Harikrishna invites Babu to Tarak wedding

Nandamuri Harikrishna, the beaming father-of-the-groom armed with invitation cards of actor Junior NTR with Lakshmi Pranathi forthcoming marriage, called on Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday, to invite him to what is believed would be one of the ‘costliest’ wedding ceremonies in the state.

An equally beaming Mr Naidu received Mr Harikrishna and Junior NTR at his residence in Jubilee Hills and graciously accepted the invitation. Mr Naidu assured Mr Harikrishna, who is also his brother-in-law, that the Nara family will ensure that the festivities would be memorable.

Mr Harikrishna’s visit to Mr Naidu’s residence is part of his decision to personally invite close relatives and friends to the widely-anticipated wedding.

For the political watchers, the personal visit by Mr Harikrishna will go a long way to bring a thaw in the cold vibes which had settled between the two elders of both the families. The reported rift is believed to have been sprouted by the possible successor to the TDP chief.

The TDP chief is related to both Junior NTR and the father of the bride-to-be Narne Srinivasa Rao.

The countdown to the wedding began on February 13 at 8.05 with the elders of both the families gathering at the residence of the bride-to-be to write the ‘Lagna Patrika’.

The marriage will be solemnized at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC) on May 5.

The Nandamuri and Narne families are planning to celebrate this occasion like never before and it is widely believe that no expense would be spared in the arrangements. The guests’ list is likely to include the who-is-who of Indian politics besides film and sports personalities.
