Dhulipala
and
Naga
Chaitanya
are
now
married!
The
couple
tied
the
knot
in
a
traditional
Telugu
ceremony
in
Hyderabad.
Held
at
the
groom’s
family’s
Annapurna
Studios,
the
wedding
is
the
first
major
celebration
to
take
place
since
the
unveiling
of
the
statue
of
Chaitanya’s
grandfather
and
Telugu
cinema
icon
Akkineni
Nageswara
Rao,
commemorating
the
actor-producer’s
birth
centenary.

father
and
Telugu
superstar
Nagarjuna
shared
the
first
pictures
of
Chay,
38,
and
Sobhita,
32,
as
husband
and
wife
on
his
official
X
page.
‘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,’
Nagarjuna
posted.
‘This
celebration
holds
even
deeper
meaning
as
it
unfolds
under
the
blessings
of
ANR
garu’s
statue,
installed
to
mark
his
centenary
year.
It
feels
as
though
his
love
and
guidance
are
present
with
us
in
every
step
of
this
journey.
I
thank
the
countless
blessings
showered
upon
us
today
with
gratitude.
