Actress Sobhita Dhulipala has cemented herself as a modern fashion icon for a few years now and we still can’t stop obsessing over her new looks. Here we have the best bridal outfit inspirations from her closet!
Sobhita Dhulipala recently announced her engagement to actor Naga Chaitanya Akkineni through some oh-so-romantic photographs of the couple and the ceremony. The actress was the perfect south Indian bride in a pastel Uppada silk sari by designer Manish Malhotra with the traditional yellow gold jewellery including a layered necklace, bangles and jhumkas from the designer’s high jewellery line. Her fiance Chaitanya accompanied her in a conventional three-piece ensemble of Pattu Pancha, lallchi and kanduva.
With her shy but strong personality, Sobhita has achieved her dreams of making it big in the film industry. She began her journey after winning the Femina Miss Earth title at the Femina Miss India 2013. She made her Bollywood debut alongside Vicky Kaushal in Anurag Kashyap’s Raman Raghav 2.0. However, it was her role in the Amazon Prime Video series Made In Heaven that established her in the eyes of the Indian cinema audience as an actor with a lot of mettle. Her subsequent stint alongside Aditya Roy Kapur in the Hotstar series The Night Manager further cemented her aura as an authentic and capable actress.
