Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya are all set to marry on December 4, 2024, at Annapurna Studios. Before the big day, Sobhita celebrated her pelli kuturu ceremony, a beautiful pre-wedding tradition in Telugu culture, two days ahead of the wedding. The ceremony, which is a type of bridal shower, was a moment filled with love, joy, and family.
Sobhita Dhulipala’s Traditional Look at the Ceremony
For the pelli kuturu ceremony, Sobhita Dhulipala embraced tradition with a stunning red and gold saree. She looked glowing and radiant, completing her look with a traditional bottu (a dot on the forehead), which is an important symbol in Telugu weddings. The actor’s graceful appearance, along with the warm atmosphere of the ceremony, made for a beautiful occasion.
In the photos shared on social media, Sobhita can be seen surrounded by her family. The ceremony involves a special ritual where turmeric paste is applied to the bride’s feet, and an aarti (a religious offering of light) is performed, marking her transition into becoming a bride. Sobhita shared light-hearted moments with her loved ones, smiling as she sought blessings from her elders. Her happiness was clear in the pictures, and fans were quick to leave kind comments. Raashii Khanna, a fellow actor, commented, “Lovely you look!”
The Traditional Pre-Wedding Ceremonies
Sobhita chose to skip the usual flashy pre-wedding celebrations and instead opted for traditional rituals. The couple began their wedding journey earlier this year with a goduma raayi pasupu danchadam ceremony in October. This ritual, which involves crushing turmeric, marks the start of the wedding preparations and is a significant part of the celebration in many Telugu weddings.
In addition to this, Sobhita and Naga Chaitanya also participated in the raata sthaapana and mangala snanam ceremonies. These ceremonies are similar to the haldi (turmeric) ritual in other weddings and are meant to purify the bride and groom before the big day. The pelli kuturu ceremony is one of the final pre-wedding rites before the couple ties the knot. Typically, the mehendi ceremony follows next, where intricate designs are drawn on the bride’s hands and feet with henna.
A Simple Yet Beautiful Wedding Ahead
The upcoming wedding of Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya will be a blend of simplicity and tradition. Both the bride and groom are expected to wear traditional pattu silk attire for the ceremony. The guest list will include their close family members and friends, along with a few industry colleagues. Sobhita and Naga Chaitanya have been in a relationship for a couple of years, and their wedding is eagerly awaited by fans and the film industry alike.
Chaitanya’s Past and New Beginnings
Naga Chaitanya’s previous marriage to actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu ended in 2021, following a two-year marriage. The couple had a grand wedding in Goa in 2017, which was a blend of Christian and Hindu ceremonies. After their split, Chaitanya found love again with Sobhita, and the two got engaged in August 2024.
As Sobhita and Naga Chaitanya approach their wedding day, they continue to celebrate love, family, and tradition. Their pelli kuturu ceremony is just one of many moments that will lead to their joyous celebration, and fans are excited to see what the future holds for this lovely couple.
