Overview
- Naga Chaitanya posted unseen photos on Instagram and wrote “Happy birthday my lady. Grateful I get to do life with you” on May 31, 2026, and Sobhita replied with a comment that revealed his nickname.
- The Instagram album gave fans a rare personal glimpse of the couple and prompted an outpouring of birthday wishes across social media.
- Chaitanya filed a petition in the Delhi High Court seeking protection of his personality rights and an interim order, and Justice Jyoti Singh’s bench on May 29 issued a temporary restraint on unauthorised use of his name and images and sent notices to websites.
- Sobhita told Galatta Plus she is “comfortable to sit amidst polarising views” and said public attention has not changed how she lives, framing their use of social media as a way to manage scrutiny.
- Both actors remain professionally active, with Sobhita credited for Cheekatilo and set for Pa Ranjith’s Vettuvam and Chaitanya preparing for Vrushakarma, so legal and public attention could affect ongoing publicity for their projects.
