Actors Naga Chaitanya and Samantha were married in 2017. However, their marriage didn't last long and they had to be separated in 2021. Later, Naga Chaitanya started dating Shobita Dhulipala and married her in December 2024. When asked whether she felt envied about her ex moving on and getting married, Samantha said that she has no place for "envy" in her heart.

Speaking in a recent interview with GQ, Samantha said that she had been through too much in her life to dwell on that and added she prioritizes mental health more than anything else.

Samantha stated that one quality that she dislinks from herself is envy. She says that she refuses to let it be a part of her. "Everything else is fine, but there's no space for anything as unhealthy as envy," she said.

Samantha made these statements amid her rumoured relationship with director Raj Nidimoru of the Raj-DK duo. Both of them were spotted together in a recent pickleball match in Chennai. Raj and Samantha worked together in The Family Man Season 2 and Citadel: Honey Bunny.
