Now, the Brahmastra: Part One - Shiva actor has revealed the reason behind Chaitanya and Sobhita's 'hurried engagement.' He shared that their wedding date hasn't been fixed yet. Nagarjuna also stated that the engagement was a close-knit affair with only close family members in attendance.

Talking to Times Now, when the superstar was asked about his son's wedding date, he said, "Not immediately. Like I told you, we chose to have a hurried engagement because it was an auspicious day, and since Chay and Sobhita are very sure that they want to marry, we said, Let’s do it. We chose this day because it is very auspicious. Both families consulted the Nakshatras, and when we were told August 8 was a very auspicious day, we decided to go ahead with it."

Sharing details about their enagement, Nagarjuna added, "Only the immediate family was there. Sobhita’s parents and sister. Chay’s mother was there, of course. My wife, Amala, was there. That’s it." Nicknamed Chay, Naga Chaitanya's mother is Nagarjuna's first wife Lakshmi Daggubati. Lakshmi and Nagarjuna tied the knot with each other in 1984 and remained married for six years until their divorce in 1990. In 1992, Nagarjuna married Amala Akkineni.
