Actors Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala got engaged on Thursday. With the two confirming their rumoured releationship, there was a lot of opinionated chatter on social media about their relationship and Naga Chaitanya's past with Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Among the many speculations, it was said that August 8 was the same date that Samantha had proposed to Naga Chaitanya.

Contrary to these rumours, the couple’s choice of date had nothing to do with any previous relationships. Instead, they selected August 8th for its spiritual significance, aligning their engagement with the Lion’s Gate Portal, a cosmic event known for its transformative energy.
