Venkatesh Daggubati Blesses Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala on Their Wedding
Telugu superstar Venkatesh Daggubati has extended his heartfelt blessings to the newly wed couple, Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala, following their recent wedding celebrations. The senior actor shared glimpses from the joyful occasion on his Instagram, showcasing moments from the wedding festivities.
In the pictures, Venkatesh is seen posing with Naga Chaitanya and his family, capturing the warmth and joy of the celebrations. One of the photos shows Venkatesh applying the traditional kala tika on Naga Chaitanya, symbolizing his good wishes for the groom. Another picture features Venkatesh’s nephew, Telugu actor Rana Daggubati, joining the family in the celebrations. Venkatesh captioned the post with, “Celebrating love, happiness and family #SoChay,” expressing his joy for the couple.
Earlier, Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala had visited the Sri Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Swamy Temple in Andhra Pradesh, accompanied by Naga Chaitanya’s father, the legendary Telugu actor Nagarjuna. The couple paid their respects at the temple, with Naga Chaitanya dressed in a traditional white pancha and Sobhita Dhulipala wearing a vibrant yellow saree. Nagarjuna was also seen in a traditional kurta and pyjama for the occasion.
The wedding itself was a grand affair held in Hyderabad, attended by several prominent figures from the Telugu film industry. During the ceremony, Naga Chaitanya paid a tribute to his late grandfather, the legendary Akkineni Nageswara Rao, by wearing a traditional ‘pancha’ — a style that was iconic to his grandfather.
For the wedding’s Raata ceremony, Sobhita Dhulipala wore traditional jewelry passed down from her mother and grandmother. The Raata ceremony is an important pre-wedding ritual in Telugu culture, where a bamboo pole is planted and worshipped, along with sacred elements like pancha loha (five metals), navaratan (nine gems), and navadhaanya (nine grains), blessing the bride for her journey into married life.
This marks the second marriage for Naga Chaitanya, who was previously married to actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu in 2017. The couple, however, announced their separation in 2021, four years after their wedding.
The union of Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala has been celebrated by their families and fans, with Venkatesh Daggubati’s gesture adding a personal touch to the joyous occasion.
