Meanwhile in a truly filmy way, Telugu megastar Chiranjeevi's younger daughter Shirija "eloped" with her lover Shireesh Bharadwaj, a final year engineering student. They married at the Arya Samaj , Hyderabad in the morning. The marriage was also telecast live by a Telugu television channel.
However the couple looked confident although expressing fear for their safety.
"Today morning, I eloped from home and got married to Sirish Bharadwaj. I am 19 years old and he is 22. Since we are majors, we have the right to get married. We got married in Arya Samaj temple today. We have been in love for the past four years and decided to get married this year. We want support from the media and the police because of threats from my family's side," said Srija.
Troubled times..
The actor and family seemed to shell shocked by this act of the runaway bride. Chiru's most anticipated movie Shankardada which was released recently didn't do well at the box office while his son Ram Charan made his debut a few days ago. Chiranjeevi's younger brother Pavan Kalyan has been in news for a bigamy case filed against him by his wife Nandini in a Visakhapatnam court. Chiru's elder daughter Sushmita's marriage with actor Uday Kiran was cancelled at the last minute when it was learnt that the groom was in love with another girl.
Caste matters?
An India, that marches confidently towards the next century however seems to have its feet rooted in the medieval past when it comes to social events like marriage where things like religion, caste, creed ,region matter. It is interesting to note that Sirish is a Brahmin, while Srija is an OBC. This marriage has been opposed by both the families! Poor couple..
