Although Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala have openly expressed their love for each other in private and on social media, they have largely kept their relationship away from the public eye. As a result, finding pictures of them together is rare. Despite ongoing speculation about their romance, the couple has remained discreet about its timeline. However, they have now revealed how their connection began—an interesting detail considering they have never worked together.
Sobhita recently shared that their journey started with a casual *Ask Me Anything (AMA)* session on Instagram. During the session, she came across a question asking why she wasn’t following Chaitanya. Curious, she checked his profile and was surprised to find that he was following only about 70 people—including her. “I was a little flattered, so I followed him back,” she recalled in an interview with *Vogue*.
What began as a simple online interaction soon turned into mutual admiration. Sobhita was particularly intrigued by Chaitanya’s posts about sushi, given his involvement in a pan-Asian cloud kitchen. Their casual exchanges over DMs gradually evolved into deeper conversations, strengthening their bond. Then, in April 2022, Chaitanya took a bold step—he flew to Mumbai to take Sobhita out for a breakfast date.
Even then, their love story didn’t unfold instantly. At the time, Chaitanya had recently ended his four-year marriage to actor *Samantha Ruth Prabhu*, and both he and Sobhita were uncertain about where their relationship was headed. “There was no dramatic moment—it all happened very naturally,” she explained.
Their bond eventually deepened, leading to their wedding on **December 4, 2024**, at *Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad*.
