Allu Sirish reacts to jewellery buzz

Days after his engagement, Allu Sirish addressed the social media chatter about the necklace. Sharing his amusement, he emphasized that chokers have a long history of being worn by men. He wrote: “Hahahaha. Our Telugu memers are too funny! Btw vaddanam is worn only by women but our Indian maharajas & Mughals wore chokers.”

He further added: “‘Chokers are only for women’ is a very western construct. It’s 2025 and high time we break free from such limiting beliefs and fully embrace our Indian style jewellery.”

Sirish also referenced the historical Khiraj-i-Alam, or Timur Ruby, one of the world’s most valuable pieces of jewellery, which was worn as a choker by emperors like Akbar the Great and Shah Jahan, and later by Maharaja Sher Singh. The East India Company later presented it as a gift to Queen Victoria in 1851.

A star-studded engagement ceremony

Allu Sirish and Nayanika got engaged on October 31, 2025, announcing the happy news on social media along with a series of beautiful pictures. The intimate ceremony was attended by close family and a few celebrities, including Allu Arjun, Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan with Upasana, and Varun Tej with Lavanya. Fans celebrated the event as a grand Allu-Konidela family affair.
