Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s Real Emotional Reason For Redesigning Her Wedding Gown

Just last year, Samantha Ruth Prabhu grabbed the headlines and made heads turn after she chose to redesign her wedding gown from her 2017 marriage to Naga Chaitanya and gave it a bold new identity. The repurposed gown became more than a style statement, it became symbolic, with netizens calling it a “revenge dress”, drawing parallels with Princess Diana’s iconic fashion moment. Now, recently, the designer of the bold gown and BFF of the actress, Kresha Bajaj, opened up on the real reason why Samantha redesigned her wedding gown.

In a conversation, designer Kresha Bajaj revealed that the gown was far more than just a piece of clothing, it represented a deeply personal memory for Samantha. The actress wanted to reclaim that memory, and Bajaj felt privileged to help her do so. While the essence and soul of the original outfit were preserved, the gown was thoughtfully reimagined to reflect Samantha’s journey. Rather than erasing the past, the redesign acknowledged it with grace, transforming the garment into something meaningful and entirely new.

The gown, originally worn during her intimate 2017 wedding to Naga Chaitanya, featured a delicately beaded bodice and understated elegance, qualities preserved in the redesigned version. Samantha wore it with quiet confidence at the Elle event, and the actress mentioned that it was a “beloved gown” that was repurposed by her talented friend.

The move had caught the attention of fans and fashion enthusiasts, with many praising the eco-conscious decision to upcycle the outfit, while others were deeply moved by the emotional undertone. Samantha and Naga Chaitanya’s separation in 2021 was one of the most talked-about events in Indian entertainment. But by choosing to wear her wedding dress, Samantha made a quiet yet powerful statement.
