On Screen Magic to Real Life Romance.
Naga Chaitanya’s first kiss was with Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the Telugu film ‘Ye Maya Chesave.’ The movie was a romantic drama and the chemistry between the lead actors was undeniable. The love story not only touched the hearts of the audience but also led to a real-life relationship between Naga Chaitanya and Samantha. The couple met on the sets of their film ‘Ye Maaye Chesave’ in 2010, where they were co-stars. Initially, they were just friends, but as they spent more time together, they grew closer. Naga Chaitanya said “We were best friends from the making time of the film. In fact, Samantha is the co-star who is still my favorite and will remain so forever.”
Their chemistry sizzled onscreen, and the pair began dating in real life. Their romance bloomed both on and off camera as they appeared in various films together. However, they kept their relationship private and did not confirm their status as a couple until they got engaged in January 2017. Their love story was a fairy tale come true, and they tied the knot on October 6, 2017, in a grand wedding ceremony. Their wedding was attended by their close family and friends, and their love for each other was evident to everyone present at the ceremony. Naga Chaitanya and Samantha have since then appeared in numerous films together and have become one of the most beloved couples in the Telugu film industry. Their love story is an excellent example of how true love can be more than just reel life romance.
