After much speculation about their relationship, Tollywood stars Naga Chaitanya and Shobhita Dhulipala finally put the rumours to rest by announcing their engagement on Thursday. However, eagle-eyed netizens quickly noticed a curious detail: the date of their engagement coincided with the day Chaitanya's ex-wife, actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu, had proposed to him.

This coincidence has fuelled further discussion online. One X user even shared a throwback picture of the former couple, pointing out that Prabhu had proposed to Chaitanya on the exact same date - August 8.

While the reasons behind Chaitanya and Prabhu's split remain undisclosed, many of Samantha's fans have speculated that Chaitanya's rumoured affair with ‘Night Manager’ actress Shobhita Dhulipala may have contributed to the end of their marriage.

These speculations gained traction when Samantha's stylist took to Instagram Stories to openly criticize an woman, referring to her as a "slut" and suggesting that "secrets and lies kill relationships." Though no names were mentioned, many fans believed this post was directed at Dhulipala.








Chaitanya and Samantha announced their separation in October 2021 after four years of marriage. By early 2022, Chaitanya was reportedly seen with Sobhita Dhulipala at his Hyderabad home. They were said to be at ease in each other's company, with Chaitanya even giving her a tour of his new residence.
