On Father’s Day 2024, Naga Chaitanya warmed the hearts of fans by sharing a touching childhood photo with his father, the legendary south superstar Nagarjuna. The nostalgic image captures a young Naga Chaitanya perched on his father’s shoulders, symbolizing the deep bond they share. In the caption, Chaitanya simply wrote, “The OG,” a term of endearment and respect for his father.
The post quickly garnered attention and praise from many of Naga Chaitanya’s industry friends and colleagues. Among the notable reactions was that of actress Tabu, who was once rumored to be in a relationship with Nagarjuna. Although she refrained from writing a comment, she expressed her affection by dropping red heart emojis, which did not go unnoticed by fans.
Tabu’s professional life has often been the subject of media buzz, and her personal life has been equally scrutinized, especially her alleged relationship with Nagarjuna. Rumors have long suggested that Tabu and Nagarjuna were in love for a decade and even lived together, though they never married. However, Tabu has consistently denied these rumors.
In an episode of “Koffee with Karan,” hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar, Tabu addressed these speculations. When asked if the rumors were true and if she had moved to Hyderabad for Nagarjuna, she clarified, “Not because of him. It is because I made a house for myself there and because I belong to Hyderabad.” She added that the media often tries to create an image of her as someone who, despite having many boyfriends, still loves Nagarjuna. She described him as “one of the closest people” in her life, emphasizing that their relationship is very important to her.
Tabu further revealed that Nagarjuna is “very dear” to her and that nothing could ever change their special bond. This candid revelation added another layer to the public’s understanding of their relationship, which has been a topic of intrigue for years.
Naga Chaitanya, Nagarjuna’s son, has also spoken about his connection with Tabu. In a 2022 interview with Bollywood Bubble while promoting “Laal Singh Chaddha,” Chaitanya mentioned that he had bonded significantly with Tabu. “Bonded? Not much. Of course, maximum bonding is with Aamir sir. Tabu, a lot of bonding with her,” he said, highlighting the close relationship he shares with the actress.
The Father’s Day post by Naga Chaitanya not only celebrated his bond with his father but also brought to light the enduring connections within the film industry. The heartfelt reactions from colleagues and friends, including Tabu, underscore the deep respect and affection that exists among these stars.
As fans continue to admire the father-son duo of Nagarjuna and Naga Chaitanya, the post serves as a reminder of the strong familial ties that often underpin the glamorous world of cinema. The image of young Chaitanya on his father’s shoulders is a poignant symbol of love, support, and the timeless bond between a father and his son.
