Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala's new chapter

Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala tied the knot on December 4 last year. Their intimate wedding ceremony took place at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad, attended by close friends and family.

In a recent conversation with Hindustan Times, Chaitanya opened up about life after marriage, calling it “great.” He shared, “Married life is great! I’m totally enjoying it. It’s just been a couple of months. I think we both invest equally in work and away from work; so, we have that work-life balance very much intact. I think that’s one of the qualities we both really connected on also.”

Common roots and a love for cinema

Talking about the bond he shares with Sobhita beyond their acting careers, Chaitanya revealed that their cultural roots played a big part in bringing them closer. “You know, we are both from Andhra. She is from Vizag and I love Vizag. Our roots are similar though we are not from the same cities and so, culturally, there was a lot of connect," he said.

He added that their shared curiosity about life and love for traveling helped spark deeper conversations and built a strong connection.

It also marks the second collaboration between Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi after their much-loved film Love Story. Thandel released on February 7. ETimes review for the film reads, "Thandel is an engaging romantic action drama that delivers on its promise. While there are moments where the narrative could have been tighter, the film’s decent storytelling, moving music, stunning visuals and brilliant lead performances ensure it leaves an impact. If you’re looking for an intense love story with drama, action, and a touch of patriotism, Thandel is worth a watch."
