Chiranjeevi is presently occupied with his film Vishwambhara, directed by Vasishta. Once he completes this project, he will turn his attention to Srikanth's film.

Sobhita Dhulipala Shines in Tradition at Her Pelli Kuthuru Ceremony with Naga Chaitanya

Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya are set to marry at Annapurna Studios on December 4. In the lead-up to their wedding, Sobhita celebrated her Pelli Kuthuru ceremony, a traditional bridal shower where she sought blessings from her elders.

Sobhita Dhulipala’s pelli kuturu ceremony

For this special occasion, Sobhita chose a stunning red and gold saree, complemented by a traditional Telugu-style bottu on her forehead. The ceremony featured joyful moments with her family, including a ritual where they applied turmeric paste to her feet and performed an aarti, symbolizing her transition into bridehood. The images shared by Sobhita radiate happiness as she interacts with her family and poses for photos post-ceremony. Fans expressed their admiration online, with actress Raashii Khanna commenting, “You look lovely!”

Sobhita’s traditional pre-wedding ceremonies

In contrast to the typical pre-wedding celebrations, Sobhita opted for traditional rituals leading up to her nuptials. Earlier in October, she participated in the Goduma Raayi Pasupu Danchadam ceremony, which involved crushing turmeric—a significant step in wedding preparations. Recently, she also completed the Raata Sthaapana and Mangala Snanam ceremonies, akin to a haldi ritual, which precede the Pelli Kuthuru ceremony. Following these traditions, the mehendi ceremony will occur before the wedding on December 4.

The #SoChay wedding

The wedding of Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya is expected to be a modest yet culturally rich affair, with both the bride and groom planning to don traditional pattu silk garments. Their guest list will feature close family members and friends from the film industry. Naga Chaitanya was previously married to Samantha Ruth Prabhu; the couple tied the knot in a dual Christian-Hindu ceremony in Goa in 2017 but announced their separation in 2021. Following their split, he began dating Sobhita, and after two years together, they officially became engaged in August 2024.
