Mumbai, Oct 21 (IANS): Actress Sobhita Dhulipala and Telugu star Naga Chaitanya, who are set to tie the nuptial knot soon, have flagged off their wedding festivities.

On Monday, the ‘Made In Heaven’ actress took to her Instagram, and dropped pictures from the Pasupu Danchadam ceremony which marks the starting of wedding festivities in Telugu culture.
