Actor Sai Durgha Tej, known as Sai Dharam Tej, got engaged to Kiran on Thursday, 5 November 2026, at Hilton Hyderabad Genome Valley Resort. The ceremony was attended by members of the Konidela and Allu families, including Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, Allu Arjun, Varun Tej, and others. Pawan Kalyan was not present, though his children Akira Nandan and Aadhya attended, as m9.news notes.

The couple will marry on 10 December 2026 in Hyderabad, according to multiple reports. Sai Dharam Tej’s parents, Dr Siva Prasad and Vijaya Durga, and brother Vaishnav Tej were present. Friends and industry colleagues including Manchu Manoj, Navdeep, and director Venky Kudumula also attended. The actor’s next film is ‘Sambarala Yeti Gattu’.
All six outlets report the same core facts, the engagement on 5 November at Hilton Hyderabad Genome Valley Resort, the guest list from the Konidela and Allu families, and the wedding date of 10 December 2026, making this uniform coverage. The only difference is framing: m9.news and greatandhra.com highlight Pawan Kalyan’s absence and his children’s presence, while the other four outlets do not mention his absence at all. The balanced reading is that the event was a large family gathering, one guest’s non-attendance does not alter the main news. The concrete next step is the wedding on 10 December 2026 in Hyderabad.
