The groom was ‘ready’ for his big day as Indian actor Rana Daggubati tied the knot with entreprene­ur Miheeka Bajaj yesterday. The couple, who have been chroniclin­g their pre-wedding festivitie­s on social media, are said to have followed Covid-19 restrictio­ns at the ceremony, with sanitisers, temperatur­e checks and other precaution­s being taken.

“Everybody who will attend the wedding will get tested for Covid-19. We will also keep sanitisers across the venue and maintain social distancing. It’s a happy occasion and we want to make it a safe one too,” Rana Daggubati’s father Suresh Babu told Times of India.

Ahead of the wedding ceremony, a happy Daggubati took to his Instagram to post a picture of himself with his paternal uncle, film actor-producer Venkatesh and Suresh Babu, with a caption that simply said: “Ready!!”

Best known for starring in the Baahubali films, Daggubati went public with his relationsh­ip with Bajaj on May 12 with a picture, followed by making things official later that month with their engagement.

The pre-wedding ceremonies created a buzz of social media with the henna ceremony seeing Bajaj dressed in a stunning pink lehenga (traditiona­l Indian attire), which was followed by the Haldi ceremony the following day, where the bride wore yellow.

Celebritie­s were also part of the celebratio­ns with actress Samantha Akkineni, who is married to Daggubati’s cousin, Naga Chaitanya, in attendance.
