Telugu cinema’s beloved couple Lavanya Tripathi and her husband, actor Varun Tej, have shared joyous news with their fans, announcing they are expecting their first child.
The couple, who tied the knot in a dreamy wedding in Tuscany, Italy, in November 2023, revealed the pregnancy through a heartwarming Instagram post on May 6, 2025, captioned, “Life’s most beautiful role yet — coming soon.”
The post featured the couple holding hands, with Varun gently clasping a pair of tiny baby shoes, symbolizing their upcoming journey into parenthood.
Following the announcement, they received an outpouring of support from the Telugu film industry. Celebrities like Rakul Preet Singh, Kajal Aggarwal, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Allu Sneha Reddy took to social media to express their joy, with comments like “Omgggg congratulations” and “Big hugs” flooding the couple’s post.
Lavanya’s last screen appearance was in the 2024 Telugu comedy series Miss Perfect, and she recently completed shooting for the Tamil film Thanal. While Sathi Leelavathi, directed by Tatineni Satya and produced by Durga Devi Pictures and Trio Studios, is in progress, it’s unclear if Lavanya will resume shooting post-pregnancy or extend her break further.
Varun Tej, who was last seen in the 2024 film Matka, is also gearing up for his next project, an Indo-Korean horror-comedy tentatively titled #VT16.
