Sobhita got engaged to Naga Chaitanya on August 9 this year at his residence in Hyderabad. Only the couple’s parents were present for the intimate engagement ceremony. Talking to Galatta, the actor admitted she always saw herself married and with kids. “I did always think that I always wanted the whole motherhood experience. I was very clear about it, and getting married. I always saw myself in that setting. I am very attached to my roots, to tradition and my parents,” she said.

Upcoming work

After Mani’s Ponniyin Selvan: I and II, Sobhita was seen in the English film Monkey Man. The film, directed by and starring Dev Patel, is yet to be released in India. However, it received good reviews from critics and the audience and made good money at the box office. She recently starred in a Zee5 original film called Love, Sitara in which she played the titular character. Sobhita also dubbed for Deepika Padukone’s character SU-M80 in Telugu for Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD.
