Actor Naga Chaitanya took to Instagram on Friday to share a picture of wife Sobhita Dhulipala cooking dinner for him. It was a special occasion for the actor as it was the first time she had cooked for him, after almost two years of getting married!
Sobhita cooks for Chaitanya
In the picture, Sobhita was seen holding two bowls, which seemed to have rice and veggies. Sobhita was seen smiling, dressed in casuals. In the caption, he said, “Wifey cooks dinner for me close to 2 years after getting married … I possibly did something right today.” Sobhita have a hilarious reply in the comments, “Are you trolling me or praising me 🤨”
Last year, Sobhita had posted numerous pictures and videos of her cooking on set. One video showed her approving of the sambar or dal she had just made, while another shows her chopping up some okra. Sobhita even brought out a traditional mortar and pestle to grind up some spices, and one funny picture shows her threatening to throw a coconut. Sharing the picture, Sobhita wrote, “#basichumanskills #lol #IYKYK #BTS #SetLife,” referring to Chaitanya’s comment on her. He cheekily replied, “Waiting to get a taste of these skills.”
When Chaitanya commented on Sobhita’s lack of basic skills
In March 2025, Chaitanya and Sobhita spoke to Vogue India about their cooking skills. When asked who is the better cook and what is their go-to dish, Chaitanya replied that neither of them is a cook. When Sobhita said that Chaitanya makes her hot chocolate every night, he replied, “That doesn’t come under cooking as such. Hot chocolate, coffee, all these aren’t cooking. It’s basic human skills that you don’t have.” Which is why some comments under her latest post had people asking, “Cooking vacha akka? (Can you cook, sister?)” and calling her vegetable chopping skills ‘dope’.
