Naga Chaitanya, a son to the legendary Telugu actor Nagarjuna, who has been said to be preparing for marriage with actress Sobhita Dhulipala, who played the role of Vanathi in Ponniyin Selvan, is all set to take the industry by storm in more ways than one. The news assumes a higher significance because of the controversy created by the astrologer Venu Swamy.
Venu Swamy, who had once predicted the separation of Naga Chaitanya from his wife, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, has once more hogged the limelight with his latest comments in the media hailing his prophecies over the personal life of the actor. Naga Chaitanya, who hailed as a scion of Telugu cinema fame, tied up the knot with Samantha after an affair that grabbed several headlines in 2017. They first met on the sets of Yeh Maaya Chesave and went on gradually growing closer over the making of Autonagar Surya. The celebrity couple announced their amicable divorce last year and since then, both have been busy in their respective careers.
Naga Chaitanya, who was recently divorced to actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu, had entered into a relationship with stunner Sobhita Dhulipala, who gathered stardom in the film Ponniyin Selvan. The couple reportedly got engaged in a private ceremony on 8 August, and the wedding is said to be on December 4.
This is amid joyous news that the astrologer Venu Swamy has caused a storm by predicting that Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita marriage might not last even till 2027. Swamy shared his prediction through an Instagram video claiming the couple was likely to face difficulties as a third party man without identifying him. His comments brought down many backlash criticizing him for insensitivity. Many flayed the ethics of making public someone’s private life and dared people to respond with outrage at his comments within the Telugu film fraternity. His comments were heavily condemned by the Telugu Cinema Journalists’ Association who stated that this invasive comment was uncalled for. A police complaint was also filed against Swamy.
With the backlash against him, Swamy removed the original video and apologized, claiming his comments are a part of previous predictions he made in regard to Chaitanya’s relationships. He clarified that he didn’t intend to cause any controversy but simply was offering his astrological insights. The apology notwithstanding, the prediction remains a hot topic, which goes to show how much public interest celebrity relationships garner and how this kind of commentary affects people’s private lives.
