Malayalam actor Manikanda Rajan got hitched to his girlfriend Anjali at a temple in Tripunithura, Kerala. It was a simple wedding as he donated the money saved for the wedding to Kerala Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.
The wedding date and venue were decided six months ago and the couple did not want to postpone it due to coronavirus lockdown. At the wedding, Manikandan and Anjali’s families followed social-distancing rules and norms of the lockdown.
As per a report in India Today, after the wedding, Manikanda said, “We will overcome Covid-19. We are happy to contribute to the relief fund and we aren’t upset that our wedding wasn’t a grand one.”
Actor Sunny Wayne took to his Instagram to share a wedding picture of the couple and wished them. He wrote, “Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness dear manikandan “@manikanda_rajan_ (sic).”
Manikanda also shared the same picture and wrote, “Just Married”.
Manikanda Rajan met Anjali one-and-a-half years ago. Earlier in an interview to a Malayalam entertainment portal, Manikandan said, “Only close relatives and friends will attend the wedding. My bride Anjali and her relatives also supported this decision. As the wedding was fixed earlier, celebrities from the film industry were also invited. But now the situation changed a lot. I believe, being a responsible citizen I am obliged to cancel the grand function and have a simple wedding for the safety of all.”
We wish the couple a happy married life!
