Actors Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala got engaged on Thursday in Hyderabad. The news was shared by Naga Chaitanya's father Nagarjuna who took to X to share two pictures from the ceremony.
The pictures were captioned, "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."
The pictures were widely shared on social media and the couple received congratulatory messages from fans and industry colleagues. However, the couple was on the receiving end of criticism from fans of Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
