‘The Wedding Is Not Immediately’


‘My
boy
doesn’t
show
his
feelings
to
anyone
but
I
knew
he
was
unhappy.’
‘To
see
him
smile
again…
Sobhita
and
Chay
make
a
wonderful
couple.’

Nagarjuna

is
quite
excited
by
the
latest
developments
at
home.

His
son
Naga
Chaitanya
got


engaged

to
Sobhita
Dhulipala
on
August
8,
and
hopes
for
a
second
attempt
at
happiness
after
his
divorce
from
Samantha
Ruth
Prabhu.

“Pray
for
Chay
and
Sobhita
to
be
happy
together
forever,
Nagarjuna
tells

Subhash
K
Jha
.
“I
know
they
love
each
other
deeply.
Pray
that
the
love
remains.”


It’s
celebration
time
in
your
family.

Yes.
My
son
has
found
love,
and
I
can’t
tell
you
how
happy
I
am.

Sobhita
is
a
wonderful
girl,
very
sober,
grounded
and
not
like
a
typical
actress.

I
have
always
counted
my
blessings
in
life.
Now
I
feel
God
has
given
me
everything.
I
can’t
ask
for
any
more.


How
was
the
engagement?

It
went
very
well,
thanks
to
the
good
wishes
of
friends
like
you,
who
have
always
stood
by
my
family
and
me.

Chay
has
found
happiness
again.
He
is
very
happy.
So
am
I.

It
has
not
been
an
easy
time
for
Chay
or
the
family.
The
separation
(from
Samantha
)
left
him
very
depressed.

My
boy
doesn’t
show
his
feelings
to
anyone
but
I
knew
he
was
unhappy.

To
see
him
smile
again…
Sobhita
and
Chay
make
a
wonderful
couple.
They
love
each
other
dearly.

Tell
us
about
the
engagement.
Who
did
you
invite?

Only
the
immediate
family
was
there:
Sobhita’s
parents
and
sister,
Chay’s
mother
and
my
wife
Amala.
That’s
it.

Sobhita’s
family
really
like
Chay.

My
son
is
a
gem
of
a
boy,
he
deserves
happiness.

I
am
very
proud
that
both
my
sons
have
turned
to
be
fine
men.

We
chose
this
day
because
it
is
very
auspicious.

Both
families
consulted
the
Nakshatras
and
when
we
were
told
August
8
was
a
very
auspicious
day,
we
decided
to
go
ahead
with
it.


When
is
the
wedding?

Not
immediately.

We
chose
to
have
a
hurried
engagement
because
it
was
an
auspicious
day
and
since
Chay
and
Sobhita
are
very
sure
that
they
want
to
marry.


Do
you
get
along
with
Sobhita?

Very
much
so.
You
will
be
surprised
to
know
that
I
know
her
from
long
before
Chay
did.


What
do
you
mean?

(Laughs)
Yes.
Chay
got
to
know
Sobhita
two
years
ago
but
I
know
her
for
six
years.

I
saw
her
in
Adivi
Sesh’s
film

Goodachari

and
liked
her
work.
I
told
her
that.

From
then
onwards,
we
have
had
many
discussions
on
cinema,
life
and
philosophy.

Sobhita
is
a
very
well-informed
girl.

You
were
very
close
to
Samantha.
When
your
son
married
her,
you
said
she
was
more
like
a
daughter
than
a
daughter-in-law.

Yes,
that
remains
unaltered.
What
happens
between
a
couple
is
an
entirely
different
matter.


Closing
thoughts?

Pray
for
Chay
and
Sobhita
to
be
happy
together
forever.
I
know
they
love
each
other
deeply.
Pray
that
the
love
remains.
