Are Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala Expecting First Baby? Nagarjuna’s Teasing Reply Sparks Global Buzz

Speculation about Sobhita’s pregnancy began circulating after the couple recently celebrated their first wedding anniversary on December 4, 2025. Observant fans and netizens pointed to Sobhita's recent public appearances in loose, "anti-fit" ethnic wear as a sign of a burgeoning baby bump. While the couple has maintained a dignified silence, the spotlight shifted to Chaitanya’s father, Nagarjuna, during a recent media interaction.

Nagarjuna’s "Mysterious" Reaction

During a chat with Suman TV, Nagarjuna was directly asked if he was ready for a "promotion" from being a father to becoming a grandfather.

  • The Hesitation: Initially, the actor was caught off guard, pausing for a moment before laughing off the question awkwardly.
  • The Statement: When pressed further about the rumors flooding social media, Nagarjuna smiled and replied, "I'll let you know when the time is right."
  • The Aftermath: While not a formal confirmation, the "wait and see" nature of his reply has led fans to "read between the lines." Social media platforms have already been flooded with congratulatory messages for the Akkineni family.

A Year of Milestones

It has been an eventful year for the family. Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita married in an intimate ceremony at Annapurna Studios last year after keeping their relationship private for nearly two years. Interestingly, the pregnancy rumors coincide with news of Chaitanya's former wife, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, also starting a new chapter; she recently married filmmaker Raj Nidimoru in a low-key ceremony on December 1 in Coimbatore.

Professional Front

Despite the personal buzz, the couple remains busy with their careers.

  • Sobhita Dhulipala continues to earn accolades for her fashion-forward choices and recent projects like Love Sitara.
  • Naga Chaitanya is currently focused on the filming of his high-octane project Vrushakarma after the success of Thandel.
