From being best friends to lovers, Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu have come a long way.Telugu actors Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya’s wedding has been the talk of the town for a while now. The happy couple, who are in the midst of their wedding celebrations, have always made their fans’ hearts melt with their adorable pictures on social media.

If you didn’t know about Chai-Sam (as their fans call them), and their love story, we’ll clue you in:
The two met on the sets of the hit movie Yeh Maaya Chesave (2009). Their camaraderie translated into sizzling on-screen chemistry. However, the two didn’t get into a relationship as Chaitanya was in a relationship with Shruti Haasan, while Samantha was dating Siddharth. Chai became single in 2013 and Sam, a while later.

-It is believed that sparks flew between them during the making of Autonagar Surya (2014). In 2015, some cute Twitter flirting started happening. Sam typed an adorable birthday message for Chaitanya and posted it on Twitter. She wrote, “Happy birthday to my favourite person. Forever and Always. A great year it’s going to be.” He replied, calling her “paapa” (his special nickname for her), and thanked her. This is when the murmurs about a possible relationship between the two started.
– Later that year, there was a strong buzz after the two were often spotted together in public.
– Later in 2015, Chai’s father, Nagarjuna, confessed that his son had found someone. Fans were more or less sure that it was Samantha. It was only a matter of time before the two admitted to being in a relationship.
– In May 2016, they were seen stepping out from a multiplex after watch the actress’s film, AAA. Yet, they didn’t confirm their relationship. It was them attending a wedding together in August 2016 that convinced everyone that they were a couple.
– In September 2016, Samantha finally confessed that she’s dating Naga Chaitanya, but added that they weren’t planning to get married anytime soon.
– In December 2016, they took a vacation by the beach. Naga Chaitanya proposed, and pictures from their romantic vacation flooded Samantha’s Instagram page.

– And then tada! Sam and Chai got engaged earlier this year, on January 29, in a picturesque ceremony. They revealed that they had been dating since November 2015.

– The first person Chai told about his relationship was, his father, Nargarjuna. “The minute he heard the news, he looked at me and said, ‘You’re telling me this now, but I’ve known all along’. Our families have been supportive and everyone is happy,” said Chaitanya, earlier in an interview to Newindianexpress.com.
