Nagarjuna holds back ‘kodalu’ Sobhita Dhulipala’s hair as she applies bottu in temple
Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya made their first public appearance since their wedding at the Srisailam temple in Andhra Pradesh on Friday morning. Chaitanya’s father, Nagarjuna, was also among them. Videos from their visit have been posted on the internet, but one in particular has piqued the interest of many.
In this video, all three people lower their heads in front of the priest. He gives them a thaal with turmeric, sandalwood paste, and flowers to anoint themselves. Nagarjuna goes first, and the priest places a bottu on his forehead. When Sobhita’s loosened hair falls over her shoulder, she dips her finger in the sandalwood paste and applies a bottu to her forehead. Nagarjuna notices this and pulls her hair back, while Sobhita gives a gentle smile.
