Sirish and Nayanika had earlier exchanged rings in Hyderabad on October 31, in the presence of their closest friends and family.

“That night was the first time Nayanika and I truly met. And now, two years later, we’re happily in love and engaged. Someday, when my kids ask me how it all began, I’ll tell them that’s How I Met Your Mother,” he wrote at the time.
March 6 also holds special significance for the family, as it marks the wedding anniversary of Sirish’s elder brother Allu Arjun and Sneha Reddy, who tied the knot on the same date in 2011.
Allu Arjun too got married on March 6
Explaining how the date was chosen, Sirish said, “When our wedding dates were being arrived at as per charts and kundalis, we were given two favorable dates – 25 February and March 6. Our next thought was to pick the date that matched our venue’s availability. And that just happened to be, well, March 6. It was only then that we even realized this very happy coincidence – of sharing our wedding date with Bunny and Sneha’s! This date has been deeply meaningful for all of us, and knowing that I’m marrying Nayanika that same day feels like a blessing…feels like destiny!”
He added that witnessing the life his brother and Sneha have built together has been deeply inspiring, and that he hopes to create a journey rooted in love, understanding, and mutual respect with Nayanika.
Sirish also confirmed that their wedding will follow South Indian traditions and will not feature a sangeet ceremony.
