Rumours of Sobhita and Naga's relationship stared doing the rounds when their vacation pictures from Europe went viral in 2022. Following that, they were captured together a couple of times by the paparazzi. For the engagement, Sobhita wore a peach-coloured Manish Malhotra saree. Sharing details of her saree, the designer wrote, "Draped in a medley of textile specially sourced from the weaving communities of Andhra Pradesh, Sobhita was keen that this personal moment reflect her roots as well as pay homage to its rich traditions. She is wearing Uppada silk (from the region Uppada, Andhra Pradesh) in the golden blush colour of the Kanakaambaram, a traditional temple flower commonly worn in the hair by Telugu women as well as the eternal Padmam (lotus) The silhouette, referenced from paintings of iconic Telugu artist 'Bapu' - is a derivation of the classic half-saree style worn by young women of South India."
