Bandla Ganesh's daughter Janani married Surya Teja Chilukuri on August 16 in Hyderabad, with several Tollywood celebrities and politicians attending the wedding. The emotional moment came when it was time for Janani to leave with her husband, and Bandla Ganesh broke down in tears as he bid farewell to his daughter.

The wedding was attended by prominent Tollywood stars, including Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, and Venkatesh. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy also attended the ceremony to bless the couple. Other notable attendees included Anna Konidela, Anil Ravipudi, Naga Chaitanya, Sobhita Dhulipala, Allu Aravind, Trivikram Srinivas, Brahmanandam, Sunil, Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas, Gopichand, and Teja Sajja.

Janani wore a gold Kanjeevaram silk saree with diamond jewellery for the wedding, while Surya Teja wore a soft pink pattu pancha and kurta set. The wedding decor featured a huge idol of Lord Balaji and a temple-themed mandapam. Pawan Kalyan, who is close to Bandla Ganesh, was not present at the ceremony due to his shoulder surgery in July.

The wedding was a traditional Telugu ceremony, and Bandla Ganesh was seen greeting guests and ensuring everyone was comfortable. However, when it came time to send his daughter off, he found it difficult to let go, holding her hand close to his chest and breaking down in tears.
