Sobhita Dhulipala Missing From Akkineni Family's Picture Perfect Moment At ANR Centenary Event

Akkineni Nageswara Rao Centenary: Honouring legendary screen icon ANR on his 100th birth anniversary, the King of the Silver Screen film festival was organised. The event was launched at a grand ceremony in Hyderabad on Friday with ANR's family in full attendance including the superstar Akkineni Nagarjuna and his sons Naga Chaitanya and Akhil Akkineni, Sumanth, Sushanth, and several other relatives.

However, Sobhita Dhulipala was missing from the event, leading to conjecture about her absence after her engagement to Naga Chaitanya.

While the whole Akkineni family was captured in a single frame, the to-be daughter-in-law Sobhita's absence was noticeable. Earlier, speculations were rife that the Akkineni family was unhappy with Naga Chaitanya getting engaged to The Night Manager actress in a short span after his divorce from Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Later, it was reported that the family members, except Chay's mom and Nagarjuna's ex-wife Lakshmi Daggubati was present at their engagement.

Meanwhile, contradictory reports suggested that all was well within the Akkineni family and a get-together was attended by all members post Sobhita and Naga Chaitanya's engagement. Amid swirling rumours, Sobhita's absence from a big family event has become a talking point for netizens.

What's the truth behind Sobhita missing ANR centenary celebrations?

According to media reports, Nagarjuna deliberately kept Sobhita away from the family event so that the spotlight does not shift to her, at least until she gets married to Naga Chaitanya.

Meanwhile, on the same day as the launch of the King of the Silver Screen film festival in Hyderabad, Sobhita was snapped in Mumbai attending the promotions of her upcoming film Love, Sitara. It could very well be that work commitments kept her busy and away from the grand family gathering.
