Rana Daggubati celebrated his birthday on Saturday, December 14. On this special day, Samantha Ruth Prabhu took to social media to share a heartfelt birthday message for him.
Samantha posted a picture of Rana on her Instagram stories, expressing her admiration with the words, “Happy birthday my dear @ranadaggubati. Watching you put your all into everything you do has always motivated me to strive for improvement… to be better. Always a fan. God bless.”
In case you’re unaware, Rana Daggubati is the cousin of Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s former husband, Naga Chaitanya. During the IIFA Utsavam Awards earlier this year, Rana humorously commented on Samantha’s divorce from Naga Chaitanya, saying, “Samantha went from Tollywood to Hollywood. She went from being my sister-in-law to my sister.” Samantha laughed and jokingly replied, “What is this self-trolling about?”
Rana, who has affectionately called her “Samantha Ruthless Prabhu” since childhood, continued to tease Samantha about her funny side, asking, “Where did comedy Sam go?” To which Samantha quickly responded, “Comedy Sam, controversial Sam… she went to sleep; good night.”
For those who may not know, Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu were married in 2017 but announced their separation in a joint statement in October 2021.
