Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya exchanged vows on December 4. Their wedding took place in a stunning ceremony at Annapurna Studios, the film studio owned by Chay's family, located in Hyderabad. Nagarjuna was the first to share images of the newlyweds on X. The groom appeared dapper in a traditional white ensemble, while the bride dazzled in a gold Kanjeevaram silk saree, opting for the classic nine yards instead of a lehenga, exuding elegance throughout the event.

Sobhita is not the first bride to embrace this choice. Numerous celebrity brides have previously favored the grace of a saree over the heaviness of a lehenga for their nuptials. Below is a glimpse of six Bollywood brides who opted for this timeless drape on their special day.
