Overview

• On Jagapathi Babu’s ZEE5 talk show, Naga Chaitanya said he first connected with Sobhita Dhulipala after she dropped an emoji on his Instagram post about his cloud kitchen, Shoyu.
• He recounted that the Thandel song using the phrase “Bujji Thalli,” his nickname for her, upset Sobhita and that she did not speak to him for a few days, while he denied asking the director to include it.
• During a rapid-fire segment, he answered that the one thing he cannot live without is “Sobhita, my wife.”
• The couple kept their courtship private before marrying on December 4, 2024, at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad after getting engaged in August 2024.
• Chaitanya’s comments come as Thandel became his first ₹100 crore film, providing career context to renewed interest in his personal life.
