Sobhita stunned in a red-and-gold sari as she posed for a picture, flanked by her sister Samanta Dhulipala and brother-in-law Sahil Gupta. She is set to tie the knot with actor Naga Chaitanya on December 4.
The 32-year-old actress draped her sari over a full-sleeved blouse. She accessorised her look with gold-toned jewellery. A sleek bun and minimalistic makeup enhanced Sobhita’s glamour quotient.
The Monkey Man actress had previously shared pictures from her haldi ceremony on social media. She got engaged to Chaitanya on August 8 in Hyderabad. Chaitanya’s father Nagarjuna Akkineni, Nagarjuna’s wife Amala Akkineni and his younger son Akhil Akkineni were present along with Sobhita’s parents and sister at the engagement ceremony.
Sobhita was all smiles as the elders held an ‘aarti thali’ during a pre-wedding ritual. As per media reports, she began dating Naga Chaitanya in 2022.

Sobhita posed for a photo with a basket full of red bangles. The Pelli Kuthuru ceremony is often described as a way for the bride's family to bless her for her upcoming married life.
Sobhita last appeared in ZEE5’s romantic drama Love, Sitara. It featured her opposite Rajeev Siddhartha.
