There has been some speculation going around about Priya Bhavani Shankar getting married to her longtime lover Rajvel Raj over the last couple of days ever since the actor shared a photograph of the two clad in traditional clothing and with jasmine garlands around their necks. On Wednesday, Priya and Rajvel confirmed the speculation. Taking to Instagram, she shared some pictures with him and wrote in the caption, "Well, this happened." While the actor did not specify that she got married, she can be seen wearing a mangalsutra in the pictures, and Rajvel shared wedding wishes on his Instagram. She also used an infinity symbol in the post, hinting at a commitment for lifetime of endless love and bond.
It was an intimate wedding ceremony, with none of the extravagance one would associate with modern celebrity weddings. Some of the couple's close friends conveyed their best regards to the two on their new journey together.
Priya Bhavani Shankar and Rajvel Raj have been in a relationship for a long time now. According to reports, the two have known each other from their days in college and have been dating for over 14 years.
On the film front, Priya was most recently seen in Irumudi, co-starring Ravi Teja. Director Shiva Nirvana's devotional film minted a gross collection of more than 250 crore, making it the highest-grossing title in Ravi Teja's career.
The actor will next be seen in Demonte Colony 3, where she will reprise her role as Debbie from the second part. Director R Ajay Gnanamuthu's film reunites Priya with franchise veteran Arulnithi, and it is scheduled for a Pongal 2027 release in theatres.
The actor is also part of the upcoming film Maragadha Naanayam 2, where she stars alongside Aadhi. The film is in post-production right now. Further, she is part of the cast for the recently announced Indian 3, directed by Shankar and co-starring Kamal Haasan and Siddharth, among others.
