Naga Chaitanya and Shobhita Dhulipala have started a new chapter of their life in Hyderabad after they tied the knot at Annapurna Studios on December 4. While fans continue to speculate about their love story, the couple recently opened up about their bond, first date and more during an interview with The New York Times. They revealed that their connection started through social media.
Naga Chaitanya and Shobhita spent most of their relationship in different cities. She lived in Mumbai, while he lived in Hyderabad. A few weeks after they started chatting on Instagram, Chai decided to move to Mumbai. He flew an hour to meet her for a lunch date at a famous café. This gesture marked a special moment in their budding relationship.
The Made in Heaven actress said, “That was the charming part. It was very old school in a way.” On the other hand, the Thandel star revealed why he went to Mumbai to meet Shobhita. “I’m not a fan of texting. I’m not a fan of communicating on social media,” he said.
About a week later, Sobhita and Naga Chaitanya reunited at an Amazon Prime event in Mumbai. She joined the program for his series Made in Heaven, while he was there for his show Dhutha. This meeting added another moment to their growing relationship. The actress said, “I was in the red dress; he was in the blue suit. And the rest is history.”
During the interview, the couple also talked about their first trip together. They shared that during the summer they went on their first trip together to Bandipur National Park in Karnataka. Naga Chaitanya’s friends also joined him in this holiday.
The couple spent time socializing and laughing. They enjoyed simple activities like playing chess and applying henna on each other’s hands. Shobhita said, “He is a doer. I am a doer, I am the waving kite, and he is the anchor. Our differences really keep us interested and curious about each other.”
Subsequently, in November, the couple traveled to London to celebrate the Dhootha star’s birthday. He has a deep love for techno music and one of his favorite artists, Tale of Us, was performing a concert there.
After her trip to London in 2022, Sobhita met the Akkineni family for the first time on New Year’s Eve. The following year, Chai visited his family in Visakhapatnam. This began their journey as a couple.
