‘I oil my hair’
Talking about any traditional beauty rituals that she follows, Sobhita revealed that once in a while, she oils her hair. She added that the practice does not come from a beauty-forward place, it is just a part of her self-care routine. She explained, “I used to have really long hair. She went to ‘Bombay’ happened, and I cut it. But I have the habit of oiling my hair because that was the only way I could tame it and just braid it. So, I oil my hair. That’s a ritual that’s coming more from a place of self-care than just like a beauty-forward thing.”

Before her wedding to Naga Chaitanya, while attending various events with the actor, Sobhita left her locks loose and showed them off in a simple centre-parted look. However, for the pre-wedding rituals, she opted for simple hairstyles like a gajra-adorned loose braid, a centre-parted ponytail, and a twisted messy bun.

Meanwhile, for the wedding, Sobhita tied her luscious locks in a centre-parted bun, which was then attached to a braided parandi. She decorated her chic hairdo with real flower gajras and gold temple jewellery, including a Nethi Chutti (matha patti) and Billas attached to the forehead and the braid.

Sobhita and Naga Chaitanya tied the knot earlier this month. The couple had a traditional Telugu wedding ceremony, which was held at the iconic Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad.

MGK and Megan Fox who were dating since 2020 got engaged 2 years later. Amid breakup news, Miley joked Kelly would have been a “perfect fit” for an adult content site like OnlyFans, referencing a particular act he performed. Miley explained, “I don’t know what we were doing, but we ended up at his place, and he told me to go in the shower. I said I didn’t need one, but he insisted.

Although the adult film actress didn’t directly name the rocker, she suggested he was connected to Megan Fox’s pregnancy. Amia noted that “that was the end of it” and he didn’t “ask for it again.” She joked that her urine probably “didn’t taste great” considering her “party girl” past.

They had a casual relationship for a few months and were even spotted together in 2017. “It was just weird the whole time. I liked him in phases. He has like 30 different personalities,” she continued sharing details of their short-lived relationship. “You never know which person you’re getting in this minute and that was hard to deal with.”
