Actors Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala tied the knot in an intimate yet grand wedding ceremony in 2024. Nearly two years into their marriage, Sobhita has opened up about how she never imagined marrying an actor. She also spoke about adjusting to married life, revealing that their demanding work schedules meant they spent very little time together during their first year of marriage.

Sobhita Dhulipala on marriage life with Naga Chaitanya

In an interview with Vogue India, Sobhita recalled her traditional Telugu wedding ceremony and said, “I didn’t think I’d end up with someone who’s an actor or from my state, but I always wanted a wedding that had my culture’s nuances. It was part of the fantasy from when I was a child.”

Talking about navigating a new marriage when both partners are ambitious and public figures, Sobhita said, “Within a few weeks of being married [in December 2024], I left to shoot in Tamil Nadu. I was there for over 150 days and in the first year of our marriage, I probably saw him maybe once a month, so we were still understanding this mix together. Now, in the past few months, we’re adapting to life. The one thing I know is we both prioritise what’s needed to keep the connection healthy.”
