The feeling of being madly in love with someone and getting married to them is one of the purest emotions that can’t be put in words. And the happiness doubles when you marry your best friend as there is always an unsaid comfort zone. While many celebrity couples have made us believe in the magic of love but Tollywood’s power couple, Samantha Akkineni and Naga Chaitanya have outlived everyone and have redefined the entire meaning of love. The spark they have is unmatchable and one look at them makes us fall madly in love with them.
Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Akkineni’s love story is no less than a fairytale. The duo had met each other on the sets of Yeh Maaya Chesave in 2009. They had dated for a while and had tied the knot on October 6, 2017 in a dreamy wedding. The couple had first gotten married according to typical South Indian ritual and later in a Christian wedding. They are the perfect exemplars of opposites attract as Samantha is known for her bindaas attitude and an avid social media user, whereas her husband, Chay is completely opposite to her and likes to keep his personal life out of media glares. But together they make for a perfect team. Also Checkout: Disha Vakani To Dilip Joshi: Meet Real-Life Families Of The Cast Of 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma'
We recently stumbled upon an old video of Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Akkineni from Venkatesh Daggubati’s daughter, Aashritha Daggubati’s wedding reception. In the video, Samantha was seen trying her hand in arm wrestling and it was her doting husband, Naga who had cheered the loudest for his wife. In the video, actor, Rana Daggubati was also seen cheering for his best friend, Samantha. The adorable video has made our hearts skip a beat.
Do you know that it had taken 8 long years for Naga and Samantha to confess their feelings for each other? Talking about the same, Samantha had once stated in a media interaction that the time was never right in their case. When she had really liked him, he was not in the right space and when he had started responding positively, something or other happened. She had retorted that it had taken them 8 years to come on the same page. But when they had, all the fans of Chay and Sam couldn’t hide their happiness.

Samantha had said that they do all the regular day-to-day activities just like normal couples.

In an interaction with Famously Filmfare, Naga had said that he felt so blessed to be married to Samantha and had shared, "I think there was a point when we both were single. We hung out more than normal. So, automatically things started building between us. I was also mentally looking to settle down. I always looked forward to having a family. So, all those thoughts started flowing in my head and she was right there in front of me. So, I was like she is a known devil (chuckles). I know all her mischief and I am fine with them."
Adding further, Naga Chaitanya had also revealed why it is better to marry a best friend and had stated, "They say it is the best thing to marry your best friend. I believe if personal life is balanced, work, money and everything else just fall into place. That is my religion. My biggest priority is to keep that balance at home. My wife should be happy. My family should be happy. If I see a smile on their face, I can go to work happily and make money."
Samantha Akkineni, who is an ardent social media user keeps on posting pictures on her social media handle. She had won the Best Actress award for her movie, Super Deluxe at Zee Cine Awards Tamil 2020. For the awards, Samantha had opted for a powder pink-coloured saree and had paired it with earrings and had kept her makeup minimal. She had taken to her Instagram handle and had posted various pictures in the same look. While scrolling through her pictures, the one picture that caught our attention was the one in which she had flaunted her tattoo dedicated to hubby, Naga Chaitanya. Samantha’s tattoo read ‘Chay.’ (Also Read: The Alleged Love Affairs Of Bollywood's 'Queen' Kangana Ranaut That Lead To Controversies)
