In what can be best described as a big fat royal wedding, actor Niharika Konidela tied the knot with Chaitanya Jonnalagadda in Udaipur’s Udaivilas on Wednesday night. The wedding was attended by Telugu cinema’s most popular names such as Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan and Allu Arjun among many others of the Konidela family.
The families of the bride and the groom left for Udaipur on Sunday and since then their pictures have taken the internet by storm. From taking chartered flights to dancing to yesteryear hit songs of Chiranjeevi in the sangeet, it was unarguably one of the biggest wedding ceremonies of the year.
The marriage took place late on Wednesday night and the internet has been inundated with pictures from the wedding ritual. For the wedding, Niharika donned two saris. She chose a red and green sari for one of her looks and a gold one, which was her second look at the wedding.
Niharika’s father Naga Babu, who plays character roles, took to Instagram to share a photo with his daughter at her wedding. He wrote that he’s already missing her, “It looks like the end of an Era....Serious nostalgia hit me all again... It feels like the first day of her school...just that she won’t be returning by evening. It took years to make peace with the fact that my baby girl is all grown up to go to school and I can’t play with her 24 x 7..Just donno how long it will be this time....’Only time will decide.’ Already missing you Niha thalli @niharikakonidela #nischay (sic).”
