Sobhita Dhulipala was unable to attend the 52nd International Emmy Awards, where the Hindi-language television show she starred in, “The Night Manager,” was nominated for best drama series. But she had a good reason: She was getting ready to marry her fellow actor, Naga Chaitanya Akkineni.

Ms. Dhulipala, who recently starred in Dev Patel’s “Monkey Man,” works largely in the Hindi film industry. Mr. Akkineni, a prominent figure in Telugu cinema (also known as Tollywood), comes from a lineage of famous Telugu-speaking actors. On Dec. 4, the couple married at Annapurna Studios, a family-owned film studio in Hyderabad, India, founded by Mr. Akkineni’s grandfather, Nageswara Rao Akkineni, who died in 2014.

“It’s very sentimental to the family,” said Mr. Akkineni, 38. “There is actually a statue of him over there in the facilities, so the whole idea was to get married in front of him with his blessings.”

Approximately 300 guests attended, which Mr. Akkineni described, without irony, as “very small” and “intimate.”

“What’s expected out of an actor is more, in whatever way,” Ms. Dhulipala, 32, said.

But Ms. Dhulipala described her wedding as “pulled down.” She planned it herself in two months while also shooting a new film.
