From co-stars to life partners: How Nagarjuna and his second wife Amala Mukherjee fell head-over-heels

As a follower who has closely observed Nagarjuna’s life and career, I must say that his journey from being a struggling actor to becoming a legendary figure in Telugu cinema is nothing short of inspiring. However, what truly stands out about this man is not just his professional achievements but also his personal life.

As a devoted fan, I’ve always admired the incredible success Nagarjuna has achieved in his film career, with blockbusters that have captivated audiences worldwide and performances that are simply unforgettable. Yet, there’s another side to Nagarjuna that often goes unnoticed – his devotion as a family man. He shares a blissful life with his beloved wife, Amala Mukherjee, and their sons, Naga Chaitanya and Akhil Akkineni. Ever wondered how this powerhouse of talent met the woman who stole his heart? Let me share the enchanting tale of their first encounter and the love that blossomed between them.

Today marks Kubera actor’s 65th birthday (August 29)! Let us explore the romantic journey of Nagarjuna and his second spouse, Amala Mukherjee. From sharing the screen as co-stars to becoming life partners, discover how this charming duo navigated their path together. Dive in for a closer look at their story.

Nagarjuna and Amala Mukherjee’s relationship

It’s worth noting that Nagarjuna was married to Lakshmi Daggubati in the past. Lakshmi, his first wife, happens to be the daughter of renowned filmmaker Daggubati Ramanaidu. They tied the knot in February 1984, a union arranged by their fathers who were close friends. Their union resulted in the birth of their son, Naga Chaitanya, on November 23, 1986. Today, Naga Chaitanya is a well-known actor in the film industry.

Things were running smoothly, but fate seemed to have different ideas. Shortly after the arrival of Chay, their marriage started facing difficulties, and these challenges proved too great for them to overcome. As a result, they decided to separate in 1990.

After parting ways from his previous relationship, Nagarjuna immersed himself fully in his professional commitments. It was during one of these film projects that he encountered his future partner, Amala Mukherjee. Rumor has it that Nagarjuna was captivated by Amala’s devotion and punctuality on set, which eventually led to his falling for her.

As per an account in Bollywood Shaadis, it was Nagarjuna who initially developed feelings for Amala, and their connection was entirely one-sided at first. However, on a particular day, the actor from Kubera performed a unique gesture towards the actress, which melted Amala’s heart.

During the filming of their movie, it turned out that Nagarjuna discovered Amala was hesitant to leave her trailer for shooting. In response, he decided to visit her personally, as she was his future wife at the time. Upon arrival at Amala’s trailer, Nagarjuna noticed that she was deeply crying.

Following a quick chat, it emerged that Amala, the ex-actress, felt uneasy about her wardrobe for a particular scene. Nagarjuna’s kindness resonated with Amala’s purity, as he promised to discuss this matter with the director. This act of consideration endeared him to Amala. From that point on, Nagarjuna and Amala developed a strong friendship.

Nagarjuna and Amala Mukherjee’s marriage 

Not long after, a deep affection grew between them and they began to court one another. After some time, Nagarjuna decided to propose to Amala, the object of his affection, for matrimony. In 1991, this influential pair travelled to the United States where the actor asked his sweetheart to marry him.

In a recent conversation, I found myself recounting an unexpected turn of events: just as movies, love, and marriage often intertwine, so did they for me. My partner, Nag, took me by surprise with a proposal that left me in a whirlwind of emotion. As the initial elation began to fade, I posed a question close to my heart: would we relocate to Hyderabad? His response was affirmative. I shared my desire to take things slow and not rush back to work. He made it clear that while the choice was mine, if I wasn’t keen, I needed to be. Ultimately, he encouraged me to pursue whatever path I desired.

 

Back in the enchanting summer of ’92, I found myself as a star-struck admirer witnessing the beautiful union between my beloved idols, Nagarjuna and Amala, in the vibrant city of Chennai. The atmosphere was brimming with love, family, and friends, making it an event to cherish forever. Fast forward two years, I couldn’t help but rejoice when the charming couple gifted us their precious little bundle of joy, Akhil Akkineni, adding a new dimension to our shared affection.

When Nagarjuna’s alleged affair with Tabu affected his personal life

During their harmonious married years, Nagarjuna and Amala experienced an unexpected disruption in their peaceful life. In the heart of the ’90s, whispers about Nagarjuna’s alleged infidelity with Bollywood starlet, Tabu, gained immense popularity.

Despite the report being unfounded, it unsettled Amala and Nagarjuna’s married life. Yet, they chose to maintain their peaceful coexistence and dealt with the situation sensibly.

During an interview with The Times Of India, Amala candidly discussed a challenging period of her married life, stating, “This conviction of mine remains unshaken. It’s none of anyone’s business what transpires within my home. I am content and, to answer your question, my husband and I have never broached this topic. My home is a sanctuary, as sacred as a temple, and I strive to keep it free from the negativity and gossip prevalent in the film industry.”
