To this, Kriti reshared the post and in reply to Karan, wrote, “Haha.. you’re the best poser who needs absolutely no support @karanjohar. Happy to be a part of this memory.”

The picture shared by Karan, features Kriti Sanon standing beside Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda, while Karan Johar is seen standing in between the couple.

As part of the wedding celebration, the two even visited the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam temple in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, to seek blessings for their new journey ahead.

While they were there, the couple also distributed sweets to the crowd gathered outside the temple.

Talking about the couple's Hyderabad reception, it was attended by some prominent names, such as Megastar Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Ram Charan, Allu Arjun, Ravi Teja, Mahesh Babu’s wife Namrata Shirodkar, and Radhika Sarathkumar, attended the grand function, along with some other celebs from the guestlist.
