 "Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Naga Chaitanya won't confirm real romance. Here's their reel one")
All through Wednesday (29 June), rumours that Telugu stars Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu were engaged kept them on top of fans’ Google search keywords.
While the star pair has refused to either confirm or deny the speculation about their relationship status, we couldn’t help but put together this little compilation that shows just how good they do look together!
Remember when for many months in 2010, Karthik and Jessie were etched in our minds? Yes, we are talking about Samantha and Naga Chaitanya’s effortless chemistry (on screen) that stole our hearts in their very first blockbuster, Ye Maye Chesave. With romantic train rides, sentimental church scenes and a love-to-die-for, as Jessie and Karthik, the two were perfect. Incidentally, both Samantha and Naga Chaitanya made their debut in the Telugu film industry with this movie.
Samantha was quite the ‘Kudanapuboma’ to Chaitanya in this film. However, unlike the movie, in which Naga Chaitanya — as Karthik — fights till the end to win the love of his life, rumours suggest that he got an easy nod from Samantha’s parents and his own father Akkineni Nagarjuna for this real-life romance.
On the subject of parents — while Manam brought together the entire Akkineni family, Samantha played wife to Naga Chaitanya. Now, as rumours of their engagement swirl, it seems like a ‘crystal-ball’ moment that she was part of the Akkineni family (even if only on screen) in 2014 itself.
The couple caught our attention with their love-hate relationship set in different eras in the movie. It was quite a treat for the stars’ fans as they witnessed them play two entirely different roles, yet keep their chemistry intact.
Then there was Autonagar Surya, which may not have had much space for a love angle, but Samantha and Naga Chaitanya still managed to infuse romance and glamour to this story. They definitely left us wanting more!
It’s been two years since we saw Samantha and Naga Chaitanya on screen — is the couple making time for some real romance, instead of a reel one?
