Sreeleela sparks wedding rumours with viral haldi photos
Actress Sreeleela has set social media abuzz with a series of photos that hint at her wedding.
The actress shared these pictures on Instagram Stories on Friday. In one of the photos, she is seen embracing a woman in pink, all smiles and clad in a pastel blue and cream saree, paired with traditional jewellery, jhumkas and a maang tikka, but what caught netizens’ attention was the subtle presence of a red bindi and a sindoor-like mark in the parting of her hair, commonly associated with married woman in North India.
The wedding speculation deepened with subsequent images. In them, Sreeleela appears in a pink outfit, her cheeks smeared with turmeric as elders apply haldi on her face. One frame captures a man, presumed to be a family member, gently applying turmeric while she beams with joy. Another image shows a tray with turmeric, kumkum and paan leaves.
The images quickly spread across social media. Some fans speculated it was her wedding or engagement, while others suggested it could be a cultural ritual.
“It is her star birthday – read about it,” one Reddit user suggested, referring to a South Indian tradition. Another asked, “But why is there sindoor in her maang? Unmarried women usually do not wear that.” A third clarified, “South Indian customs don’t have the same concept of sindoor. Unmarried women put kumkuma in the hair partying.”

Fuelling further interest is Sreeleela’s recent link to Kartik Aaryan, her co-star in an upcoming film, speculated to be ‘Aashiqui 3’ directed by Anurag Basu. The two recently wrapped a significant schedule, with Kartik posting a mirror selfie with her captioned, “Long but a very fulfilling Schedule Wrap #Diwali2025,” leading fans to buzz about their on-screen (and perhaps off-screen) chemistry.
Sreeleela has yet to address the speculation.
