Actor Allu Sirish recently got married to businessperson Nayanika Reddy and in his first interview since their wedding, he insists that he is still waiting for the feeling to hit that he is married and a husband.
“It’s been just a few days. It’s been happening bit by bit. She has finally moved into my house and that felt different, but it’s been sinking in gradually,” he shares.
While their wedding celebrations were full of memorable moments, it was the subtle moments in between that Sirish remembers most fondly.
“The most special moments happened between the functions as I got to spend time with my new family and reconnect with my old friends and family. I have quite a large family of my own and now, it’s even bigger. It was like a movie,”
The couple’s love story began at a pre-wedding party for Sirish’s cousin, actor Varun Tej and his wife, actor Lavanya Tripathi.
Ask the new groom one quality of his wife he wants to learn from and he responds, “She is a smarter judge of people. She can read everything better. I think actors get carried away but she is more practical.”
But does he feel a new zest in his work too since getting married? “100% as now I have to pay the bill for two people,” he quips, adding, “When I was solo, there was no pressure on how much I earn or what I do, but now that I have taken responsibility for another person, I really have to step up now. The ambition and hunger has grown in an internalised way.”
Allu Sirish on Allu Arjun and Vijay Deverakonda’s adviceSirish’s best man at the wedding was his brother, actor Allu Arjun. Did he give him any marriage advice? “He hasn’t given me any marriage advice yet, but during the wedding he told me to make sure to enjoy the moment. He told me that there will be many things that will go wrong, but don’t let it worry you. This is the best moment of my life and I should fully enjoy it and relax. He would be the first person to come at every event and last to leave. Men don’t use words to convey their love, it’s these gestures that do it,” he shares.
