Sai Dharam Tej is engaged. The actor, who now bills himself as Sai Durgha Tej, exchanged rings with Kiran at a private ceremony on Thursday, 5 November, at the Hilton resort in Hyderabad’s Genome Valley, and the couple will marry in Hyderabad on 10 December. The Sai Dharam Tej engagement became public when his cousin Ram Charan posted photographs from the evening on X, wishing the pair “endless love” under the tag #KiranTejForever.

The guest list was kept to family and a small circle of friends. His parents, Vijaya Durga and Dr Siva Prasad, hosted the evening with his younger brother Vaishnav Tej. Chiranjeevi, his maternal uncle, came with his wife Surekha. Naga Babu and Padmaja, Varun Tej and Lavanya Tripathi, Niharika Konidela, and Pawan Kalyan’s children Akira Nandan and Aadhya represented the Konidela side.
