Suspense crime, Digital Desk : A rare, unseen photograph from a high-profile but ultimately ill-fated Tollywood event has sent social media into a frenzy. The picture captures a handshake between superstar Mahesh Babu and a then-emerging actress, Sobhita Dhulipala, at the 2017 engagement reception of Akhil Akkineni and Shriya Bhupal.
The photo, which recently resurfaced on Reddit, has gone viral for several reasons. It offers a fascinating glimpse into a major social event in the Telugu film industry that has since become a piece of industry lore, as the wedding between Akhil and Shriya was later called off.
In the picture, a radiant Sobhita, dressed in a striking red saree, can be seen warmly greeting a dapper Mahesh Babu. For fans, the image is a striking time capsule. It captures Sobhita years before she skyrocketed to mainstream fame with breakout roles in projects like Amazon Prime's Made in Heaven and Mani Ratnam's magnum opus, Ponniyin Selvan.
The photo has sparked a wave of nostalgia and discussion among fans. Many are commenting on Sobhita's incredible journey from that moment to becoming a nationally recognized star. The context is made even more intriguing for celebrity watchers due to Sobhita's subsequent rumored relationship with Akhil's brother, actor Naga Chaitanya.
This single, frozen moment serves as more than just a throwback; it's a snapshot of the ever-changing dynamics, rising stars, and interconnected world of the Indian film industry.
