Speaking to the Times of India, Nagarjuna recounted the serendipitous meeting that sparked the romance. “I invited her to meet me the next time she was in Hyderabad,” he explained, describing how an initial professional meeting evolved into meaningful conversations about life beyond cinema. “Chaitanya happened to walk in during one of her visits, and that’s when they met for the first time if I remember correctly.”
The 65-year-old actor couldn’t hide his admiration for his soon-to-be daughter-in-law, particularly praising her journey from Vizag to stardom. “She’s worked incredibly hard to achieve her dreams… She’s a brilliant actress who has stayed true to her values and craft. More than that, she’s very warm and grounded,” he shared.
Naga to tie the knot with Shobita on Dec 4
The couple is set to tie the knot on December 4 at Hyderabad’s Annapurna Studios in what promises to be an intimate Telugu ceremony. Breaking from the typical grandeur of celebrity weddings, Chaitanya and Sobhita have opted for a more authentic celebration, focusing on traditional elements over extravagance.
In a refreshing departure from celebrity wedding trends, the couple has chosen to source their wedding attire locally, bypassing high-end designers and stylists. Their decision to prioritize Telugu traditions and family involvement in the planning process reflects their desire for a genuine, culturally rooted celebration.
This union marks a new chapter for both families, with Nagarjuna’s evident joy adding a touching father’s perspective to this modern love story that began with a chance meeting in his home.
