On Nov. 11, music composer Anirudh Ravichander and Sunrisers Hyderabad CEO Kavya Maran tied the knot in a dreamy destination wedding held in Greece. The newlyweds took to their social media handles to share a glimpse of their private ceremony. As soon as they shared the adorable pictures, fans, friends, family, and well-wishers began pouring in congratulatory messages. The couple was seen exchanging matching pendants as part of their self-respect marriage ceremony, marking a distinctive approach to their union. They opted for equality and mutual commitment over conventional rituals.
Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran’s wedding was a unique celebration of love, commitment, and mutual respect. Taking to his Instagram feed, Anirudh shared swoon-worthy pictures of their private wedding celebrations. He wrote, “My once in a lifetime, for a lifetime (red heart) 11.11.” Superstar Rajinikanth, MK Stalin, and others were a part of their festivities. The exchange of garlands, twinning pendants, and rings became the talking point of the celebration.
Ditching elaborate, larger-than-life wedding rituals and pre-wedding traditions traditionally associated with Hindu weddings, Anirudh and Kavya have set the benchmark high by choosing a unique way to seal their bond.
For the unversed, a self-respect marriage, also referred to as Suyamariyathai Thirumanam in Tamil, emerged from the Self-Respect Movement introduced by social reformer Periyar E V Ramasamy. The movement challenged social inequalities, caste hierarchies, and priest-led rituals that placed religious authorities at the centre of marriage.
After Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran’s marriage in Greece, the couple’s families are reportedly going to host a reception in Chennai on Nov. 21. The celebration is expected to be a star-studded affair with guests from the realms of cinema, politics, business, cricket, and more.
