Telugu actor Allu Sirish has officially announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Nayanika, with the ceremony scheduled to take place on October 31.

Sirish, the younger brother of superstar Allu Arjun and son of veteran producer Allu Aravind, shared the joyful news on Wednesday via Instagram. The announcement coincided with a very personal date, the birth anniversary of his late grandfather, legendary actor-comedian Allu Ramalingaiah.

"Today, on the birth anniversary of my grandfather, Allu Ramalingaiah garu, I feel blessed to share something very close to my heart- I will be getting engaged to Nayanika on 31st October," Sirish wrote, alongside a romantic photo of the couple holding hands in front of the Eiffel Tower.

The 38-year-old actor also paid tribute to his grandmother Kanakaratnam, who passed away at the age of 94.

"My grandmother, who recently passed away, always wished to see me married. Though she is not with us, I know she is blessing us from above as we begin this journey together," he shared. "Our families have embraced our love with immense joy."

Since the announcement, fans and fellow celebrities have flooded social media with love and congratulatory messages, celebrating the happy news and wishing the couple a beautiful journey ahead.

Allu Sirish has been steadily making his mark in Telugu cinema with films like "ABCD: American Born Confused Desi", "Urvasivo Rakshasivo" and most recently "Buddy".
