Samantha and Naga Chaitanya have been the apple of the eye to the Kollywood and Tollywood fans for a very long time and their engagement was one of the most awaited in 2016. The couple are finally getting engaged in 2017 says a source close to the couple. The couple will be kickstarting the year together post their official engagement on January 29, 2017.

“The marriage will happen in the later part of 2017 sometime in the final months next year. We haven’t fixed a wedding date. We’re getting engaged shortly. My younger brother Akhil is getting married first,” said Chaitanya. His younger brother Akhil Akkineni got engaged to his girlfriend Shriya Bhupal recently and now the elder brother seems to be getting ready for his engagement.

When the Akkineni family surprised everyone with Akhil’s engagement before Chaitanya’s engagement, Samantha and Chaitanya were busy with their projects and now the couple have made way for their official engagement. Unlike many celebrity couples, these love birds were never hesitant about their relationship in the public. Samantha once said that she can’t live without Chaitanya.
