Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala are set to officially announce their relationship with an engagement ceremony taking place this Thursday afternoon. The event will be held at Chaitanya’s father Nagarjuna’s home in Hyderabad, according to sources close to the couple.
The ceremony is expected to be a “very private and intimate” affair, emphasizing the couple’s desire to keep their special moment close to family. Naga Chaitanya, a popular Telugu actor, and Sobhita Dhulipala, a Bollywood actress, have been in a relationship since 2022 but have kept it largely under wraps until now.
Who Will Attend
The engagement will see the presence of close family members. Nagarjuna’s wife, Amala Akkineni, and Chaitanya’s brother, Akhil, will be there, along with Sobhita Dhulipala’s parents. Nagarjuna’s residence in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, known for its luxury and as a notable landmark among Telugu film fans, will be the venue for this special occasion.
Fans often gather outside the Akkineni family home, which spans over 4,000 square feet, hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorite stars. It’s expected that Nagarjuna will share the news of the engagement on social media once the ceremony concludes.
In light of the engagement, the shooting schedule for Chaitanya’s ongoing film Thandel has been adjusted. The production house Geetha Arts, which is behind the film, has canceled the shoot for August 8. Chaitanya, who stars alongside Sai Pallavi in the film, is anticipated to resume shooting on Friday.
Naga Chaitanya’s Past and Relationship Timeline
Naga Chaitanya was previously married to Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The couple tied the knot in Goa on October 6, 2017, but announced their separation in October 2021. Samantha Ruth Prabhu has since been busy promoting her series Citadel with Varun Dhawan.
The relationship between Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala, 32, has received positive feedback from their families. Nagarjuna recently praised Sobhita at a movie event, noting her impressive performance and charm. “She was so good (in the film). I mean, I should not say it like this but she was hot in the film. There is something that’s so attractive about her,” he remarked. This comment has gone viral on social media alongside the engagement news.
Chaitanya and Sobhita, who are expected to marry later in 2024, have been careful to keep their relationship private. Their romance was first hinted at through a Reddit thread with blurry photos of the couple at a restaurant in London. Despite their efforts to maintain privacy, separate social media posts from the two at similar locations sparked further speculation about their relationship.
The couple is known to share a mutual interest in Formula 1, and their bond has been evident through various photos of them at events like wine tastings in Europe. Although they have been frequently asked about their relationship, they have typically responded with smiles rather than detailed comments.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the engagement announcement and look forward to seeing more about the couple’s journey together.
