Angry Naga Chaitanya fans slam Samantha Akkineni for wishing the former on his birthday: See posts here

Actor Naga Chaitanya celebrated his birthday on November 23. Best wishes poured in from all quarters for the actor on social media. Chaitanya’s father Nagarjuna Akkineni unveiled the former’s first look as Chinna Bangarraju from their upcoming film Bangarraju. Bangarraju marks Naga Chaitanya and his father Nagarjuna’s third film together. On his son’s birthday, Nagarjuna wished him by unveiling the “first look and style of Chinna Bangarraju” along with the film’s teaser.

However, fans were upset that Chaitanya’s estranged wife Samantha Akkineni didn’t wish him online. Samantha, who has been posting photos from her shoots on social media a lot lately and constantly updating about her life after separation, was criticised for not taking time out to write a birthday message for Chaitanya online.

A section of the internet also commented on Samantha’s old Instagram posts that had Chaitanya in them. “You are not wishing Naga Chaitanya on his birthday,” a fan wrote. Another one asked, “Why would you not wish Chay on his birthday?”
