Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala's Engagement Highlights

On August 8, 2024, Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala officially announced their engagement in a traditional ceremony. The event, held at Chaitanya’s Hyderabad residence, was a private affair with close family members.

The ceremony began with a traditional pooja, followed by a vegetarian lunch featuring Andhra cuisine. Attendees included Naga Chaitanya’s family—his parents Nagarjuna Akkineni and Lakshmi Daggubati, his stepmother Amala Akkineni, and his half-brother Akhil. Sobhita Dhulipala’s parents, a marine engineer and a government school teacher, also attended.

After the engagement, Nagarjuna Akkineni hosted a celebratory dinner. He publicly announced the engagement on X (formerly Twitter), welcoming Sobhita into their family. Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita have been rumored to be dating since 2022, following Chaitanya’s divorce from Samantha Ruth Prabhu.

On the work front, Naga Chaitanya is currently filming "Thandel," directed by Chandoo Mondeti. The movie, set in Srikakulam, features Chaitanya as a member of a fishermen community and marks his second collaboration with Sai Pallavi, who plays his love interest.
