Naga Chaitanya, one of the most celebrated actors in Telugu cinema, ended his four-year marriage with leading actress Samantha in 2021. Since then, rumours swirled about his relationship with actress Sobhita Dhulipala, though neither addressed the speculations. Last night, reports surfaced suggesting that Chaitanya and Sobhita were set to get engaged today.

In a surprising turn, Chaitanya's father, Nagarjuna, took to social media to confirm the news, officially announcing his son's engagement to Sobhita Dhulipala this morning. He shared heartfelt photos from the intimate ceremony, which appears to have taken place at Naga Chaitanya's residence. Interestingly, sources reveal that the engagement took place on August 8th, the same date Samantha had proposed to Naga Chaitanya several years ago.

Nagarjuna expressed his joy with a touching message: "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 (sic)." This news has quickly gone viral with the fans and celebrities showering wishes on the couple.
