Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala’s recent engagement is part of a long list of several high-profile celebrity weddings that have caught the fancy of the country over the last 18-24 months. Everything from the exotic locations where the weddings are held to the guest list to the attire worn by celebs attracts immense attention. The recent engagement has also garnered a lot of attention for the fact that this was Naga Chaitanya’s second wedding after his much-publicised marriage and divorce with actor, Samantha Ruth Prabhu. While this dynamic should never have been a talking point, such are the times we live in.
In fact, this dynamic gained so much prominence that Samantha’s fans started trolling coverage of the engagement. One aspect here does need mentioning though. Unfortunately, when a marriage ends, women still end up bearing the brunt of the criticism. The disintegration of the marriage is often deemed the woman’s fault. Of course, that points to the inherent misogyny and patriarchy that still exists in our societies. Women’s financial independence is another debate altogether.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s net worth
Speaking about women’s financial independence, a lot of reports have recently been doing the rounds about the net worths of all three concerned personalities. At the outset, let us clarify that the net worth of an individual is no reflection of the person’s abilities or talents. But, in the commercialised world we live in, fans sure love to know every last detail about their favourite celebrities’ financial dealings. In this context, if we look at Samantha’s net worth, it isn’t just impressive, it is staggering.
She is believed to charge 3-5 crores per film, putting her at par with several leading male actors. And that’s not all. Brand endorsements guarantee another 8 crores to her kitty. Not surprisingly, Samsung, Drools, Tommy Hilfiger, and ICICI Bank are only some of the organisations that have courted her star power. She lives in a duplex apartment valued at around 8 crores. Her other apartment is a luxurious sea-facing 3BHK that is worth 15 crores, including some top automobiles worth around 1 crore. All told, Samantha Ruth Prabhu is worth 101 crores as per various sources.
The net worth of the newlywed couple
Naga Chaitanya’s reported net worth is 154 crores. So, that’s a mere 53 crore difference. Let us stress on the ‘mere’ part. For someone who came from the outside and carved a niche for herself, Samantha’s achievements are truly commendable. Another proverbial outsider in the industry, Sobhita Dhulipala has a reported net worth that is in the range of 7-10 crores. It might seem minuscule compared to that of Samantha. But, let us not forget that Sobhita entered the entertainment industry much later and still has a lot of time to catch up. Most importantly, let us reiterate the fact that net worth does not define the person. The person defines the person.
