For the first time, actor Naga Chaitanya responded when questioned about his rumoured girlfriend, actress Sobhita Dhulipala. In a recent interview, Naga Chaitanya was questioned about the first thought that he had upon hearing Sobhita’s name. At first, the actor laughed and nodded.

Recently, it was widely reported that Chaitanya and Sobhita were dating. Months after divorcing his ex-wife, actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu, he was first associated with Sobhita. In October of last year, Chaitanya and Samantha divorced after a nearly four-year marriage. On their respective social media accounts, they shared the news of their separation.

Chaitanya was questioned by RJ Siddharth Kannan about Sobhita. Instead of immediately responding, he first laughed loudly before nodding. Then Chaitanya merely said, “I’m just going to smile,”

Samantha responded in June to a news story that claimed Chaitanya’s supporters were angry with her PR team for spreading untrue rumours about him and Sobhita. According to the report, Chaitanya dating Sobhita rumours were purportedly spread by Samantha’s PR team. Twitter user Samantha stated, “Rumours on girl – Must be true! Boy-related rumours were sown by a girl! Man up, guys. The parties involved have undoubtedly moved on, so you should do the same. Focus on your work, your family, and moving forward.

Chaitanya recently discussed his divorce and moving forward in his interview with Times of India. We both released a statement regarding whatever we both wanted to say. I have always conducted my personal life that way. Whether it’s positive or negative, I do inform the media about things that I believe are important to share and put out. I make an announcement, inform the public, and that is all. In our situation, Samantha and I have both moved on, so I don’t feel the need to tell anyone else more than that,” he said.

Chaitanya is currently anticipating the release of Laal Singh Chadha, in which he plays the role of Balaraju. His Bollywood debut will be seen in the movie, which will open in theatres on August 11. Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Mona Singh are also featured in the film.
