New Delhi: Actor Naga Chaitanya recently opened up about his relationship with second wife Sobhita Dhulipala and shared how it all began. On Jagapathi Babu’s talk show Jayammu Nischayammu Raa, Naga shared that Instagram brought him and Sobhita together.

“We met on Instagram. I never imagined I would meet my partner there. I was familiar with her work. One day, when I posted about Shoyu (his cloud kitchen), she commented with an emoji. I began chatting with her, and soon after, we met,” Chaitanya said.

He recalled how Sobhita’s reaction to one of the songs from Thandel. “She was angry with me because of the song ‘Bujji Thalli’. It’s actually the nickname I have given her. She thought I had asked the director (Chandoo Mondeti) to use it in the film. She didn’t talk to me for a few days — but why would I do that?”

Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad last December. On the work front, Chay was last seen in Thandel alongside Sai Pallavi, which became a huge hit in his career.
