The Akkineni family announced the marriage of Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala in a grand and traditional Telugu wedding, held at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad, featuring an exquisite temple-themed setup. 

On the joyous occasion of Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala's wedding, Nagarjuna Akkineni said, "This wedding is a deeply meaningful moment for our family. Having Chay and Sobhita start their journey at Annapurna Studios, surrounded by the love of family and friends, fills my heart with immense pride and gratitude. It is a celebration of love, tradition, and togetherness that reflects the values my father stood for—family, respect, and unity. Seeing them begin this beautiful chapter is a moment of great joy for all of us, and we feel truly blessed to witness it."

The wedding, held during the auspicious muhuratam of 8:13 PM, was a stunning display of Telugu traditions and will continue with rituals until 1 AM, offering a vibrant display of Telugu wedding traditions.
