Following their divorce, they continued to co-parent Hash.Since parting ways, Chaitanya began dating actress Sobhita Dhulipala in 2022. The couple got married in a private ceremony at the Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad on December 4, 2024.

I'm totally enjoying it. It's just been a couple of months. I think we both invest equally in work and away from work; so, we have that work-life balance very much intact. I think that's one of the qualities we both really connected on also.'He also highlighted the cultural connection between him and Sobhita, saying, 'You know, we are both from Andhra. She is from Vizag and I love Vizag. Our roots are similar though we are not from the same cities and so, culturally, there was a lot of connect. And, obviously, the love for cinema, the love for this art form. I think both of us are just so curious about life, which got us going. Many conversations sort of started around that for us. And we love travelling as well."Professionally, Naga Chaitanya was last seen in Thandel, co-starring Sai Pallavi. During the trailer launch in Vizag, he shared a heartfelt moment about his wife's roots, stating, 'Vizag is so close to my heart that I fell in love with a Vizag girl and married her. Now, there's a piece of Vizag in my home too. Even in my household, the ruling party is Vizag. So, brothers, I have a small request—Thandel should rock Vizag's box office; otherwise, I'll lose my honour at home. Please!"Meanwhile, Samantha Ruth Prabhu is preparing for her upcoming role in Raj & DK's Netflix web series Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom, continuing her successful journey in the entertainment industry.

Forest officials inspect Mannat annexe after CRZ violation complaint
MUMBAI: A team of forest department officers, accompanied by officials from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) H-West ward, visited the sea-facing Mannat Annexe in Bandra West on Friday following a complaint alleging Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) violations. Mumbai, India. June 20, 2025. BMC and forest department officials visited Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan's Mannat bungalow on Friday, June 20, 2025, to conduct an inspection. Renovations have begun at Shah Rukh Khan's iconic sea-facing home, Mannat. Mumbai, India. June 20, 2025. (Photo by Raju Shinde/HT Photo) (Hindustan Times) The inspection was prompted by RTI activist Santosh Daundkar, who raised concerns over proposed construction at the property, which stands behind Mannat, the iconic residence of actor Shah Rukh Khan. 'The existing structure has six floors. The proposal is to add two more,' said forest guard Mahesh Sawant. 'We have asked the owners to submit relevant documents. Since no construction has begun yet, the question of a violation does not arise at this stage.' The annexe — a modern six-storey structure with two basement levels — serves as the Khan family's main residence, adjacent to the original colonial-style bungalow built in 1914, a Grade III heritage building. The entire property spans over 2,091.38 square metres and overlooks the Arabian Sea. According to official documents accessed by Hindustan Times, Gauri Khan filed an application on November 9, 2023, with the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA), seeking permission to construct the seventh and eighth floors atop the existing annexe. The estimated cost of the project is ₹ 25 crore. In his complaint, Daundkar alleged that the expansion plan violates CRZ norms, as the property is located in an ecologically sensitive area near the coast and falls within the 'hazard line' demarcated by the Survey of India. He also flagged the heritage status of the site. The forest department has initiated a preliminary inquiry and will submit a report based on the documentation provided by the owners.
