“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, smiling.

The actor also shared that he considers Sobhita his biggest support system. During a fun rapid-fire segment, when asked to name one thing he can’t live without, Chaitanya immediately replied, “Sobhita, my wife!"

He went on to recall a funny incident involving Sobhita’s reaction to one of the songs from Thandel, his first Rs 100 crore film. “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?" he laughed.

According to Naga, “We’re always looking for little pockets of time to squeeze in a holiday or chill together."

While Sobhita Dhulipala shared, “He was clear-headed, even-keeled, and optimistic. At that point, I was also at a place in my head where I could see that I was ready to give and to receive. The timing was just perfect. We love eating—and not just a little. We really bond over South Indian."
