| Controversy |
In 2021, when the South Indian actors Samantha Akkineni and Naga Chaitanya announced their separation, people started trolling Samantha’s stylist Preetham Jukalker for having an extra-marital affair with Samantha. Netizens also said that it was Preetham who was responsible for Samantha and Naga’s separation. Later, in an interview, Preetham clarified the rumours and said that he treated Samantha like his sister and called her Jiji.
He further said,
“Everybody knows that I call Samantha ‘Jiji’ which is a north Indian term for sister. How can there possibly be a link-up between us? I’ve known Chaitanya for years. He too knows the kind of relationship that Samantha and I have. I feel that he could’ve spoken up and told people not to comment like that about Sam and me. Even if he had issued one statement, it would have made a lot of difference. Right now, it’s these so-called fans who are making these statements and spreading false rumours. I think a statement from Chaitanya’s side would’ve helped keep these people in check.” |
