Actor Naga Chaitanya and actress Sobhita Dhulipala have officially begun their journey as husband and wife. The couple exchanged vows in a traditional Telugu wedding on December 4 at the prestigious Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad’s Banjara Hills, a venue that holds sentimental significance for the groom’s family. The wedding was attended by close family members and prominent figures from the South Indian film industry.
A Celebration of Tradition and Elegance
The ceremony reflected Telugu traditions, with Chaitanya opting for a classic white kurta while the bride, Sobhita, dazzled in a golden silk saree with intricate detailing. She adorned her bridal attire with elaborate gold jewelry, including layered necklaces, earrings, a maang tikka, and a matha patti, exuding timeless elegance.
The couple sought blessings from their elders after the rituals, marking the beginning of their married life. Nagarjuna Akkineni, Chaitanya’s father, looked proud as he posed with the newlyweds in a beige kurta. The celebrations were a blend of love, tradition, and familial warmth.

A Relationship Built on Shared Passions
Chaitanya and Sobhita reportedly started dating in 2022, building their connection on mutual interests, including their love for cars. Their relationship blossomed soon after Chaitanya’s divorce from actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The couple was first spotted together at a birthday party in Hyderabad, where their bond began to take shape.
Over time, their romance became more public, with sightings at various locations, including a jungle safari earlier this year and a group dinner in London with Michelin-starred chef Surender Mohan. Their engagement in August 2023, held in Hyderabad, solidified their commitment to one another.
Wedding Celebrations Begin Months in Advance
The lead-up to the wedding was filled with significant rituals, starting with the godhuma raayi papasu daanchtam ceremony in October in Visakhapatnam. This event marked the beginning of their journey toward marital bliss.
Their wedding also coincides with a landmark event at Annapurna Studios—the unveiling of a statue honoring Chaitanya’s grandfather, Akkineni Nageswara Rao, a legendary figure in Telugu cinema. The event commemorated the actor-producer’s centenary year, adding a layer of historical significance to the family’s celebrations.
Looking Ahead
On the professional front, Naga Chaitanya is gearing up for Thandel, a 2025 release directed by Chandoo Mondeti, where he will star alongside Sai Pallavi. Meanwhile, Sobhita was last seen in the romantic drama Love, Sitara on ZEE5, co-starring Rajeev Siddhartha.
As they embark on this new chapter of their lives, Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala’s wedding stands as a beautiful testament to love, tradition, and familial bonds. Fans and well-wishers are eager to see what the future holds for this stunning couple.
