It was in 2024, when Shobhita married actor Naga Chaitanya at Annapura Studios in Hyderabad. They shared special moments from their much-publicized wedding in December.
Posting the first official pictures from the wedding on Instagram, she captioned it in Telugu.
In the first picture, Shobhita is holding Naga’s face lovingly. The rest of the pictures show various rituals including ‘hawan’ and ‘jaymala’ during their wedding ceremony.
During the ‘Jaymala’ ceremony, the couple can be seen in a playful mood as they try to put the garland around each other’s neck, but no one is willing to give up.
Naga and Shobhita got married on December 5, 2024. The intimate yet star-studded affair was attended by stalwarts like Chiranjeevi, PV Sindhu, Nayanthara, NTR and famous couples like Ram Charan-Upasana Konidela and Mahesh Babu-Namrata Shirodkar.
Annapurna Studios was founded by Naga Chaitanya’s grandfather Akkineni Nageswara Rao. It is a cherished family legacy not only for the Akkineni family but for the entire Telugu cinema fraternity. Spread over 22 acres in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, the studio holds an important place in the history of Tollywood, making it a fitting backdrop for this memorable day.
