Actor Allu Sirish is set to marry his longtime girlfriend Nayanika Reddy in a traditional Telugu ceremony in Hyderabad on Friday. The couple has been hosting pre-wedding bashes and cocktail parties, but also stuck to tradition with the pasupu danchadam, mangala snanam and mehendi ceremonies.
Nayanika took to Instagram to post a video of her mangala snanam (holy bath), which she says is called mailapolu in her family. Her beau, Sirish, seemed to feel FOMO and shared the video on his Instagram stories, writing, “I wish the tradition allowed the groom to attend this event! @nayanika_reddy.”
Later on Thursday, Nayanika also posted pictures of herself getting her mehendi done on Instagram Stories. On Friday, she posted a set of pictures from her pasupu danchadam (grinding turmeric) ceremony, writing, “It’s the day.”
The pictures show Nayanika in a gold and purple saree, decked with gold, as she takes part in festivities. Aravind also attended the ceremony and was all smiles as he took his future daughter-in-law’s hands. Arjun and Sneha were accompanied by their son Ayaan.
