Engagement Announcement Surprises Fans:
Shobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya had been the subject of relationship rumors for some time, but the couple remained tight-lipped. Their relationship was largely speculative until August 8, when Naga Chaitanya’s father, actor Nagarjuna, shared photos of the newly engaged couple, making their relationship official. The announcement came as a surprise to many, as the couple had managed to keep their romance out of the public eye.
Shobhita’s Heartfelt Engagement Post:
On August 9, Shobhita took to social media to share a series of engagement photos with Naga Chaitanya, along with a poetic caption. The first of the four photos is a black-and-white image showing the couple sitting on a swing, captured from behind. In another photo, the couple is seen smiling, with Shobhita resting her hands on Naga’s arms. The third image captures a candid moment where Shobhita is laughing, while Naga smiles behind her. The final photo shows the couple in a loving embrace, with Shobhita’s hands resting on Naga’s shoulders.
Alongside these intimate photos, Shobhita wrote, “What relation can my mother have with you? What relation can my father have with you? And how did I meet her? Whatever it is, our hearts are like red soil and heavy rain in love, which mixed together.” This poetic caption drew a range of reactions, with many of Samantha’s fans taking to the comments to express their disappointment.
Backlash from Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s Fans:
Samantha Ruth Prabhu, a beloved actress, was married to Naga Chaitanya in 2017. The couple had been together for six years before tying the knot in a grand ceremony. Their marriage was seen as a fairytale, but it came to an end in 2021 when the couple announced their divorce. Following their separation, rumors of Naga Chaitanya’s relationship with Shobhita began to circulate, but were dismissed as baseless at the time.
Now, with the engagement confirmed, Samantha’s fans have not held back their criticism of Shobhita. Many have accused her of being a “home breaker,” blaming her for the breakup of Samantha and Naga’s marriage. Comments such as, “Chaitanya lost the diamond while searching for gold,” and “Karma will definitely answer you,” have flooded Shobhita’s social media posts.
One particularly harsh comment read, “Shobhita talks about feminism and stole someone else’s husband to build her own house.” Another user wrote, “I just pray that you have a daughter and she goes through the same pain that you have given to Samantha.” These reactions highlight the intense emotions surrounding this engagement, with many fans feeling deeply loyal to Samantha.
Ongoing Criticism of Shobhita:
The backlash against Shobhita has been relentless, with Samantha’s fans continuing to voice their disapproval. The actress has been heavily trolled on social media, with many users questioning her character and her role in Naga Chaitanya’s life. Some have even gone as far as to predict that Shobhita will face similar hardships in the future, reflecting the deep emotional investment that fans have in Samantha and Naga’s past relationship.
As Shobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya celebrate their engagement, the shadow of Naga’s previous marriage to Samantha Ruth Prabhu looms large. The backlash from Samantha’s fans underscores the complexity of public relationships in the spotlight, where personal decisions often become the subject of intense public scrutiny.
