For her wedding, Sobhita donned a heritage saree and paired it with a stunning array of traditional jewellery, including a basikam (decorative forehead thread), maathapatti, and a bullaki (septum nose pin). Her bridal look was further enhanced with surya and chandra motifs, vanki, bajuband, and kamarband, celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Telugu traditions. Unlike most modern celebrity bride, Sobhita went heavy with the alta in a refreshing twist.
Post wedding rituals
After tying the knot today Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala will honour their cultural customs by visiting a temple as part of their post-wedding rituals — they will either visit the Tirupati Balaji Temple or the Srisailam Temple to seek blessings.
When were they seen last
The pair began dating in 2022 and got engaged on August 8 in a private ceremony with their closest family and friends — their engagement was announced by a proud Nagarjuna on X.
In the lead-up to their wedding, Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita made a stunning appearance together at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) 2024 in Goa on November 21. The couple walked the red carpet alongside Naga’s parents, Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni. The pair complemented each other, glowing in anticipation of their upcoming nuptials.
