Is Sobhita Dhulipala expecting her first baby with Naga Chaitanya? Father-in-law Nagarjuna says, 'I’ll let you know when the time is right'

Speculation around Sobhita Dhulipala’s pregnancy has once again picked up momentum, with reports suggesting that the actor may be expecting her first child with husband Naga Chaitanya. While the couple has chosen to remain silent on the matter, it is Naga Chaitanya’s father, veteran actor Nagarjuna, whose recent reaction has caught public attention and fueled further curiosity.

Nagarjuna was recently approached by a reporter from Suman TV and asked directly about the swirling pregnancy rumours. When quizzed about whether he was set to be promoted from father to grandfather, the actor paused briefly, laughed, and attempted to sidestep the question. Pressed again, Nagarjuna offered a carefully worded response that neither confirmed nor denied the speculation. “I’ll let you know when the time is right,” he said. Though the statement stopped short of an announcement, fans were quick to read between the lines, with congratulatory messages flooding social media soon after.

Much like their relationship in its early days, Sobhita and Naga Chaitanya have maintained a notably private stance amid the rumours. The couple has not issued any statement or made public appearances addressing the speculation, staying consistent with their preference for keeping personal milestones away from the spotlight.

Interestingly, their love story itself began quietly. Naga Chaitanya had earlier revealed that their first interaction did not happen on a film set or through mutual friends, but on Instagram. Sobhita reportedly reacted to one of his posts with an emoji, sparking a casual online conversation that eventually grew into something deeper.

Their first in-person meetings are said to have taken place in 2022, following Naga Chaitanya’s separation from his former wife, actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The couple dated discreetly for nearly two years, avoiding public appearances together. Despite their efforts, fans picked up on subtle hints, including vacation photos from similar European locations and overlapping social media posts.

The rumours were finally put to rest in August 2024, when the couple got engaged in an intimate ceremony in Hyderabad. Nagarjuna announced the engagement himself, expressing his happiness at welcoming Sobhita into the family. The wedding followed on December 4, 2024, with a private ceremony held at Annapurna Studios, attended by close friends and family.

Since their marriage, Sobhita and Naga Chaitanya have been seen celebrating festivals together and speaking occasionally about adjusting to married life alongside their professional commitments. For now, however, the pregnancy rumours remain just that, with fans waiting for an official word from the family.
