Chaitanya,
37,
and
Sobhita,
32,
were
rumoured
to
have
been
dating
since
2022
after
they
were
spotted
on
a
vacation
in
Europe.
Chaitanya
was
previously
married
to
Samantha
Ruth
Prabhu
from
2017
to
2021.
Chaitanya
and
Sobhita
have
not
starred
together
in
a
film
yet.
He
was
recently
seen
in
the
Web
series,
Dootha,
whereas
Sobhita’s
latest
film
is
Dev
Patel’s
Monkey
Man.
Manish
Malhotra,
who
designed
the
couple’s
outfits,
explains
it
in
his
post.
‘Draped
in
a
medley
of
textile
specially
sourced
from
the
weaving
communities
of
Andhra
Pradesh,
Sobhita
was
keen
that
this
personal
moment
reflect
her
roots
as
well
as
pay
homage
to
its
rich
traditions.
She
is
wearing
Uppada
silk
(from
the
region
Uppada,
Andhra
Pradesh)
in
the
golden
blush
colour
of
the
Kanakaambaram,
a
traditional
temple
flower
commonly
worn
in
the
hair
by
Telugu
women
as
well
as
the
eternal
Padmam
(lotus),’
he
writes
about
Sobhita’s
sari.
‘The
silhouette,
referenced
from
paintings
of
iconic
Telugu
artist
‘Bapu’,
is
a
derivation
of
the
classic
half-saree
style
worn
by
young
women
of
South
India.’
‘Naga
Chaitanya
is
wearing
our
interpretation
of
the
classic
Pattu
pancha,
laalchi
and
kanduva
—
a
traditional
3
piece
set
worn
by
the
men
of
Andhra
Pradesh,’
he
writes
about
Nag’s
outfit.
‘The
elegance
of
ivory
brocade
and
muted
gold
tussar
silk
is
complimented
with
accents
of
dori
work
in
antique
gold
zari.
Custom
made.’
