Sobhita Dhulipala has opened up about a lesser-known aspect of her marriage to Naga Chaitanya, revealing that the couple spent much of their first year as husband and wife apart because of their work commitments.
The couple tied the knot in December 2024, but just weeks after the wedding, Sobhita left for a shoot in Tamil Nadu, where she spent more than 150 days. As a result, she said she was able to meet Chaitanya only about once a month during their first year of marriage.
In an interview with Vogue India, Sobhita spoke about how the two have been navigating married life while balancing demanding careers.
“Within a few weeks of being married [in December 2024], I left to shoot in Tamil Nadu. I was there for over 150 days and in the first year of our marriage, I probably saw him maybe once a month, so we were still understanding this mix together. Now, in the past few months, we're adapting to life. The one thing I know is we both prioritise what's needed to keep the connection healthy,” she said.
Sobhita also revealed that marriage turned out differently from what she had imagined while growing up. She said she never expected to marry an actor or someone from her own state, though she had always dreamed of having a wedding rooted in her culture.
“I didn't think I'd end up with someone who's an actor or from my state, but I always wanted a wedding that had my culture's nuances. It was part of the fantasy from when I was a child,” she added.
Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya confirmed their relationship in August 2024 when they got engaged in Hyderabad. They later married on December 4, 2024, in a traditional Telugu ceremony at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad.
