Telugu actor Sai Durgha Tej, also known as Sai Dharam Tej, got engaged to his longtime girlfriend Kiran on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at the Hilton Hyderabad Genome Valley Resort. The private ceremony brought together two of Telugu cinema’s most prominent families—the Konidela and Allu clans—with star cousins Ram Charan and Allu Arjun in attendance to bless the couple.
The couple exchanged rings in an intimate gathering attended by immediate family members and close friends from the film industry. The wedding is scheduled to take place on December 10, 2026, in Hyderabad.
A Family Celebration in Hyderabad
The engagement ceremony was held on Thursday morning at the Hilton Hyderabad Genome Valley Resort, a venue chosen for its privacy and space to host the extended family. The event was kept strictly private, with only family members and a select group of industry friends present.
Sai Durgha Tej’s parents, Dr. Siva Prasad and Vijaya Durga, and his brother, actor Vaishnav Tej, were part of the celebrations. The actor’s name itself carries family meaning—he changed his name from Sai Dharam Tej to Sai Durgha Tej in March 2024 to include his mother’s name, Vijaya Durga.
Ram Charan and Allu Arjun Among Star Guests
Ram Charan attended the ceremony and later shared a family photograph on X (formerly Twitter) that quickly became a talking point among Telugu cinema fans. The picture featured members of the Konidela and Allu families standing together with the newly engaged couple.
“Congratulations, dear @IamSaiDharamTej and #Kiran, on this beautiful new beginning ❤️ Wishing you both endless love, togetherness and a lifetime of happiness. So happy for both of you! #KiranTejForever” — Ram Charan on X
Allu Arjun arrived with his wife, Sneha Reddy. Other family members present included Chiranjeevi and Surekha Konidela, Varun Tej and Lavanya Tripathi with their son Vaayuv Tej, Naga Babu and Padmaja, Niharika Konidela, Allu Aravind and Allu Nirmala, Allu Sirish and Nayanika Reddy, and Allu Bobby and Neela Shah.
Pawan Kalyan‘s children, Akira Nandan and Aadhya, also attended the engagement. The actor-politician himself was not present at the ceremony.
Who Is Kiran?
Not much has been publicly shared about the bride-to-be. Multiple reports describe Kiran (also referred to as Kiranmayi in some reports) as Sai Durgha Tej’s childhood friend and longtime girlfriend. She has kept a private life away from the media spotlight, and the couple chose to keep her identity out of the public eye until the engagement.
Reports from the Daily Pioneer note that there is no publicly available information about her beyond the fact that she is described as the actor’s childhood friend.
The Konidela–Allu Family Connection
Sai Durgha Tej is the nephew of Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan, and a cousin of Ram Charan, Allu Arjun, and Varun Tej. His engagement brought together the extended family under one roof, creating a rare photo opportunity with several generations of the Konidela and Allu families in a single frame.
The gathering also included close friends and industry colleagues such as Manchu Manoj and Bhuma Mounika Reddy, Naveen Vijay Krishna, Harsha Chemudu, filmmaker Venky Kudumula, Navdeep, and producer Harshith Reddy.
Sai Durgha Tej’s Acting Career
Sai Durgha Tej made his acting debut with Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitham in 2014. His other films include Supreme, Chitralahari, Prati Roju Pandage, and Virupaksha. He is currently shooting for the action film Sambaraala Yeti Gattu, which is slated for release in 2027.
