People were anticipating her separation announcement since April this year when both Niharika and Chaitanya deleted their wedding pictures and unfollowed each other on Instagram. Moreover, the rumours intensified when the actress attended the engagement ceremony of her brother Varun Tej with Lavanya Tripathi without Chaitanya. While it’s unclear when the two started a relationship, they got engaged in August 2020 in a private ceremony. The couple subsequently tied the knot in a star-studded affair in December 2020.
