The star-studded event, held in an intimate yet grand setting, was all about Telugu culture and family bonds. Both Naga and Sobhita began a new chapter in their lives with the blessings of the former's grandfather ANR. The ceremony was a grand affair, with Naga Chaitanya wearing a traditional dhoti and Sobhita Dhulipala looking stunning in a gold Kanjivaram silk saree with intricate zari work. The saree, adorned with real gold zari, was complemented by statement jewellery, including a maathapatti, bajubandh, and a kamarbandh, making her the epitome of grace and tradition.

It was graced by an array of stars from the Telugu film industry, including Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun, Nayanthara, PV Sindhu, and Jr. NTR, along with family members from both the Akkineni and Daggubati families. The wedding was held at Annapurna Studios, a venue of great sentimental value to the Akkineni family. Established in 1976 by Naga Chaitanya's grandfather, the legendary actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao, this 22-acre property in Banjara Hills holds a special place as evident by a picture shared by Chiranjeevi. The couple exchanged wedding vows in front of ANR's statue, making the big day even more special. Naga's father, actor Nagarjuna Akkineni, shared the first official images of the newlyweds on his X (formerly known as Twitter) account, expressing immense joy and gratitude. Nagarjuna's heartfelt message read: "Watching Sobhita and Chay begin this beautiful chapter together has been a special and emotional moment for me. Congratulations to my beloved Chay, and welcome to the family, dear Sobhita- you've already brought so much happiness into our lives." He also reflected on the deeper significance of the wedding, mentioning that it took place under the blessings of Akkineni Nageswara Rao's statue, installed to mark his centenary year. Mentioning the legendary ANR, he wrote, "It feels as though his love and guidance are present with us in every step of this journey." Pellikoduku Ceremony and Pre-Wedding Glimpses Before the wedding, the couple had celebrated several pre-wedding rituals, including the joyous 'Pellikoduku' ceremony.
