Naga Chaitanya Akkineni and Sobhita Dhulipala got engaged in a private ceremony this morning in Hyderabad. Naga Chaitanya’s father, Nagarjuna confirmed the news on social media, sharing pictures from the event. As the engagement news spread, an old video featuring Sobhita commenting about Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya went viral on social media.
The video, which dates back to the promotional events of “The Night Manager” series, shows Sobhita being asked about her opinions on actors who have successfully transitioned into Bollywood. When asked about Samantha, Sobhita admired her journey, saying, “I think her journey is super cool. If you see her filmography, the way she can headline a project is cool.”
Sobhita also spoke positively about Naga Chaitanya, describing him as “calm and dignified.” She remarked, “I think his temperament is good. He seems like such a cool-headed, calm guy, and dignified. I appreciate it.”

Although Sobhita and Naga Chaitanya have never worked together on screen, their relationship has been a topic of speculation in the media. The rumors started circulating in May 2023 when the couple was first spotted together in Hyderabad. The speculation intensified after a photo of them enjoying a wine-tasting session during a European holiday went viral in June.
While their engagement is a happy occasion, the couple has faced criticism from fans of Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Naga Chaitanya’s ex-wife. Samantha and Chaitanya announced their separation in October 2021, ending their four-year marriage and requesting privacy as they moved forward with their lives. Despite the backlash, Sobhita and Naga Chaitanya’s relationship has become one of the most talked-about topics in recent times.
