In a powerful response to social media criticism, actor Allu Sirish has shut down trolls who labeled his wedding attire as “feminine.” The actor, who recently married Nayanika Reddy in a lavish Hyderabad ceremony, made headlines for his bold choice of a chunky necklace and a diamond choker.
Speaking on Saturday, March 14, 2026, Sirish emphasized that he is “self-assured” enough to define his own masculinity without seeking external approval.
Breaking Gender Stereotypes
- The Critique: Following his wedding on March 6, 2026, photos went viral showing Sirish in traditional Telugu attire accessorized with elaborate jewelry, leading some users to mock the “feminine” nature of the pieces.
- Historical Perspective: Sirish countered the trolls by pointing out that gendered fashion is a modern construct. He noted that in ancient times, Indian men frequently wore heavy jewelry and that concepts like “blue for boys and pink for girls” are restrictive.
- The “Self-Assured” Stance: “I don’t need others to dictate what’s masculine or feminine. I will dictate what I can wear and nobody else,” he told Hindustan Times. He expressed pride in using his wedding to push for a more gender-fluid approach to fashion.

- Star-Studded Moments: Viral clips showed Ram Charan sharing a warm hug with Allu Arjun, while director Atlee and other major celebrities were seen celebrating the couple.
- Personal Style: Sirish stated that his outfits were a deliberate reflection of both his personal aesthetic and traditional culture, refusing to let the negativity dampen the most special occasion of his life.
