Samantha Didn’t Remove Her “YMC” Tattoo—Viral Rumors Busted
A few days ago, social media and several media outlets were abuzz with reports claiming that Samantha Ruth Prabhu had removed the “YMC” tattoo from her upper back. The tattoo, which stands for Ye Maaya Chesave—her debut Telugu film and the one that marked the beginning of her relationship with ex-husband Naga Chaitanya—has been a sentimental piece of body art for years.
The Viral Photoshoot Sparked the Rumor
Speculation began when Samantha’s “YMC” tattoo was not visible in a recent photoshoot, leading fans and media to assume she had removed it for good. Several entertainment portals and social media handles quickly reported the alleged removal, interpreting it as a symbolic closure of her past relationship.
However, in a recent paparazzi sighting outside a gym in Mumbai, Samantha was spotted in a sleeveless outfit, and the tattoo was visible on her upper back. This disproves the removal claims and suggests that the tattoo was simply covered with makeup for the shoot.
Rumor Ends Here: The Tattoo Still Exists
The viral assumption now appears to be unfounded. Samantha has neither addressed nor confirmed any tattoo removal, reinforcing the idea that the disappearance in the photoshoot was purely cosmetic.
Career & Personal Life Update
On the work front, Samantha recently appeared in a cameo role in Shubham, which also marked her debut as a producer. She is also gearing up for her international web series Citadel: Honey Bunny alongside Varun Dhawan.
Meanwhile, on the personal front, there’s speculation that Samantha is dating filmmaker Raj Nidimoru of The Family Man fame. However, neither party has confirmed nor denied these rumors, keeping fans curious.
