Tonight is the Begining of Big Fat Indian Wedding of the year


India is all geared up for

                        Big Fat Indian wedding of this year. 






Indian media are having a field day over the Mega Wedding of Chiranjeevi’s son. Ram Charan Teja, the famous south Indian actor is tying the knot with his girlfriend Upasana Kamineni.

Hyderabad is all set for the biggest wedding of the year. Actor Ram Charan and Apollo heiress Upasna Kamineni will kickstart their wedding celebrations with a grand sangeet to be held Today.




According to a source close to both the families, the grand affair will be hosted at Annapoorna Studios and the entire Tollywood fraternity will be in attendance.





Grand preparations for the lavish wedding of Ram Charan Teja and Upasana Kamineni is on full swing and both the families aren’t leaving any stone unturned to make the wedding an affair to remember. Imported chandeliers, crystal ware from London, a food court with Balinese-themed decor, a celeb-studded guest list, foolproof swipe card invitations -- all this and a lot more could be expected at the wedding of Ram Charan.



What’s more. We can expect some filmi-style celebrations at the event. ” Allu Arjun, Shriya Saran and Tamannaah are some of the names who are said to be performing at Charan and Upasna’s sangeet.“
We also hear that comedian Ali may dance to the popular “Kajra Re” song at the sangeet.


“Ali performed to the song at the wedding of Chiranjeevi’s older daughter a few years ago and it was the talk of the town then. Chiranjeevi now wants him to do an encore at his son’s sangeet too,” adds the source.


Upasana’s outfit for the sangeet night is reportedly designed by the ace couturier Manish Malhotra, while Ram Charana Teja will don an outfit by Rajesh Pratap Singh.

According to sources, ace designer Manish Malhotra has been roped in to design the trousseau for Upasna and Charan. The bride-to-be has been paying minute attention to every outfit she'll don — right from the various functions to the nuptials. Yes, every piece is couture.



The wedding invites, each costing 1,200 INR have been designed by Upasana’s aunt and include a personalized message from the bride. The wedding will take place on June 14 at Domakonda Temple, followed by a Grand Reception. Upasana’s outfit for the wedding will be designed by none other than Tarun Tahiliani who’s planned a beautiful Kanjeevaram saree for the bride, with tints of gold.


This 'mega' wedding is planned as a private affair and a grand reception is likely to be hosted in Tirupati the next day for 'mega' fans.

Reportedly, Congress supremo Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul will attend the mega wedding function along with many film stars, political bigwigs and business tycoons. The Bachchans are also likely to grace the event.

Wedding venue is likely to have a decor like British Royal Wedding.“The centrally air-conditioned venue will be done up mostly in white, adorned with crystal decor imported from UK and chandeliers from China”.

The run-up-to-the-wedding reports are published not only in the papers down south but also in Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata editions of popular newspapers. Who would have predicted Tollywood weddings making it to the front section of popular






Page 3 tabloids? Well, this amount of coverage is expected when the wedding budget is touted to run in crores and half of the Bollywood being in attendance.




Shubh Vivah will keep eye on every moment of this Mega Wedding and will update daily....stay tuned for Mega Wedding 2012.....It's just the beginning...!!

We wish Happy Sangeet to Ram & Upasana....may they have blast tonight...!

Happy Wedding!!

Mega Marriage of the year...2012


Mega Marriage



Chiranjeevi Son Ram Charan Teja is finally set to ring the wedding bells. Ram Charan Teja the Magadheera hero will be tying the knot with Upasana the granddaughter of  Pratap C Reddy of Apollo Hospitals. Now she is the Vice President of Apollo Philanthropy & Editor of B-Positive magazine.
Actually it was an arranged kind of  love marriage; Rama Charan and Upsana who where staying as love birds during their college days waited for their parents approval all these days and now they have broken the secret to the public.



The Apollo family is spending heavily on the preparation for the grand wedding event. Reports suggest that the centrally air-conditioned venue will be decorated in white, adorned with crystal décor imported from UK and chandeliers from China. The mandap will be done up in a traditional style and the food courts will have the Balinese look. 

However, the marriage function of 
Rama Charan  will take place at Upasana's farmhouse near Himayatsagar. Art director Anand Sai, a close associate of Chiranjeevi is designing the wedding venue at Upasna's farmhouse and also the venue for the reception that Chiru is hosting on the night of the wedding day on June 13-2012 in Hyderabad.



And this time around, the security for the wedding and other ceremonies is going to be foolproof and outsiders will not even be able to get a glimpse of the goings on inside. Both families are taking utmost care when inviting guests. There were a few security lapses at the time of the engagement. Uninvited guests, who managed to procure a swipe card, were able to find their way in, but with this new hi-tech swipe card, impersonators using other people's invitations will get detected.

Happy Wedding!!
