Even before their December 4 wedding, Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala’s relationship had already drawn a lot of criticism. Actress Samantha, his ex-wife whom he married in 2017, received a lot of support from fans. Online, Sobhita in particular received a lot of hate mail from individuals who either felt sorry for Samantha or expressed disapproval of her connection with Chaitanya. Following a piece about Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita in The New York Times, which Sobhita posted on social media, the situation deteriorated. This simply served to increase the response and provide the public with more grounds for criticism of the pair.
