Telugu actor Naga Chaitanya and OTT sensation, Sobhita Dhulipala got engaged in an intimate ceremony at Naga’s Hyderabad home on Thursday morning. In a celebration that merged tradition with contemporary elegance, the engagement of Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala became a visual feast of culture and style, beautifully captured on Manish Malhotra‘s Instagram.

Sobhita Dhulipala graced the occasion in an outfit that was nothing short of mesmerizing. Her engagement ensemble featured Uppada silk, a fabric renowned for its fine quality and heritage. Draped in a golden blush hue inspired by the Kanakaambaram flower—a traditional temple flower often worn in Telugu women’s hair—Sobhita’s attire paid homage to her roots while radiating timeless grace. The design, a modern twist on the classic half-saree, drew inspiration from the iconic Telugu artist Bapu’s paintings, merging age-old elegance with a contemporary silhouette. The Padmam (lotus) motif subtly incorporated into the fabric added a touch of ethereal beauty, making her look truly unforgettable.
Naga Chaitanya complemented his bride-to-be in a stunning interpretation of the classic Pattu pancha, laalchi, and kanduva—a traditional three-piece set worn by men from Andhra Pradesh. His ensemble, a masterful blend of ivory brocade and muted gold tussar silk, was accented with intricate dori work in antique gold zari. The outfit was proof of the meticulous craftsmanship and regal charm synonymous with Manish Malhotra’s designs, embodying both sophistication and tradition.
The couple’s engagement outfits were a perfect reflection of their personal styles and cultural heritage, making their Nischitaardham ceremony not just a celebration of their union, but also a tribute to their roots. With design and styling by Manish Malhotra and his team, the event was a seamless fusion of traditional elegance and modern flair, leaving everyone in awe of the beautiful couple and their exquisite choices.

Chay or Chaitanya was previously married to actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu and the duo parted ways in 2021.
