The Groom’s Lighthearted Reaction

While traditional customs often dictate that the bride and groom perform these specific rituals separately, Allu Sirish made his presence felt digitally. Reposting Nayanika's video on his Instagram Stories, the actor jokingly expressed his "FOMO" (fear of missing out), writing, "I wish the tradition allowed the groom to attend this event!"
