Actor Nithiin got married to Shalini, his longtime girlfriend, on Sunday at 8.30 pm at the Taj Falaknuma Palace Hotel in Hyderabad. The excited groom took to Twitter to announce his wedding and also shared some lovely pictures from the ceremony.
“Mothaniki oka INTIVAADINI ayyanuu! Need all your blessings and love,” he wrote. This translates to "Finally I have become a household man", a common Telugu phrase used to indicate that a person is married.

Earlier, the actor’s team announced that the wedding will take place only in the presence of family members and a few close friends as there is a limit of 50 guests at the wedding, as per the COVID-19 safety protocols.

Marking the occasion, the Rang De team surprised Nithiin and released a fun teaser of the film. “With best wishes to our hero Nithiin and his real-life heroine, Shalini garu… here is a special gift from team RangDe to commemorate the happy occasion. A happy married life to both of you!" they tweeted.
Nithiin and Shalini have known each other for the past several years. She is an MBA graduate who studied in the United Kingdom (UK). The couple had initially planned a destination wedding in Dubai on April 15, but as coronavirus played spoilsport, the wedding took place in Hyderabad.
Nithiin is the son of noted producer, distributor and exhibitor in Tollywood, Sudhakar.
On the work front, Nithiin is currently shooting for the movie Check. He will also star in the remake of the 2018 Bollywood movie Andhadhun, directed by Merlapaka Gandhi, and another film, titled Power Peta, directed by Krishna Chaitanya.
The actor’s recent movie Bheeshma was a moderate hit. The movie starred Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead. The actor started his career with Jayam under Teja's direction in 2002.
Amid the lockdown, actor Rana Daggubati also made his relationship with Miheeka Bajaj official. The couple is reportedly likely to get married on August 8. However, there has been no official announcement in this regard yet.
Meanwhile, actor Nikhil Siddharth got married to his girlfriend Pallavai Varma on May 14, with limited guests. Producer Dil Raju, too, got married during the lockdown period.
