Samantha Ruth Prabhu made headlines for repurposing her white wedding gown into a bold black bodycon dress years after her divorce from Naga Chaitanya. Now, she has once again grabbed social media attention for her jewellery, which users believe she has re-purposed—specifically, her engagement ring transformed into a stylish necklace.
A popular jewellery influencer, Dhrumit Merulia, recently shared an intriguing revelation on his Instagram handle. According to his research, Samantha might have reportedly repurposed her engagement ring from her former husband, Naga Chaitanya. He supported his claims with pictures from her time with Chay and after their divorce. It suggests that the 3-carat princess-cut diamond ring gifted to Samantha during their engagement has now been transformed into a pendant.

However, Samantha has not addressed these claims and reports, but the resemblance between the pendant and the original ring has led to widespread speculation.
Last year, she modified her white wedding gown into a stylish black dress, which many labelled a ‘revenge dress‘. However, Samantha later clarified that it was never about revenge but rather a representation of her resilience and self-acceptance following her divorce.
In an interview with Galatta India last year, Samantha spoke about the societal pressures women face after a divorce. She highlighted how divorced women are often burdened with negative labels and judgment, making the journey even more challenging for them and their families.
Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu shared the screen in the 2010 romantic drama ‘Ye Maaya Chesave’, and they tied the knot in 2017. The duo left fans heartbroken with their announcement about their split in 2021. They officially ended their marriage in 2022.
Meanwhile, Naga Chaitanya married actress Sobhita Dhulipala last year in a traditional Telugu wedding ceremony.
