In his first interview since tying the knot with businessperson Nayanika Reddy, actor Allu Sirish has shared intimate details about his “slow-burn” romance and the transition into married life. Speaking on Thursday, March 12, 2026, the actor revealed that while the feeling of being a “husband” is still sinking in, the reality hit home when Nayanika finally moved into his residence.
From Mutual Friends to Marriage
The couple’s love story is a classic case of modern serendipity:
- The Meeting: They first crossed paths at a pre-wedding party for Sirish’s cousin, Varun Tej.
- The Background Check: Sirish jokingly revealed that Nayanika’s best friend did a “background check” on him before the two started dating.
- The Proposal: Within weeks of dating, the duo realized they were a perfect match. Sirish describes their relationship as a “slow burn” that lacked a singular “wow” moment but felt naturally right.
Advice from the “Best Man” and Fellow Grooms
The wedding saw a gathering of South Indian cinema’s biggest stars, many of whom shared their wisdom with the new groom:
- Allu Arjun (The Brother): Serving as the best man, the Pushpa star told Sirish to ignore anything that goes wrong during the festivities. “This is the best moment of your life… fully enjoy it and relax,” was Arjun’s core advice.
- Vijay Deverakonda: Vijay, who recently married Rashmika Mandanna, gave Sirish a more practical tip: “Take off once the wedding ends.” He warned that post-wedding “dinner invites” would otherwise consume all their time.
- The New Responsibility: Sirish quipped that his professional “hunger” has grown because he now has to “pay the bill for two people,” noting that Nayanika’s practical nature helps balance his own personality.
