Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya made their relationship official with an engagement in Hyderabad on August 8. The couple had been dating since Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu parted ways in 2021. In 2023, Sobhita shared her admiration for Chaitanya and Samantha in an interview with Bollywood Bubble.
When asked about Samantha, Sobhita praised her career, saying, “Her journey is super cool. If you look at her filmography, the way she can headline a project now is really impressive.” When discussing Chaitanya, Sobhita initially seemed unsure before the interviewer clarified he meant Naga Chaitanya. She then mentioned, “I appreciate his temperament. He appears so calm and dignified.”
The interview resurfaced on X (formerly Twitter) after the engagement, and fans found Sobhita’s initial confusion about Chaitanya amusing. Comments included, “What an effortless acting at Naga?” and “Nice interview… cool-headed, calm, dignified, she says about Naga Chaitanya.”
On Thursday morning, Nagarjuna shared photos on X announcing Chaitanya and Sobhita’s engagement. Both were dressed in traditional attire. He wrote, “We are thrilled to announce our son’s engagement, Naga Chaitanya, to Sobhita Dhulipala, which took place this morning at 9:42 a.m.! We are overjoyed to welcome her into our family. Congratulations to the happy couple! Wishing them a lifetime of love and happiness. God bless! 8.8.8. A beginning of infinite love.”
Chaitanya will soon be seen in Thandel, while Sobhita will star in Sitara and the next season of Made in Heaven.
