The grand wedding celebrations of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna became one of the biggest gatherings in Tollywood, attended by several prominent film stars and industry personalities. However, fans were quick to notice the absence of actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu from the celebrations, which soon sparked speculation online.
According to reports circulating in Telugu media and industry circles, Samantha may have chosen to skip the event to avoid an awkward encounter with her ex-husband Naga Chaitanya. Chaitanya reportedly attended the celebrations along with his wife, actor Sobhita Dhulipala.
Sources suggest that Samantha did not want to create an uncomfortable situation or a public face-off with the couple, which may have influenced her decision to stay away from the event. While the wedding and reception saw several big names in attendance, Samantha’s absence quickly became a talking point among fans and netizens.
