Naga Chaitanya was previously married to actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu. However, the two announced their separation in October 2021. They had released statements on their respective social media accounts at the time.
Shobhita and Naga Chaitanya met a few months after his divorce from Samantha. Around May 2022, Naga and Shobhita were first seen together in Hyderabad, where Shobhita was promoting her film ‘Major’. That’s when their friendship deepened and they started dating each other.
Naga Chaitanya made his Hindi film debut in the same year with the Aamir Khan starrer ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, in which he played Aamir’s colleague in the Indian Army and his good friend, Balaraju ‘Bala’ Bodi.
Sobhita was recently seen in ‘Monkey Man’ and the streaming series ‘Made in Heaven’.
