Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya made their inaugural public appearance following their wedding at the Srisailam temple in Andhra Pradesh on Friday morning, accompanied by Chaitanya's father, Nagarjuna. Footage from their visit has been circulating online, with one particular video capturing significant attention.
Endearing moment captured
In this video, the trio bows their heads before a priest, who presents them with a thaal containing turmeric, sandalwood paste, and flowers for anointing. Nagarjuna is the first to receive a bottu on his forehead from the priest. Sobhita then dips her finger into the sandalwood paste and applies a bottu to her own forehead, her loose hair cascading over her shoulder. Observing this, Nagarjuna gently holds her hair back, prompting a warm smile from Sobhita.
This tender moment resonated with many fans. One remarked, “He is like her father figure and shows genuine care for her.” Another expressed admiration, stating, “I really like Nagarjuna.” A fan noted, “That demonstrates respect and care for a daughter-in-law,” while some others deemed Nagarjuna's gesture as unnecessary.
Details of the temple visit
Photographs taken by the media showcased both Chaitanya and Sobhita adorned in traditional attire. Nagarjuna, as Chaitanya's father, accompanied the newlyweds to the Sri Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Swamy Varla Devasthanam in Srisailam. Chaitanya wore a classic white pancha, while Sobhita chose a vibrant yellow saree.
On Wednesday, Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita formalized their union through a traditional Telugu wedding ceremony held at the renowned Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad, attended by close friends and family.
The wedding was a magnificent representation of Telugu customs, featuring rituals conducted under the supervision of elders. The celebratory atmosphere was further enhanced by the heartfelt blessings from family and friends who gathered to witness this momentous occasion.
For the special event, Sobhita chose a gold Kanjivaram silk saree adorned with authentic gold zari, paying tribute to her cultural heritage. She enhanced her appearance with exquisite temple jewellery. Chaitanya also appeared dapper in a classic white ensemble.
Chaitanya was formerly wed to actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu, with their separation publicly announced via a joint statement on social media in October 2021.
The Dhootha actor publicly acknowledged his relationship with Sobhita in August of this year by posting images from their engagement ceremony.
