Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya are one of the most popular actor couples in the South Indian film industry. They tied the knot back in December 2024, and within a few months of making their relationship official, their unwavering love and support for one another impressed fans. From cheering on each other’s professional endeavours to staying strong through criticism, they have overcome a lot in their relationship. Many netizens used to allege that Sobhita is the reason behind Naga Chaitanya and his ex-wife, Sobhita Dhulipala’s divorce, making her a troll target. However, the actor shared that it wasn’t true because he met Sobhita organically through Instagram. He didn’t share much then but in a recent interview, the couple shared exactly how they came across each other and when they fell in love.
Sobhita Dhulipala was flattered when she realised Naga Chaitanya followed her on IG
Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya recently sat down for an interview with Vogue India and opened up about her love story. The couple, who share the same native language and profession, weren’t unfamiliar as they lived in different cities. He used to stay in Hyderabad, and she lived in Mumbai, but one day, she held an Ask Me Anything session on Instagram when a fan asked her why she didn’t follow Naga Chaitanya on Instagram. Recalling the incident, she said:
“I found out during an Ask Me Anything. I was sifting through the questions when I saw one that asked, ‘Why aren’t you following Chay Akkineni?’ I was like, ‘What?’ So I went to his profile and saw that he was following only around 70 people, including me. I was a tiny bit flattered, so I followed him back.”
