Nagarjuna explains why Sobhita Dhulipala-Naga Chaitanya chose to have a ‘hurried engagement’, shares wedding plans
In a recent interview, Nagarjuna said that he has known Sobhita Dhulipala even before Naga Chaitanya. The veteran actor expressed his happiness for the new couple.

After Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya’s engagement, his father Nagarjuna has shared details about their upcoming wedding. In a recent interview, the veteran actor shared his excitement of welcoming Sobhita to the family. He also shared why the families opted for August 8 as the engagement date.
In an interview with Times Now, Nagarjuna said that he was happy for his son to have found a partner. He said, “Sobhita and Chay make a wonderful couple. They love each other dearly.” Sharing details about the engagement date, Nagarjuna said, “We chose this day because it was very auspicious. Both families consulted the Nakshatras, and when we were told August 8 was a very auspicious day, we decided to go ahead with it.” There were rumours that Naga Chaitanya’s ex-wife Samantha had proposed to Naga Chaitanya on the same date.
When asked about the couple’s wedding date, Nagarjuna said, “Not immediately. We chose to have a hurried engagement because it was an auspicious day, and since Chay and Sobhita are very sure that they want to marry, we said, let’s do it.”
The actor further revealed that it was a happy occasion for both the families. “Sobhita’s family really likes Chay. Can’t blame them. My son is a gem of a boy. He deserves happiness”, said the actor.
Nagarjuna said that he has known Sobhita even before Chay met her. He said, “I know her from a long time. Chay got to know Sobhita just two years ago. But, I have known her for six years. I saw her in Adivi Sesh’s film Goodachari and liked her work. I told her that. From then on, we have had many discussions on cinema, life, and philosophy. Sobhita is a very well-informed girl.”
Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya’s engagement on Thursday was attended by the couple’s immediate family members including Naga Chaitanya’s mother and Nagarjuna’s ex-wife Lakshmi Daggubati. The ceremony was held at Nagarjuna’s residence in Hyderabad. On Thursday, Nagarjuna took to his X handle to share the first photos of the engaged couple. A day later, Sobhita too took to her Instagram handle to share unseen photos from the ceremony.
