Ever since actors Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya tied the knot in December 2024, public curiosity around their personal lives has shown no signs of slowing down. While the couple has largely maintained a dignified silence, social media speculation continues to swirl—this time around a possible new chapter in their lives. The latest buzz suggests that the newlyweds may be expecting their first child, sparking widespread chatter online despite no official confirmation from the couple or their families.
Fueling the rumors further was a recent interaction involving Naga Chaitanya’s father, veteran actor Nagarjuna Akkineni. During an encounter with Suman TV, Nagarjuna was directly asked whether he was about to be “promoted from father to grandfather.” Caught off guard, the actor laughed awkwardly and initially attempted to walk away. When pressed again about the circulating pregnancy rumors, Nagarjuna smiled and replied cryptically, “I’ll let you know at the right time.”
While his response neither confirmed nor denied the speculation, it was enough to set social media abuzz. Fans quickly flooded comment sections with congratulatory messages and well-wishes for the Akkineni family, interpreting Nagarjuna’s reaction as a subtle hint rather than a dismissal.
Sobhita and Chaitanya’s relationship has been under the spotlight for years. Rumors of their romance first emerged in 2022 when Sobhita was reportedly spotted visiting Chaitanya’s Hyderabad residence. Their alleged vacation together in London further fueled speculation. However, the couple chose to remain tight-lipped for nearly two years before officially acknowledging their relationship with an engagement announcement in August 2024.
They eventually got married on December 4, 2024, in an intimate ceremony held at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad. The wedding was attended only by close friends and family, marking the beginning of a new phase in their lives—one that continues to be closely followed by fans and media alike.
Before marrying Sobhita, Naga Chaitanya was previously married to actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The former couple met on the sets of the 2010 romantic drama Ye Maaya Chesave, tied the knot in 2017, and parted ways in 2021 after months of speculation. Samantha has since reportedly married filmmaker Raj Nidimoru in a private ceremony held in Coimbatore on December 1 this year.
On the work front, Sobhita Dhulipala was last seen in Monkey Man and Love Sitara in 2024, earning praise for her performances in Ponniyin Selvan and The Night Manager. Naga Chaitanya recently appeared in Thandel and is currently working on Vrushakarma. Nagarjuna was last seen in Coolie and is yet to announce his next project.
