In a heartwarming turn of events, Tamil actress-model Samyuktha Shanmuganathan and former cricketer Anirudha Srikkanth have officially tied the knot. The couple said their vows on November 27, 2025 during an intimate, traditional Tamil Hindu wedding in Chennai, surrounded by close friends and family.
For their special day, Samyuktha looked resplendent in a modest yet elegant gold-coloured saree complemented by traditional temple jewellery — a look that many described as radiant and rooted in culture. Anirudha, on the other hand, wore a matching gold-toned shirt with a veshti (dhoti), blending tradition with understated charm.
The wedding comes after weeks of rumours and speculation among fans and media outlets. The pair had quietly shared a photograph together during Diwali, which earlier this month led to widespread talk about a potential wedding. That post, widely shared online, effectively ended the dating gossip.
This marriage marks a fresh start for both Samyuktha and Anirudha. For Samyuktha, it is her second marriage — she was previously married to tech entrepreneur Karthik Shankar, with whom she shares a son. The divorce was finalised earlier in 2025 after Samyuktha publicly revealed that the marriage ended because she discovered her husband’s affair, a betrayal she described as making her feel “like my entire life was a lie.”
Anirudha too comes into this new union as a divorced man. His earlier marriage to model Aarti Venkatesh, solemnised in 2012, ended in divorce around 2014.
Despite the earlier heartbreaks, friends, family and fans alike seem happy for the pair. Many have welcomed the union with warmth, applauding their decision to keep the wedding intimate and focused on love and togetherness rather than grandeur.
