Putting speculations to rest, veteran actor, Nagarjuna Akkineni, on Thursday, took to his X (Twitter handle) to announce the engagement of his son and actor, Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala. For weeks, speculations were rife that the couple was all set to make things official soon, so when the Chandralekha actor finally shared the news and first photos from Chay and Sobhita ’s special day on X, their fans and social media weren’t surprised.

Sharing radiant photos from the ceremony, Nagarjuna wrote, “We are delighted to announce the engagement of our son, 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” read his post.  This caught everyone’s attention as the mention of ‘8.8.8’ instead of 8.8.2024 with many wondering why the couple chose this specific date to put a ring on their relationship. Chances are you have already scrolled through a dozen Reels talking about the significance of the day, Aug 8, 2024, on Instagram. According to astrologists and numerologists, 8.8.8 (the eighth day of August and 2024 is a multiple of 8), August 8 is the day of great significance in numerology and astrology, calling it a powerful “celestial event” when Lion’s Gate Portal opens and is considered a great day for manifestation. It is said that the day has an energetic influence on individuals and is a perfect opportunity for spiritual awakening.  

Dr Neeti Kaushik, motivational speaker who speaks on spirituality, on her YouTube Channel, explained that the Lion’s Gate Portal marks a time when the Earth aligns with the star Sirius, creating a cosmic alignment that allows for heightened spiritual energy and transformation. “Sirius is the brightest star in the sky. This event is deeply rooted in numerology, astrology, and ancient wisdom, offering a unique opportunity for personal growth and ascension.”

That’s when they clicked, their friendship got thicker and they started dating each other.  The couple has been dating ever since. In fact, they have been spotted abroad as well, spending quality time with each other in the company of their friends.  Putting an end to all the speculations, Naga and Sobhita have gotten engaged today in a traditional ceremony blessed by their families. We wish the couple the best in their journey together,” read the statement.
