In a surprising turn of events, Niharika Konidela, the niece of renowned actor Chiranjeevi and sister of Varun Tej, has officially confirmed her divorce from husband Chaitanya JV. Taking to her Instagram handle, the actress shared a heartfelt statement announcing their decision to part ways after two years of marriage. Niharika emphasized the importance of kindness and sensitivity as they navigate through this new chapter in their lives.
Reports about their divorce being finalized at a family court had already circulated on social media the previous night. It was revealed that both Niharika and Chaitanya had mutually applied for divorce several months ago, which was officially granted by the court. Today, Niharika made the official announcement, shedding light on their separation. While the exact reasons behind their split remain unknown, irreconcilable differences are believed to have played a role.
According to sources, Chaitanya was the one to initiate the divorce proceedings, filing the petition less than a month ago at the Kukatpally Family Court in Hyderabad. This information surfaced through alleged court documents that have been accessed by Sakshi.com.
Signs of trouble in Niharika and Chaitanya’s relationship first emerged in March when they deleted their photos together from social media and unfollowed each other on Instagram. Moreover, Chaitanya’s absence from important family events, including Varun Tej’s engagement with Lavanya Tripathi and the cradle ceremony of Ram Charan and Upasana’s daughter Klin Kaara, added fuel to the speculation surrounding their separation.
Niharika and Chaitanya tied the knot in a grand destination wedding in Jaipur in December, attended by the entire Mega family. The wedding celebrations lasted for almost a week and witnessed the presence of prominent actors like Allu Arjun, Ram Charan, Pawan Kalyan, and Chiranjeevi.
Chaitanya Jonnalagadda, who works in the corporate sector, is the son of J Prabhakar Rao, the Inspector General of Police in Guntur. While he is said to be focusing on healing and moving forward from personal challenges, Niharika has been actively engaged in her acting and producing endeavours.
The news of Niharika Konidela and Chaitanya JV’s divorce marks the end of their two-year marriage. As Niharika, known for her roles in Telugu films such as “Oka Manasu” and “Happy Wedding,” returns to the entertainment industry, she has already begun shooting for the series “Dead Pixels” on Disney+ Hotstar. The star-studded wedding and subsequent divorce have garnered significant attention from fans and followers of the illustrious Mega family.
