On December 4, Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala tied the knot in a traditional Telugu wedding ceremony, marking a significant moment in their lives. The couple, who had been dating for two years, exchanged vows in an intimate celebration surrounded by close family and friends. The wedding was a much-awaited event, and now, a series of heartfelt and unseen pictures from the occasion have been shared by Chaitanya’s uncle, Venkatesh Daggubati.
Venkatesh Daggubati Performs the Traditional Kala Tika Ritual
In the pictures shared by Venkatesh Daggubati, one of the most touching moments captured is when he puts a kala tika (a black mark believed to protect him from the evil eye) on Chaitanya’s cheek. The groom-to-be is seen sitting on the floor, smiling, with a garland around his neck, as Venkatesh applies the kala tika with a kajal stick. This simple but significant ritual is often a part of wedding celebrations in many Indian families, and it is a moment full of love and warmth.
Family Moments from the Wedding Day
The shared photos also give a glimpse into the joyful atmosphere of the wedding. In one image, Naga Chaitanya is seen with his uncle Venkatesh and cousin Rana Daggubati. The three of them appear happy and relaxed, sharing a special moment together. Another picture shows the entire Daggubati family gathered for a family photo, with Chaitanya standing in the center, surrounded by his loved ones. The home is beautifully decorated with marigold and rose flowers, adding to the festive mood.
Venkatesh’s caption for the post reads: “Celebrating love, happiness, and family ,” along with the hashtag #SoChay, which combines the names of the newlyweds—Chaitanya and Sobhita. However, the comment section for the post has been turned off, perhaps to maintain privacy during this special time for the family.
The Couple’s First Public Appearance
On December 6, just two days after their wedding, Chaitanya and Sobhita made their first public appearance as a married couple. They visited the Srisailam temple in Andhra Pradesh, where they were photographed by the paparazzi. Chaitanya wore a traditional white pancha (a type of dhoti), while Sobhita looked stunning in a bright yellow saree. Chaitanya’s father, actor Nagarjuna, also joined them, dressed in a kurta and pyjama for the visit.
Nagarjuna shared his happiness about the couple’s union on social media, posting a heartfelt message for his son and new daughter-in-law. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Watching Sobhita and Chay begin this beautiful chapter together has been a special and emotional moment for me. Congratulations to my beloved Chay, and welcome to the family dear Sobhita—you’ve already brought so much happiness into our lives.”
Chaitanya’s Past and His New Beginning
Before his marriage to Sobhita, Naga Chaitanya was married to actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The couple had a lavish wedding in Goa in 2017 but parted ways in 2021. After his separation from Samantha, Chaitanya started dating Sobhita, and after two years of being together, the couple decided to take their relationship to the next level.
Their wedding marks a fresh start for Chaitanya and Sobhita, and fans of the couple are excited to see them begin this new chapter of their lives together.
