In her Instagram Story, the 34-year-old actress blamed one of the "Bollywood superstars" for the Internet-favourite couple's split.
Her penned note said that the divorce happened after Chaitanya became close to the 'Bollywood divorce expert'.
She further claimed that the superstar in question has "ruined many women and children's lives," and is Chaitanya's guiding light.
As a part of another Insta Story, she expressed her views about a rise in divorce cases in today's time, and how men are to be blamed.
"Whenever divorce happens, fault is always the man. I may sound orthodox or too judgemental but this is how God has made man and woman, their nature and dynamics. Primitively scientifically, he is a hunter and she is a nurturer. Stop being kind to these brats who change women like clothes and then claim to be their best friends. Yes, out of hundred, yes, one woman can be wrong but that's the ratio. Shame on these brats who get encouragement from the media and fans. They hail them and judge the woman. Divorce culture is growing like never before," she wrote.
The fans had started speculating trouble in their marriage last month after Prabhu had dropped 'Akkineni' from her name on her Twitter account.
Chay-Sam met on the sets of Gautham Menon's iconic 2010 Telugu film 'Ye Maaya Chesave', and started dating soon after. After dating for eight years, they got engaged in January 2017 and tied the knot in October the same year in Goa.
An unforgettable night .. to a new beginning .. thank you ..my love @Samanthaprabhu2 .. my family and everyone out… https://t.co/vvgVobYyHy
