When Amala Akkineni married Akkineni Nagarjuna, she became the stepmother to his six-year-old son, Naga Chaitanya. Over the years, she has shown the same love and care for him as she does for her own son, Akhil. From family celebrations to their weddings, Amala has always been at the forefront—clicking pictures, laughing, and cherishing every moment. Fans have long admired the warmth and affection she shows toward her stepson.
In a recent interview, Amala opened up about how her bond with Chaitanya strengthened over time. “Chaitanya was a young man when I really got to know him,” she said. She explained that the connection grew stronger after he moved from Chennai to Hyderabad for college. “I was in touch before, of course, but I truly got to know him when he came to Hyderabad,” she added.
Describing him as grounded and mature, Amala said, “He’s a lovely human being—very responsible, with a maturity beyond his age. He has always listened to his father and followed his own thoughts and plans. He never really went wrong.” Her words clearly reflect the pride and affection she feels for him.
On the professional front, Naga Chaitanya is gearing up for Vrushakarma, an action-packed thriller, with its first look poster already generating buzz. Meanwhile, younger brother Akhil is working on Lenin, directed by Murali Kishore Abburu. The entire family is keeping busy, with Nagarjuna also engaged in his milestone project, NAG100, though the final title is yet to be confirmed.
