In a surprising yet symbolic move, Samantha Ruth Prabhu has removed the YMC tattoo from her back, a reminder of her past relationship with actor Naga Chaitanya. Fans noticed this subtle yet powerful change after she posted a new video on Instagram. In it, she appears in a bold, backless outfit and shares the message “Nothing to Hide.” The once-visible tattoo is now gone, and this confirms what many fans had suspected, Samantha has chosen to let go of yet another memory tied to her former marriage.
Why the YMC Tattoo Was Special
Ye Maaya Chesave, the 2010 Telugu film, brought Samantha and Naga Chaitanya together for the first time. It also inspired the YMC tattoo, which marked the beginning of their real-life romance. Over the years, Samantha got three tattoos to reflect her deep connection with Chaitanya. Among them, the “YMC” tattoo on her back stood out the most.
The couple tied the knot in 2017 with a grand ceremony that blended Hindu and Christian traditions. Their marriage ended in 2021. Since then, Samantha has shown grace and dignity while gradually erasing traces of her past, both emotionally and physically.
Samantha Removes All Tattoos Related to Naga Chaitanya
Samantha has already taken steps to remove or cover other tattoos that symbolized her bond with Chaitanya. Now that she has removed the “YMC” tattoo, she no longer carries any visible ink linked to him. This move clearly reflects her healing process and her desire to begin a fresh chapter in life.
Rumours of a New Beginning with Raj Nidimoru
Meanwhile, fans and media have speculated about Samantha’s growing closeness with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru, known for The Family Man and Citadel. Some reports even claim that they are exploring the idea of living together. A Pinkvilla source said the two developed a bond during the Citadel shoot.
However, Samantha’s team strongly denied these rumours and called them “false.” Neither Samantha nor Raj has commented publicly on the matter.
