As fans celebrate the couple’s new chapter, let’s take a look back at the subtle hints and moments that hinted at their blossoming relationship, long before it was confirmed.
A cozy meal in London
One of the first signs of Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala’s relationship emerged when the two were spotted together in London. In February 2024, a viral photo shared by Chef Surender Mohan from the renowned Jamavar restaurant caught everyone’s attention. The picture showed Chay posing with the chef, but eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed Sobhita in the background, seated at the same table as the actor. This seemingly innocuous dinner date was one of the earliest public hints of their relationship.
Strolling the streets of London
Further fueling speculation, another image from their London visit surfaced online. A fan captured Chaitanya and Sobhita walking together through the city’s streets. Both were dressed in matching black puffer jackets, with Sobhita appearing slightly shy in the presence of the actor. This candid moment added more weight to the rumors that the two were more than just friends.
A shared love for ‘Greenlights’
In September 2023, Sobhita posted a snapshot on Instagram of her current read, ‘Greenlights’ by Matthew McConaughey, praising it as one of the best books she had ever read. However, fans quickly made a connection to an earlier post by Naga Chaitanya, who had also shared his admiration for the same book. The timing and similarity of these posts led netizens to speculate that the book might have been a gift from Chay to Sobhita, further hinting at their close relationship.
Wildlife safari adventures
In April 2024, both Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita shared solo photos from what appeared to be a wildlife safari. Although they posted their pictures on separate days, fans were quick to notice the striking similarity in the backgrounds of the images. This led to widespread speculation that the duo had enjoyed a safari trip together, although they opted to keep it under wraps by not appearing in the same photo.
Wine tasting in Europe
The most recent and perhaps most telling hint came from their European getaway. A photo of Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita enjoying a wine-tasting experience together went viral on the internet. The picture, which showed the two actors standing among other tourists and listening intently to the guide, was a clear indication that they were spending quality time together. Despite being in a public setting, the couple managed to blend in, keeping their relationship low-key while still sparking curiosity among fans.
