Before getting engaged to Naga Chaitanya, Sobhita Dhulipala was in a serious relationship. Read on to know more about it.
Hailed as the diva of OTT, Sobhita Dhulipala began her acting career in 2016 with Anurag Kashyap’s film, Raman Raghav. The former Miss India Earth then went on to appear in films like Goodachari, Major, Ponniyin Selvan and a few others. However, it is Sobhita’s impressive work in the web series that got her much-needed recognition.
Be it ‘Tara Khanna’ in Made In Heaven or ‘Kaveri Dixit’ in The Night Manager, Sobhita made a name for herself in the glamour world. Just like her professional life, Sobhita’s personal life is grabbing a lot of limelight. The actress is engaged to the handsome actor, Naga Chaitanya, and the couple is reportedly set to tie the knot on December 4, 2024.
But did you know that Sobhita was in a steady relationship before dating Naga Chaitanya? Yes, you read that right. Before Chaitanya came into her life, Sobhita was dating ace fashion designer, Pranav Misra. He is also the co-founder of the brand, Huemn.
The duo reportedly met in 2019 during a fashion show and had a brief relationship. They also went on holidays and would often comment on each other’s social media posts. Their affair was short-lived, and the duo parted ways for reasons unknown.
He once shared a picture of Sobhita along with him and penned a few beautiful lines. In the picture, Sobhita was looking at something. Heaping praises on her, Pranav wrote in Hindi:
“Kitni badi aankhein thi uski ki sab kuch wo hi dekh paa rahi thi shayad. Ladke ko to sivay uske kuch dikh hi nahi raha tha.”
After Naga Chaitanya’s separation from his first wife, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, rumours of him and Sobhita started hitting the headlines. It was Sobhita’s appearance at Chaitanya’s new home in Hyderabad which speculated their dating rumours.
In March 2023, rumours of their affair got more widespread when they were spotted together in a restaurant in London. Back then, Chef, Surender Mohan mistakenly shared a picture featuring Chaitanya posing with him while Sobhita was seen sitting in the background wearing a saree. Though the chef deleted the post later, it was quite obvious that Chaitanya and Sobhita were in a relationship.
In 2024, Chaitanya and Sobhita went on holiday in Europe and were spotted together enjoying a wine-tasting session. A Redditor took to the discussion platform to share a picture of Chaitanya and Sobhita from their trip. This glimpse led people on the internet to believe that the two were indeed in a relationship despite the couple never confirming or denying the speculations to date.
Amid all the rumours about Chaitanya and Sobhita’s affair, a post by Nagarjuna Akkineni on August 8, 2024, announcing the couple’s engagement came as a surprise to many. Sharing pictures of Chaitanya and Sobhita, Nagarjuna penned:
“We are delighted to announce the engagement of our son, Naga Chaitanya, to Sobhita Dhulipala, which took place this morning at 9:42 am!! 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."
Sobhita and Chaitanya’s wedding festivities are going on in full swing. In October 2024, the actress posted an array of pictures from her Godhuma Raayi ceremony. Sobhita Dhulipala attended the Godhuma Raayi ceremony wearing a beautiful pink Kanjivaram silk saree, reportedly gifted to her by Lakshmi Daggubati, Naga Chaitanya’s mother. The couple’s wedding is reportedly scheduled for December 4, 2024.
