In the interview, Naga Chaitanya opened up about how their relationship started and the bond they share over their Telugu roots. He shared that despite being born in Hyderabad, he spent most of his childhood in Chennai, where he learned Tamil. However, he explained how speaking Telugu brings a special warmth to their relationship, saying, “In our industry we meet a variety of people from different languages. Just hearing that same texture (Telugu) and having that same warmth when you speak to someone - I think it just drew me closer so much faster. I keep telling her to keep talking to me in Telugu so I can improve.” The actor also added, “With actors, sometimes we are trying to put something out there about our films or something about a product - most of it is staged in a way. So when something pops up that's very organic and real about a person, I immediately gravitate to that kind of content.” Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala Visit Sri Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Swamy Temple After Wedding (View Pic).
