Tollywood star Naga Chaitanya recently got engaged to actress Sobhita Dhulipala in a private ceremony on August 8. The couple's engagement photos have been widely shared and celebrated online, though the Akkineni family has yet to announce the wedding date.
In a recent interview, Chay’s father, veteran actor Nagarjuna, spoke publicly for the first time about his son’s separation from Samantha and his engagement to Sobhita. Nagarjuna shared that Chay experienced a period of depression following the split but is now "very happy" with Sobhita.
Nagarjuna praised the successful engagement and noted that Chay has rediscovered his happiness. He acknowledged that the separation was challenging for Chay, who tends to keep his emotions private. However, the family is relieved to see him smiling again. Nagarjuna expressed his approval of the couple, saying that Chay and Sobhita share a deep and loving bond.
Chaitanya and Samantha, who had been together for several years, married in a high-profile ceremony in 2017. Their unexpected separation in October 2021 shocked many. Chay and Sobhita’s relationship became public around a year ago.
