Allu Sirish recalls Allu Arjun’s advice before he got married, opens up about his ‘slow-burn romance’ with Nayanika Reddy: ‘Things will go wrong, don’t stress’

‘Ours was a slow-burn romance’

In the same conversation, he also shared how his love story with Nayanika unfolded, describing it as a “slow-burn romance.” “I met her at a party held for my cousin Varun Tej and Lavanya’s wedding in October 2023. We started talking. It was a slow-burn romance. We were hanging out as friends. There was attraction from day one, but both of us took it slow.”

Reflecting on the initial uncertainties, he added, “My fear was that her sister is friends with Sneha, so if something went wrong, I didn’t want their relationship to become awkward. She had a similar hesitation. She thought, ‘This guy is an actor, maybe he’s not serious.’ Her best friend Shalini, who is married to actor Nithiin, gave her reassurance that I was a good guy. Eventually, in October last year, we started dating officially.” Allu also revealed that they had not initially planned to marry quickly, but things progressed organically.

‘It all happened very organically’

“Our original plan was to date for a year and then see if we were compatible for marriage. But within a month or two, we were already talking about the future, about things like our children speaking Telugu at home. We kept it low profile and avoided going to parties together. But eventually, people started noticing and asking questions. So we decided to make our parents meet and make it official. It all happened very organically. There was no dramatic moment where I decided I would marry her. It just happened naturally.”

Interestingly, the couple chose to get married on March 6, the same date that Allu Arjun and Sneha Reddy celebrated as their anniversary for the past fifteen years.
