Actor and model Samyuktha Shanmuganathan has officially married former Chennai Super Kings cricketer Anirudha Srikkanth, putting an end to weeks of speculation surrounding their relationship. The wedding, held in Chennai on Thursday, was a simple and traditional Hindu ceremony attended by close friends and family members.
Samyuktha radiated elegance in a gold saree paired with classic temple jewellery, while Anirudha complemented her look with a gold-hued shirt and dhoti. Photos from the intimate event quickly went viral on social media, drawing widespread congratulations from fans and industry peers.
Rumours about the couple’s relationship first gained momentum during Diwali, when the duo shared a picture together, confirming their closeness. The post ended ongoing speculation but triggered curiosity regarding an engagement and potential wedding timeline.
Earlier, when questioned about the rumours, Samyuktha had given a cryptic response: “Everything is on the internet. Whatever is there, is there,” leaving fans guessing until the official confirmation.
The marriage marks a new start for both individuals. Anirudha, son of legendary cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth, was previously married to model Aarti Venkatesh. Their marriage lasted from 2012 to 2014.
Samyuktha was earlier married to tech entrepreneur Karthik Shankar. The couple settled their divorce in early 2025. In an interview, she had opened up about the end of her marriage, saying she felt “like my entire life was a lie” after discovering her husband’s affair.
Warm wishes and blessings have been pouring in for the newly married couple from fans and well-wishers across the country.
