CHAI AND SAM ARE NOW MAN AND WIFE!
Actress Samantha and Naga Chaitanya are believed to have tied the knot at the very same place where their love story began
Fans of Samantha and Naga Chaitanya might have to sit down for this... because the couple tied the knot last weekend, at the very same place they met and fell in love — The Brooklyn Bridge, New York.
Life seems to have come full circle for the lovebirds. Their iconic scene on the Brooklyn Bridge from their first movie together, Ye Maaya Chesave, might have stolen others’ hearts, but it seems the spot holds a very special place in their hearts too as the couple tied the knot there. While the two had to pull a lot of strings to get this elaborate set up done, sources tell us that they were planning this for more than a year.
Speaking exclusively to DC, a source close to the family said, “Chai and Sam wanted to make sure that everything was perfect. It was actually quite a huge task to keep this a secret, but they managed to do so. The two always had a special place in their hearts for the Brooklyn Bridge because that’s where they got close to each other. So when they sat down to decide where they wanted to get married, they instinctively knew it had to be there!”
However, there is hardly anyone in the industry who knows about this development. “Sam and Chaitanya wanted this to be a private affair, so none of the guests disclosed anything. No one could even tell that anything was different because the Akkinenis and Sam seemed normal at an award function held in the city recently,” says the source.
While the wedding was a close affair with only family and really close friends in attendance, the couple plans to host a huge get-together soon.
Says a source who attended the wedding, “It was a rather beautiful affair. It was a Christian wedding and Sam made the perfect bride! She wore an Elie Saab off shoulder gown with delicate lace, and her veil was simply stunning, while Chaitanya looked dapper in a Giorgio Armani suit.”
What surprised people was the fact that Chai got quite emotional when he saw Sam walk down the aisle. “He couldn’t control his happiness when he saw her walk down the aisle, and what made this entire celebration even more special was the fact that Sam was wearing a family heirloom, a diamond neckpiece, that was handed down from generations by Chai’s family,” says a source.
Talking about how they pulled off the wedding on one of the busiest bridges in the world, a source says, “Initially it was quite difficult, but they managed to do so... just as DC managed to pull the leg of their readers on April Fools’ Day with this story.”
In case you still didn’t get the hint, Happy April Fools’ Day!
