The Good news is that Samantha Ruth Prabhu will be getting married to Naga Chaitanya in October 2017.

Chaitanya was quoted as saying “We will announce the full details once everything is finalized. But the marriage will take place in October as per our traditions and her family traditions.”

In one of his interviews, Chaitanya said “Yes, our wedding is on October 6. We didn’t get a chance to announce the date as it was revealed on stage at an awards function.”

As for the wedding details, it is going to be a destination wedding in Goa (though the two of them are confused about the venue).

It goes without saying that the wedding is going to be lavish.

As for Samantha’s professional commitments after marriage, Chaitanya says “Whether she chooses to do one film or ten is entirely her choice. But she will continue with her career after marriage.”

Naga Chaitanya – in an interview to news agency IANS – said that he ‘enjoys’ being asked about his wedding plans and fiancee Samantha. “Wherever I go, I’m asked about my marriage. I believe this phase, where people constantly want to know about my marriage, it won’t last long. Let me enjoy while it lasts,” he said.
