Sobhita to make adjustments for her family?

After her engagement, the Raman Raghav 2.0 actress has been travelling to and fro between Hyderabad and Mumbai to be her fiance and his family. A report in M9 News has claimed that Sobhita is now turning down glamour and lifestyle photoshoot opportunities. After Sobhita’s engagement with Naga Chaitanya, a few of her bold photoshoots went viral on social media, sparking speculation that her acting career might soon come to an end due to the conservative Akkineni family. However, it seems like Sobhita's decision to say no to certain offers is her own choice.
