Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala Seek Blessings at Mallikarjuna Temple.
Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala visited the revered Mallikarjuna Temple in Srisailam, Andhra Pradesh, on Friday evening, seeking divine blessings just a day after their wedding. The newlyweds were accompanied by Naga Chaitanya’s father, veteran actor Nagarjuna.
A heartwarming video from their temple visit has gone viral on social media, showcasing a tender moment between the trio as they performed puja rituals. In the video, Nagarjuna, Naga Chaitanya, and Sobhita Dhulipala are seen bowing their heads before a priest, who offers a thaal with turmeric, sandalwood paste, and flowers.
As the priest applies a bottu (mark) on Nagarjuna’s forehead, followed by Sobhita, who applies a bottu to herself using sandalwood paste, a touching moment unfolds. As Sobhita’s hair falls onto her shoulder, Nagarjuna gently brushes it back, eliciting a warm smile from the bride. This candid moment has captured the hearts of netizens.
Sobhita Dhulipala looked stunning in a vibrant yellow silk saree paired with an orange blouse, while Naga Chaitanya donned a traditional mundu and white shirt. The video has drawn widespread attention for its emotional and candid portrayal of the newlyweds’ meaningful visit.
Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala tied the knot on December 4 at the Annapurna Studios, Hyderabad. Previously, Nagarjuna shared their first official wedding pictures and welcomed Sobhita to the family.
In a heartfelt note, Nagarjuna expressed his emotions, saying, “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.
He further added, “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.”
