We're all friends

Chaitanya is Nagarjuna's son from his first marriage. Tabu is also friends with Nagarjuna's wife Amla and recently, the pair was spotted shopping in a Hyderabad mall.u00a0

A source reveals, "Nag and Tabu are good friends, although there were rumours of an affair between them, she squashed them when she became friends with his wife Amla. Whenever Tabu is in Hyderabad at her bungalow, she invites Amla and Nagarjuna for dinner and they hang out together."

Nagarjuna has two sons Naga Chaitanya (22) from his first marriage and Akhil from Amla. Tabu is close to both of them but is particularly fond of Chaitanya. "She treats Chaitanya like her own son. He's making his debut in a Telugu film produced under his dad's banner Vaishno Academy. The film will be directed by Puri Jagannadh."

'Tip'ster

Tabu is keenly following Chaitanya's Telugu film debut and is giving him tips. "She was instrumental in convincing him to make his debut. She often teases him that he's good-looking and will give Bollywood actors a run for their money when he comes to Mumbai."
