The matrimony of Samantha Akkineni and Naga Chaitanya is touted to be one of the most beautiful star-studded weddings of Tollywood. A few special moments from their big day including the fun-filled mehandi ceremony to the emotional South Indian wedding have resurfaced on social media.

Samantha and Chaitanya made things official first in January 2017 with a ring exchange ceremony in Hyderabad. The couple’s destination wedding festivities were hosted by an upscale resort in Goa.

They tied the knot following south Indian traditions on October 6, 2017. The bride-to-be went vintage for the rituals like find the ring and the Hindu pheras. Samantha wore an ivory Kanjeevaram silk saree and a crimson blouse that gave a starring element to her wedding look. Samantha opted for temple jewellery including a baroque necklace, jhumkas and matha patti. The groom-to-be opted for a classic off-white dhoti and kurta set.
