Old video of Nagarjuna calling daughter-in-law Sobhita 'hot' goes viral
An old video of superstar Akkineni Nagarjuna praising his future daughter-in-law, actor Sobhita Dhulipala, has surfaced on social media amid her engagement to his son, actor Naga Chaitanya. The video, believed to be from a promotional event for the 2018 film Goodachari starring Dhulipala and Adivi Sesh, features Nagarjuna calling Dhulipala "hot" and "attractive." The clip has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some users finding the comment inappropriate.
'I should not say it like this...'
In the clip, shared on Reddit, Nagarjuna says, "I should not say it like this. (Dhulipala) was hot in the film. There is something that is just so attractive about her." Most netizens reacted negatively to the video, with one comment reading, "Even though this is from 2018 when Chaitanya and Samantha were still together, it's so weird to say this about a younger new actress." Chaitanya and Dhulipala have been rumored to be dating since 2022.
Chaitanya's previous marriage and recent work
Before his relationship with Dhulipala, Chaitanya was married to Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The couple announced their separation on social media in October 2021, just days before their fourth wedding anniversary. Chaitanya made his Bollywood debut in Aamir Khan's drama film Laal Singh Chaddha, which failed to impress at the box office. He was recently seen in the action thriller film Custody opposite actor Kirthi Shetty and received positive responses for his performance.
Dhulipala's recent work and engagement announcement
Dhulipala, on the other hand, is currently receiving praise for her performance in Monkey Man. The action-thriller follows the journey of a young man portrayed by Dev Patel, who embarks on a mission to seek justice for his mother's death. The first official pictures from Chaitanya and Dhulipala's engagement were shared by Nagarjuna. Along with the post, he expressed his happiness and wrote, "We are overjoyed to welcome her into our family. Congratulations to the happy couple!"
