Nagarjuna revealed that his son and actor Naga Chaitanya was depressed after his divorce with Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The suprestar also shared that his equation with Samantha remains unaltered. He further shared that Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala love each other and he is happy to see his son smiling again. Getting into the details of the engagement day, the actor shared that only the immediate family from both sides attended the auspicious occasion. He also revealed why the families chose the date 8th of August for the engagement ceremony. 

Nagarjuna said, “It (engagement) went very very well. Chay has found happiness again. He is very happy. So am I! It has not been an easy time for Chay or the family. The separation from Samantha left him very depressed. My boy doesn’t show his feelings to anyone. But I knew he was unhappy. To see him smile again…Sobhita and Chay make a wonderful couple. They love each other dearly,”

“Only the immediate family was there. Sobhita's parents and sister. Chay's mother was there, of course. My wife, Amala, was there. That's it. We chose this day because it is very auspicious. Both families consulted the Nakshatras, and when we were told August 8 was a very auspicious day, we decided to go ahead with it,” he continued. 

While speaking about Sobhita and Chaitanya’s marriage, Nagarjuna added, “Not immediately. Like I told you, we chose to have a hurried engagement because it was an auspicious day, and since Chay and Sobhita are very sure that they want to marry, we said, 'Let's do it'!”

Reacting to his equation with Samantha Ruth Prabhu, he said “That remains unaltered. What happens between a couple is an entirely different matter.” 

On Thursday, Nagarjuna took to social media and shared the news of Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya’s engagement. He wrote “We are delighted to announce the engagement of our son, Naga Chaitanya, to Sobhita Dhulipala, which took place this morning at 9:42 a.m.!! We are overjoyed to welcome her into our family. Congratulations to the happy couple! Wishing them a lifetime of love and happiness. God bless!" 8.8.8 A beginning of infinite love Sobhitad chayakkineni @chay_akkineni.”
