Actor
Nagendra
Babu's
actress-daughter
Niharika
Konidela
got
engaged
to
beau
Chaitanya
Jonnalagadda
on
August
13
in
Hyderabad.
The
ceremony
took
place
at
Hyderbad's
lavish
Trident
Hotel,
where
all
close
family
members
and
friends
were
present.
Uncle
Chiranjeevi,
cousins
Ram
Charan,
Allu
Arjun
and
others
gave
blessings
to
the
engaged
couple.
The
pictures
of
family
members
from
the
event
went
viral
on
social
media,
and
fans
were
surprised
with
the
absence
of
Power
Star
and
Niharika's
Uncle
Pawan
Kalyan.
Despite
being
in
Hyderabad,
Pawan
Kalyan
did
not
attend
the
engagement
ceremony
of
Niharika
and
Chaitanya.
After
noticing
his
absence,
fans
started
raising
questions
over
the
same.
However,
we
got
to
know
the
reason
behind
his
absence.
A
report
published
in
a
leading
portal
suggests
that
the
Jana
Sena
Party
Chief
missed
the
ceremony
for
a
religious
reason.
Pawan
Kalyan
has
been
observing
Chaturmasya
Deeksha
since
2003.
For
this,
he
never
steps
out
of
his
house
after
6
pm.
If
reports
are
to
be
believed,
Power
Star
performs
some
rituals
at
his
residence
during
the
evening
hours.
Earlier,
in
an
interview
to
a
leading
portal,
Pawan
Kalyan
had
revealed
that
he
has
been
practising
Chaturmasya
Deeksha
for
17
years
now.
He
said,
"I
used
to
observe
the
Deeksha
for
personal
reasons.
This
year,
I
have
done
so
with
universal
good
in
mind.
Sleeping
on
the
floor
and
eating
food
just
for
once
a
day
are
some
of
the
rituals
I
have
been
practising."
