Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita jointly shared a series of unseen photos from their engagement on Instagram on Friday, accompanied by a poetic caption featuring verses from the Kurunthogai, translated by A.K. Ramanujan: “What could my mother be to yours? What kin is my father to yours anyway? And how did you and I meet ever? But in love, our hearts are as red earth and pouring rain: mingled beyond parting.”
Despite the couple’s heartfelt post, the comments section has been boombarded with mentions of Samantha. Fans have flooded the post with her name, with many expressing support for the actress. Comments like “We are with you Samantha” and “Stay strong Samantha” have become common, with some even suggesting that Chaitanya has lost a gem.
