Allu Sirish marks one year since 'Pelli Choopulu' with wife Nayanika Reddy
Mumbai, May 30
Telugu film actor Allu Sirish has celebrated his and his wife Nayanika Reddy's Pelli Choopulu ceremony, which took place exactly a year ago on the eve of his birthday.
Sirish shared a string of pictures from the pre-wedding custom in which the bride and groom, along with their families, meet formally to get to know each other before marriage.
The younger brother of superstar Allu Arjun shared that a year later, the couple is happily married and enjoying the new milestones of married life together.
He wrote on Instagram: "29th May 2025, exactly a year back on the eve of my birthday our "pelli choopulu" happened. Our families met and blessed our decision to get married."
"Cut to: One year later, we're happily married and opened our joint account together lol. The last one year was so magical and flew by so fast!" Sirish added.
Sirish married Nayanika Reddy in March earlier this year in a grand, intimate traditional ceremony in Hyderabad.
It was in December 2025 when Sirish announced his wedding date. He had shared that he would be tying the knot with Nayanika on March 6, the same day his brother Allu Arjun tied the knot with Sneha Reddy.
Sirish announced a viral reel featuring him alongside his nieces and nephews.
Sirish, known for his diverse film choices, has steadily carved a niche for himself in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam cinema with a mix of commercial and content-driven projects.
He debuted as a lead actor with Gouravam in 2013. He later went on to appear in films such as Kotha Janta, Srirastu Subhamastu, Okka Kshanam and Urvasivo Rakshasivo. He was last seen in the film Buddy in 2024.
Directed by Sam Anton, the film also stars Gayatri Bhardwaj, Prisha Rajesh Singh and Ajmal Ameer in prominent roles. It tells the story of Pallavi, who after a terrible accident leaves her in a coma while her soul possesses the body of a teddy bear. With her organs in danger of being traded, she enlists the help of a pilot, Aditya.

Honestly, I'm more interested in seeing Sirish's film choices than his wedding updates. He's been doing some really different roles - from Buddy to his earlier films, he's not just riding on his brother's fame. But happy for the couple, bhai! Married life suits him.
As someone from the US, I find these pre-wedding customs fascinating. We don't really have an equivalent of Pelli Choopulu in Western weddings. It's nice that families get to formally bless the union before the actual ceremony. And Sirish and Nayanika look genuinely happy - that reel with the nieces and nephews was adorable!
One year of Pelli Choopulu, but they got married just two months ago? Bajrangi, I'm confused about the timeline. Is the article saying they had the ceremony in May 2025 and married in March 2025? That doesn't add up. Anyway, Sirish is a class act - loved him in Kotha Janta and Urvasivo Rakshasivo. Hope his career keeps growing!
What a beautiful tradition! I love how Indian families celebrate these pre-wedding rituals. It's not just about the couple but about bringing two families together. Sirish seems like a grounded guy - staying low-key despite being Allu Arjun's brother. Wishing them many years of happiness ❤️
