Chai-Sam's love story retold on Samantha's saree

When Gautham Menon wrote the engagement scene in

Ye Maaya Chesave

, he wouldn't have imagined the episode would play out for real seven years later. But when Naga Chaitanya and Samantha exchanged rings on Sunday night, it looked like the couple were doing a retake of that very scene from from their first film. Social media has been flooded with memes gushing about Sam and Chai's love story since

Nagarjuna

shared the pics post the hush-hush ceremony.
'#Chaisam It's official now. My mother is my daughter now. Couldn't be happier!! Can't express my happiness in words!!', (sic) wrote Nagarjuna expressing his happiness about having Samantha, who played his mother's role in

Manam

, as his daughter-in-law. Apparently the couple got engaged in Hindu style before exchanging rings in a Christian ceremony.
The talking point of the event was Samantha's saree which featured snapshots from their love story. The moment Chaitanya proposed, a shot from Ye Maaya Chesave, Chai's look from the movie Premam, the Akkineni family pic from Akhil's engagement besides other family pics were all embroidered on the saree.
