When asked about the unusual venue for his wedding festivities, Naga Chaitya talked about the sentimental value attached to it. He told Zoom, “The wedding is happening in Annapurna Studios, a very special and sentimental venue for the family, which makes it even more important that all the arrangements flow well and are memorable for everyone. All in all, there is a lot of excitement and healthy nervousness in me.”
Talking about the scale of the wedding Naga Chaitanya stated, "It’s going to be an elaborate and lavish wedding in terms of the rituals that we are going to follow." According to him, Sobhita’s family has taken a keen interest in following all the traditional rituals and he is totally looking forward to the experience. However, the guest list will be limited. "It’s a very intimate guest list with only immediate family and friends", concluded Chay.
