Screen Romances, Real Weddings: The Stirring Tales of Tollywood Couples! The world of cinema is a vibrant, colorful one, where many love stories are born and blossom. In the Telugu film industry, while many love stories enchant audiences on screen, some go beyond the ‘cut’ to become lifelong companions through the sacred bond of marriage. These couples have not only united on screen but also in real life, becoming role models. Let’s now look in detail at how their journeys began and which films brought them together.
When we talk about Tollywood co-stars who married, Superstar Krishna and Vijayanirmala are often the first couple that comes to mind. Their journey began with the 1967 film ‘Sakshi.’ They captivated audiences by starring together in over 15 films, developing affection for each other in the process and marrying in 1969. Besides being an actress, Vijayanirmala also directed many remarkable films with Krishna.

They starred together in super hit films like ‘Kiraayi Dada,’ ‘Shiva,’ ‘Prema Yuddham,’ and ‘Nirnayam.’ Their acquaintance, which began on sets, blossomed into love, and they united in marriage in 1992.

Though hero Srikanth and actress Ooha acted in only a few films together, those films changed their lives. They starred together in films like ‘Aame,’ ‘Kooturu,’ and ‘Paatabasti.’ Their marriage took place in 1997. After marriage, Ooha stepped away from films to take care of family responsibilities.
