The celebrations also set the countdown rolling for the couple’s wedding, which is scheduled to take place on December 10, 2026, in Hyderabad. With barely a little over a month between the engagement and wedding, the families are now gearing up for another major celebration.
Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan and Allu Arjun Make the Engagement a Starry Affair
The engagement was a close-knit family occasion, but the guest list had enough star power to make it one of the most talked-about celebrations in Tollywood. Megastar Chiranjeevi and his wife Surekha Konidela were among those present to bless the couple.
Sai Durgha Tej’s cousin Ram Charan also attended the ceremony, while Allu Arjun arrived with his wife Sneha Reddy. Their presence brought together prominent members of the extended Mega family, making the occasion especially significant for fans who follow the Konidela and Allu family.
The celebrations were attended by Sai Durgha Tej’s parents, Dr. Siva Prasad and Vijaya Durga, and his brother Vaishnav Tej. Other family members included Varun Tej, Lavanya Tripathi and their son Vaayuv Tej, Naga Babu and Padmaja, and Niharika Konidela.
Allu Bobby and Neela Shah, Allu Aravind and Allu Nirmala, along with Allu Sirish and Nayanika Reddy, were also part of the gathering. Akira Nandan and Aadhya, children of Pawan Kalyan, attended the celebrations as well.
The event also saw the presence of close friends and colleagues from the Telugu film industry. Manchu Manoj and Bhuma Mounika Reddy, Naveen Vijay Krishna, Harsha Chemudu, director Venky Kudumula, Navdeep and Harshith Reddy joined the celebrations.
In short, it was a family occasion with a serious dose of Tollywood glamour!
Ram Charan Shares His Wishes for the Couple
The engagement also received attention on social media, with Ram Charan sharing a congratulatory message for the couple. His warm wishes added another public moment to the celebrations and gave fans a glimpse of the family’s happiness.
The gathering was particularly special because it brought together several branches of the extended Konidela and Allu families. Sai Durgha Tej shares close family ties with some of Telugu cinema’s most recognisable stars. Ram Charan, Varun Tej and Niharika Konidela are his cousins, while Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan are his maternal uncles.
The Allu family is connected to the Konidela family through marriage, which explains the presence of Allu Arjun, Allu Sirish and producer Allu Aravind at the occasion. The gathering was therefore more than just a celebrity engagement party; it was a reunion of a prominent film family.
For fans, seeing Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan and Allu Arjun together at a family celebration was an attraction in itself. However, the spotlight remained firmly on Sai Durgha Tej and Kiran as they began their journey towards marriage.
Why Sai Dharam Tej Changed His Name to Sai Durgha Tej
Apart from his engagement, the actor’s name has also been a talking point among fans over the past couple of years. In March 2024, he announced that he would be changing his professional name from Sai Dharam Tej to Sai Durgha Tej.
The change was a personal tribute to his mother, Vijaya Durga. The actor chose to incorporate his mother’s name into his identity, making the new name a meaningful gesture of love and gratitude.
The decision attracted attention because Sai Dharam Tej had already established himself in Telugu cinema under his earlier name. His transition to Sai Durgha Tej was not simply a branding exercise; it carried an emotional connection to his family.
Now, as he prepares to get married, the actor is entering another important phase of his personal life, with his family once again at the centre of the celebrations.
From Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitham to a New Chapter in Life
Sai Durgha Tej began his acting career with the 2014 film Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitham, which emerged as a box-office success and helped introduce him to Telugu audiences. He went on to build his filmography with projects across different genres.
Films such as Chitralahari and Prati Roju Pandage, both released in 2019, became important titles in his career. While Chitralahari explored the struggles of a young man trying to find professional success, Prati Roju Pandage offered a family-oriented entertainer that connected with audiences.
Over the years, the actor has continued to work across commercial entertainers and performance-driven stories, building a steady presence in the Telugu film industry.
His personal milestone arrives as he continues to balance family celebrations with his professional commitments. The engagement is unlikely to change his identity as an actor, but it marks a significant new chapter away from the film sets and public appearances.
December 10 Wedding: What Happens Next?
With the engagement completed, attention will now shift towards the wedding celebrations on December 10 in Hyderabad. Given the scale of the engagement guest list, fans will naturally be curious about which celebrities and family members will attend the wedding.
The presence of Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan and Allu Arjun at the engagement has already generated considerable interest. The wedding could bring together an even larger circle of relatives, friends and film-industry colleagues, although further details about the ceremony have not yet been announced.
For Sai Durgha Tej, the coming weeks will be about preparing for one of the biggest personal occasions of his life. For the Konidela and Allu families, it is another reason to come together and celebrate.
And for Tollywood fans, the engagement has delivered exactly what they love: a happy celebrity milestone, a gathering of familiar stars and a wedding date to look forward to.
Congratulations to Sai Durgha Tej and Kiran as they begin this beautiful new journey together!
