Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita got married in December 2024, and since then, they have been grabbing headlines. The newlywed couple has been trolled mercilessly on several occasions. However, that didn't stop them from standing by each other during testing times.
Nagarjuna and his family met PM Modi
On Friday, Nagarjuna, his wife Amala Akkineni, their son Naga Chaitanya, and daughter-in-law Sobhita Dhulipala met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Parliament House.
Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni met Prime Minister Modi to celebrate 50 years of Annapurna Studios, a renowned film production company founded by Nagarjuna's father, Akkineni Nageswara Rao. The meeting highlighted the studio's contributions to Indian cinema over the decades.
The family presented PM Modi with the book Akkineni Ka Virat Vyaktitva by Padma Bhushan awardee Dr. Yarlagadda Lakshmi Prasad, a tribute to Nagarjuna's father, Akkineni Nageswara Rao.
Taking to Instagram, Sobhita and Naga Chaitanya shared a joint post featuring them, along with their family members, posing for photos with PM Modi. In one of the pictures, Sobhita was seen presenting the Prime Minister with Kondapalli Bommalu (dancing dolls), while Naga Chaitanya stood beside her.

A user wrote, "Copied Kapoor's plan.."
Another user wrote, "Stop using your pioneer's fame to hide your disaster life what kind of showoff is this?"
