radhaon 12 Sep 2009 at 8:10 am 1is she married that vijayaraghavan
Suhasinion 02 Oct 2009 at 7:12 pm 2Yes, remarried to Sharat Raghavan, a software engineer I believe. But Naga Chaitanya seems to be her only kid.
Suhasinion 02 Oct 2009 at 7:17 pm 3Her eldest brother has 2 sons 1 daughter, Venkatesh has 3 daughters one son, and Lakshmi has one son(from first husband nagarjuna). Nice article.
saileeon 05 Nov 2009 at 4:25 am 4why did she leave nagarjuna?
Suhasinion 06 Nov 2009 at 10:59 pm 5She didnt leave nagarjuna. She remarried many years after nagarjuna did.
Keertanaon 14 Nov 2009 at 5:00 am 6No!She loved that guy ri8 b4 her 1st marriage and departed 4m Nag and stayed with him in US.Later she got married with him.This is the news I knew from a web si8
srinu.ron 14 Nov 2009 at 11:56 pm 7now she is married another person?now nagachitnaya is talking to first mother lakshmi?she loves nagachitnaya?
suhasinion 15 Nov 2009 at 7:53 pm 8But there are also stories about nag leaving her for amala. Infact drama naidu family was upset with nag for some years, but now things are normal.Amala herself gave justifications abt her affair with nag…one thing i know is that Lakshmi always lived in Madras, she has a interior decoration business in chennai…and naga chaitanya spent his childhood with his mom in madras.Also, she re-married years after her divorce.She and nag married when they were in early 20’s..
Whatever it is ,nag and lakshmi have a wonderful son. I think naga chiatanya has a very bright future.
mosesravoorion 26 Dec 2009 at 10:38 pm 9According to my family realtions,she married Sharat Raghavan earlier without informing as cine family does. After Nagarjuna came to know the affair he left her for Amla.This situation made Annapurna (nag mother) to go in trauma.Because this people live only for money not for the goodness of society.
suhasinion 04 Jan 2010 at 9:37 pm 10Even I read that nag’s mom was very sad when the divorce happened.Dont know real reason.of breakup.but ANR didnt attend nag’s second marriage ceremony with amala. Its not good to deprive child of real father’s love and presence.

Lathaon 01 Mar 2010 at 12:37 pm 16Hi all
Movie people are known for their infidelities any way. Too much money, they dont know what to do with it. So they go from one to another. And I wonder how this other women accepts a second place? Just look at Sridevi, Hema, Jayaprada, Smita patil…and many more just ruined the marriages of the movie actors. Does any one actually think about that man’s wife and children?
It is really sad. what do you guys think?!
suhasinion 03 Mar 2010 at 7:21 pm 17In my opinion, actresses dont find good men to marry, so after an age they get desperate to marry just anyone available. As long as they get a man, its fine with them. Madhuri Dixit was a rare exception. Recently shilpa Shetty married a guy who divorced his wife with whom he has a two year old child. As if its only the wife’s responsibility to bring up kids. The truth is every marriage has problems and nobody is perfect!
I feel happy to see this article on nagarjuna’s first wife as i always thought about her and her son. The magazines used to talk so much about nag-amala and i used to think ‘what must be his wife going thru’. I feel happy to see that his first wife is a good-looking, successful working woman. Thanks for the article!
Rockyon 10 Mar 2010 at 12:13 am 18The breakup reaspn was very obvious, things doe n’t work well and they got divorced (egoistic), and afterwards they remarried………i can assure none of them had an extramarital affair, they are from great families, thier marriage was arranged one……
snehaon 10 Mar 2010 at 11:22 pm 19Was it ego or was it his wife’s inability to accept his link-ups with heroines??Since she has re-married a non-celebrity, I assume lakshmi wanted a simple hassle free life. Amala has no problem with these link ups becoz she herself was linked to nag when he was still married to Lakshmi.I remember reading an interview of amala saying people say she was the cause of nag’s break up with his first wife. The magazine was Savvy Cover 1994.
Just think how would their son naga chaitanya feel about all these discussions abt his parents’ marriage, that it was arranged, so ok if they got divorced!Nag and Venkatesh were roomates while studying in the US.
sunshineon 12 Mar 2010 at 5:22 pm 20i think its vry bad on nag’s part to deprive nagachaitanya…..d love of his original mom…..i mean d trauma a young kid undergoes wen his parents divorce and den al dis gets discussed privately on d net…….who can take all dis?//////
well as far as i know..nag is fond of both his kids……all d best chaitanya……and yeah wat abt his affair wid tabu???????dats also a happening story in his life….luks like one aint enough for him……
snehaon 14 Mar 2010 at 5:32 pm 21Nagarjuna is very loving towards his children, and chaitanya loves both his parents. In his recent interview to galatta magazine,he has talked about his parents.So, atleast dont hurt the person by talking about his parents marriage. Even if it was an arranged marriage, he came to this world becoz of that relationship!
Anyway, if nag loves Tabu, he should marry her!! I rem reading amala’s interview(Savvy Cover story) saying she knew Lakshmi when nag and lakshmi were still married, and that after she married nag, she has not met lakshmi and doesnt know how she feels about her!! I found her words callous.No wonder today, everthing has come back to her!!
Amala is two faced…shows great compassion towards animals but callous when it came to marrying a married guy. who knows maybe tabu is the right person for him…u never know!!
jhumkion 14 Mar 2010 at 11:20 pm 22tabu is actually mum abt all dis……i cant believe it…..i mean if dey hav relationships and ruin their personal lives…..why give birth to children n ruin their lives too?i dont believe nag is personally happy wid amala…his fondness for tabu alwayz is shown during his intriews…..anywyz…why bother abt thr personals…..thr r ery gud tuwards audience professionlly……dats enough….i personally liked nag in shiva and manmadhudu
luv u nag
jhumki
ethihason 27 Apr 2010 at 7:48 pm 23this is very nice [excellent]
tinaon 23 Jul 2010 at 8:59 pm 24y 2interfere n tlk al d stuff abt any1 unknowingly wn dey r hapy wit der own lyf…………..????????
live n let live……………….
Roceon 24 Jul 2010 at 8:05 pm 25ya…even I agree…..Because as we all know Nag and Amala were friends after the movie Shiva…News article states that Nag proposed Amala and later she agreed willingly….Which was wrong as she being his friend earlier (now wife)…she should have tried to avoid the divorce with his first wife as they already has a son (if she was his good/true frnd) ..But she willingly agreed as it was in her heart which she was expecting Nag to tell…Later when he did she jumped into it….I just wonder how some people like her agree to a second wife post and fascinate a man who is already marired….No one thought of the kid in the first place not even Nag….Heaven knows whether Amala gives the same kind of love to the first wife’s son as she gives to her son…..She must be two faced…When she loves animals so she can easily act of loving the first child easily ….( As she is a very nice actress) But after reading several articles on the web, etc…i think both Nag is happy with Amala….( As he alwys mentions her beautiful)….And now its 18 years they are together …Let it be whatever…Later everyone may or maynot realize
snehaon 27 Jul 2010 at 9:43 pm 26Hi Roce i agree with most of the things you have said but its not correct that nag-amala met during Shiva. they met much before that though the affair became public during Shiva. Nag’s first wife’s father, the legendary producer Drama naidu had made a movie called ‘Chinna Babu’ which starred his then son-in-law Nagarjuna and guess who? Amala!! This was atleast 2 yrs before Shiva and the only movie Nag did with his inlaws. so Amala knew the family since then. It must have been hurtful for the family but they have conducted themselves with dignity. Chaitanya was brought up by his mother, and i can see that he has grown up well.
Amala is really beautiful but honestly i am unable to admire her only for this reason. But i think with news of Nag’s affairs with his heroines(it cant be smoke without fire), Amala has got a taste of her own salt. But she is two faced and very shrewd, she will act as if her life is perfect.
Roceon 06 Aug 2010 at 8:58 pm 27Hi Sneha
Ohhh…I didnt knew this!!!!!….He cheated upon those people who gave him a path /way to the film industry….Amazing…….Good that Chaitanya has been brought up by his mother ( But I read in one of the articles that he was with his moter only for 2 years when he was quite small) ..Amala really got waht she did…You know the saying…As thou sow…so thou you reep….Nag’s first wife’s father must have repented it later when Amala used her tactics over Nag…Just wondering how can any person like Amala do such a cheapo act…ha ha ha ha ha You said correct that she is two faced and will always act as in her life is PERFECT….But Nag always admires her..makes me wonder… Thnks for letting me knw sooo many things ( or u can call it updates for me ) ha ha ha ha ha ..Thnks …G9t
snehaon 06 Aug 2010 at 10:34 pm 28Yes! Both Nag-Amala wants to show that their life is PERFECT. Every couple has problems in their lives but not them. how is it possible? haha. Its just a stupid facade. Nag divorced his wife, so second time wants to be a better husband and admires his wife haha!!
I really like Chai:) He is sooo sweet. Thanks Nag u married Lakshmi Ramanaidu.
Chai studied in Padma Shesadri school in Chennai, but did his college in hyderabad. From what i have gathered from his interviews, he loves both his parents, thats good. children should be kept away from the problems elders face.Also, both father and mother are important for child’s upbringing.
Rameshon 07 Aug 2010 at 6:56 pm 29And coming to discussing about Nag’s personal life…who r we..He hasnt committed any crime either by divorcing his first wife or by marrying Amala. Lots of people across the world keep getting divorced every day… Only the celebrities face such troubles of gossip and talks… Nag is an intelligent man and a mature person. He sure knows whats right and wrong for him. Anyways…Nice family picture..Bye guys…cheers. Keep Smiling.
snehaon 08 Aug 2010 at 7:16 pm 30A celebrity’s life does get discussed whether you like it or not. You like Nag so you are defending him. People here were interested to know abt their divorce etc.You will find Nag-Amala wedding on youtube, why? becoz people are interested in celebrity lives.
Roceon 09 Aug 2010 at 6:40 pm 31Hey Sneha
Let it be yar…The guy mentioned above your latest comment is a MAN, so he will definately interefere about us talking like this. Let him go…but you gave him a nice wak…good…he he he he
You know that I had read Nag’s interview in one of the times of india newspaper…there NAg told that ” after marrying Amala he now knows where he has to go. She defines life for him” he he he he he he he he he …And you know he even said, ” That they both are fiercely independent people. But their marriage is going on because they have LOTSSS of respect between them.
I read two of his tweets in twitter, where he mentioned that, he is very happy ( the day when he completed something 18 years of marriage) with his blissful wife- Amala. He even said that he had a wonderful stress busting vacation with her in Mauritius.
He he he he he he he
:-):-):-)….You are absolutely right that both are JUST pretending that their life is going coolllll…..he he he he ha ha……
It seems that he had gone all the way to San Jose to propose Amala!!!!. Booked an entire resturant for her, flowers, champage…Hmmmm…Went down on his knees to propse her which later with TEARS ih her eyes Amala agreed !!!!!!….He he he he he…All crap…….:-)….I just Chai do not follow his father’s footsteps. hmmmmm….Take care Sneha
Roceon 09 Aug 2010 at 6:45 pm 32Hey Sneha..You said that Nag has affairs with almost all his heroines??? Is It??????
snehaon 09 Aug 2010 at 10:54 pm 33I follow Nag’s interviews too and have read all the above:) No marriage is perfect, especially one that comes with so much baggage. We have seen what has happened to Azar-Sangeeta, Kamal-Sarika..Celebrities talk crap most of the time. But since he is Chai’s father and I like Chai a lot, lets not discuss abt Nag’s affairs and all. Also, this article is about Chai’s mom:)
Even if our neigbour divorces and marries another woman, we discuss, so where is the harm in discussing celebrities??
snehaon 19 Aug 2010 at 11:11 pm 34As for Amala, she is just a hypocrite. If u read the interviews of other south indian actresses like Khushboo and Gautami, u will find they will talk very honestly, even if they make a mistake in life, they will say so. I never find amala’s interviews honest except when she talks abt her animals!
harshaon 26 Aug 2010 at 7:15 pm 35Article and discussion went awesome except few had diversions. Every one gets interest to know more about stars personal life including me.I feel, Nags mystery could not have been predicted any time…..!
Anonymouson 30 Aug 2010 at 9:13 pm 36Well, Sorry to disappoint you , but Nag – Amala has set a beautiful example of being an understanding couple. They have been together in marriage since past 18 years. Wow. Hats off to them. When they are in love with each other so much, so why to talk about them. Inspite,of being celebrities, they love each other a lot. Amala has also brought up the 1st son so well in love. If Amala would have been two faced, she would not have loved Nag and his family so much.
