We had earlier reported about both, Akhil being in love with a city based designer and Naga Chaitanya and Samantha are going strong in their relationship. Well, now it has emerged that everything is taking a serious turn. A leading English daily reports that Sam and Chai are likely to be engaged soon while no date is mentioned, it is indicated that it is likely to happen by the end of the year. It is learned that the ceremony will take place after Chai raps up work on Premam.

Meanwhile, it seems Akhil’s girlfriend is none other than citybased designer Shalini Bhupal’s daughter, Shriya Bhupal! With so much happening in the family both in the personal and professional front, it definitely is a great time for the Akkineni family.
