Telugu superstar Naga Chaitanya graced the grand opening of ace couturier Tarun Tahiliani's band Tasva's flagship store in the heart of Himayatnagar, Hyderabad. The actor went viral for his ‘baraat' video which left the internet baffled. However, it was his quirky way of arriving at the event. When the media asked him if it was a rehearsal for his wedding with Sobhita Dhulipala, Naga jokingly said, "Perhaps you could think so, that it's a countdown kinda for my marriage."

Naga Chaitanya shares his wedding plans with Sobhita Dhulipala

Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala got engaged earlier this month. When the actor was posed with the question of having a big fat wedding or a lowkey ceremony, he answered, "Marriage is about the people who mean a lot to me. It doesn't have to be a big fat wedding but people keeping up with the cultures and traditions in mind, so that's how I want it (marriage) to be."

At their Nischitaardham (engagement) ceremony, Sobhita wore a golden blush Uppada silk saree by Manish Malhotra. She opted for a hue inspired by the Kanakaambaram, a traditional temple flower worn by Telugu women, and the eternal Padmam (lotus). The silhouette, derived from the paintings of iconic Telugu artist Bapu, echoed the classic half-saree style of young South Indian women. Naga Chaitanya wore an interpretation of the classic Pattu pancha, laalchi, and kanduva - a traditional three-piece set worn by the men of Andhra Pradesh. His attire, crafted in ivory brocade and muted gold tussar silk, was complemented by antique gold dori work, honouring the exquisite craftsmanship of the state.
