Actors Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who made their relationship official last year after being romantically involved for nearly three years, got engaged on Sunday.

A source close to Chaitanya told us: "It was a very private affair and only the families of the couple and very close friends were present. They kept the venue a secret as they didn’t want public to come hoping to catch a glimpse of the couple."

The ceremony took place at a plush hotel.

Samantha's parents and her close friends from Chennai, where she grew up and studied, were present.

"Samantha wore a specially designed outfit by Kresha Bajaj. She was really excited about it," the source said.

Chaitanya and Samantha first met on the sets of Gautham Vasudev Menon's Telugu romantic-drama "Ye Maaya Chesave" and went on to work together in films such as "Autonagar Surya" and "Manam".
