The much-anticipated wedding of Tollywood actor Niharika Konidela to her fiance Chaitanya Jonnalagadda finally took place on Wednesday at 7.15 pm in Udaivilas Palace in Udaipur. The wedding was an intimate yet grand affair with 120 family and close friends in attendance, due to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions. According to reports, the wedding in Udaipur was planned by Niharika’s brother Varun Tej, who is also an actor.
On her wedding day, Niharika had earlier been seen in a bright red pattu saree, a contrasting green blouse with Muggam work embroidered on it and matching jewellery. During the Jeela Karra Bellam event, while Niharika was seen in a gold-coloured saree, with a veil over her head, Chaitanya wore a chocolate-brown kurta pyjama set.

Sharing a wedding photo, Niharika’s father Nagababu wrote an emotional note about Niharika. “Serious nostalgia hit me all again! It feels like the first day of her school, just that she won't be returning by evening. It took years to make peace with the fact that my baby girl is all grown up to go to school. Just dunno how long it will be this time. Only time will decide,” he said.
