Naga Chaitanya was previously married to actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu. However, the two announced the separation in October 2021. They had issued statements on their respective social media accounts at the time.


Sobhita and Naga Chaitanya met a few months after his divorce from Samantha. Sometime around May 2022, Naga and Sobhita were first spotted together in Hyderabad, where Sobhita was promoting her film, ‘Major’. That's when they clicked, their friendship got thicker and they started dating each other.


Naga Chaitanya made his Hindi film debut the same year with the Aamir Khan-starrer ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ in which he essayed the role of the titular character’s colleague in the Indian Army and his good friend, Balaraju ‘Bala’ Bodi.


Shobhita was recently seen in ‘Monkey Man’ and the streaming series ‘Made In Heaven’.
