Naga Chaitanya: Samantha threatened to tie a rakhi if I didn’t tell my parents about us

Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu have been Tollywood’s sweethearts ever since their relationship went public. Their love story began on the sets of ‘

Ye Maaya Chesave

’ and they got engaged earlier this year. During a recently held press meet Chay revealed that he decided to tell his parents about Samantha only after she threatened to tie a rakhi on his wrist.


“We fell in love during the making of 'Ye Maaya Chesave' in 2009 and the love affair continued very well in the following years. I, however, was delaying revealing to my parents about my love affair despite Sam’s insistence. One day, when we were chatting casually, Sam threatened to tie a ‘rakhi’ on me if I didn’t tell about the love to my parents. I was shocked by her threat and spoke about my love soon after to my parents and got their consent,” he said.

On the work front, Chay will be seen in action-thriller ‘

Yuddham Sharanam

’ along with Lavanya Tripathi in the lead. The movie is set to hit the screens tomorrow. On the other hand, Samantha has ‘Mersal’, ‘Mahanati’ and ‘Rangasthalam in her kitty.
