Nagarjuna Shares Note On Sobhita Dhulipala, Naga Chaitanya Wedding
The wedding, held at the iconic family-owned Annapurna Studios, carried special significance for the Akkineni family. The venue, founded by the legendary Akkineni Nageswara Rao, served as the perfect backdrop for the union. The studio is not only a symbol of the family’s cinematic legacy but also a place of deep emotional connection. Adding to the sentiment, the wedding took place under the watchful gaze of ANR’s statue, which was recently installed to commemorate his centenary year. Nagarjuna Akkineni, father of the groom and an accomplished actor himself, shared an emotional note to mark the occasion. He expressed his joy at seeing Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita embark on this new chapter and described the ceremony as a deeply moving experience for the entire family. The veteran actor emphasized how the blessings of ANR seemed to be guiding the couple on their journey.
Sobhita Dhulipala looked resplendent on her big day, dressed in a golden Kanjivaram saree paired with intricate gold jewelry. Her traditional bridal look was completed with a gajra adorning her hair, mehendi, and alta on her hands and feet. Naga Chaitanya complemented her in a classic South Indian outfit, wearing a traditional pancha and kurta.
The couple’s wedding rituals reflected their rootedness in culture and tradition. From seeking blessings from family elders to partaking in age-old customs, the ceremony was a blend of simplicity and grandeur.
Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita’s love story began in Mumbai during an event hosted by a leading OTT platform. The two met while promoting their respective projects and gradually developed a strong bond. Over time, their relationship deepened, though they chose to keep it private for several years. It wasn’t until August this year that the couple made their relationship public by announcing their engagement. Interestingly, the engagement date, August 8, was chosen based on astrological consultations, as it was considered highly auspicious. While the ceremony was planned on short notice, the couple’s families ensured it was a meaningful celebration of their love.
Naga Chaitanya’s marriage to Sobhita marks a fresh chapter in his life. Previously married to actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu, the two parted ways amicably in 2021 after four years of marriage.
