Lavanya Tripathi Joins Sister-in-Law Niharika Konidela on Dance Show 'Aata'
In a delightful promotional segment for the popular Telugu dance program 'Aata', actress Lavanya Tripathi made a special guest appearance. She was warmly welcomed by her sister-in-law, Niharika Konidela, who serves as a judge on the show. The two shared an affectionate hug that set a cheerful tone for the episode.
Anchor Sudheer's Hilarious Banter Creates Laughter Riot
The show's anchor, Sudheer, quickly injected humor into the proceedings. He playfully asked Niharika if she had taken 'adapaduchu katnam' (a joking reference to sister-in-law dowry) from Lavanya. Niharika responded with mock seriousness, warning that such comments could land him in jail, which elicited laughter from everyone present.
Sudheer didn't stop there. He teased Lavanya about her Telugu language skills, suggesting she might not be fluent. Niharika promptly defended her sister-in-law, asserting that Lavanya is so proficient she can even curse in Telugu, adding to the lighthearted atmosphere.
The Prank Call Moment That Revealed Family Priorities
The most memorable moment occurred when Sudheer orchestrated a playful game. He asked both Niharika Konidela and Lavanya Tripathi to simultaneously call Varun Tej Konidela, who is Niharika's brother and Lavanya's husband.
In a surprising turn of events, Varun declined his sister's call but answered his wife's phone after just one ring. Niharika reacted with visible shock and disappointment, creating a comical family drama on stage.
When Varun was questioned about his choice, he offered a practical explanation: "I was changing his (son Vaayuv's) diaper." As Sudheer continued to tease him, Varun retorted, "You're neither married nor do you have kids yet, so you don't know the problems." This witty exchange caused the entire studio audience to burst into laughter.
Background on Varun Tej and Lavanya Tripathi's Relationship
Varun Tej and Lavanya Tripathi first crossed paths during the filming of 'Mister' and later collaborated on 'Antariksham 9000 KMPH'. Their romantic journey culminated in an engagement on June 9, 2023, followed by a beautiful wedding in Tuscany on November 1, 2023.
