In Chennai, Tamil‑film actress and former Bigg Boss contestant Samyuktha Shanumughanathan tied the knot with cricketer Aniruda Srikkanth in a low‑key ceremony on Thursday.
Only family members and close friends came together for the event, keeping the celebration fairly private.
Shortly after the vows, the couple posted snapshots of their wedding across their social‑media profiles, and shared a short video of the preparations on the big day. The clip also featured Bhavna Balakrishnan, a television presenter and columnist who’s close to Samyuktha, offering her congratulations.
In her message, Bhavna said, “Sometimes opposites attract. Sometimes, similar people come together. Sometimes, ambitious people come together. Sometimes loving people come together. But if two people came together as friends and healed each other in a very special manner, that was Ani and Sam. Wishing you two a beautiful life together.”
Aniruda is the son of former England‑India cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth and is now a professional cricketer and sports commentator.
Samyuktha’s rise to fame came from her role as a police officer in the newly released Tamil movie “Madharas Mafia Company,” directed by A S Mukundan, after her stint on Bigg Boss.
She had hinted this August that she was seeing Aniruda, and in a recent Instagram post re‑introducing herself she shared, “Hi! If you are new to my page, let me reintroduce myself, I’m Samyuktha, everyone calls me Sam, Sammy, samosa, but if you are close or family then I’m Pinky. Went through a roller coaster ride with Covid, lost everything familiar or anything that felt like home and had to restart life from scratch, ( not because of Covid but during the same time frame).
“My lil bub was just about four years then … As the Latin phrase goes, Fortes fortuna adiuvat, fortune favours the brave… And as a twist of fate would have, got into Bigg Boss, and all the great moments that followed and finally, a little hope that things might actually work out for me after all.”
She added, “Five years now, couple of movie stints, lots of social media content & campaigns, and man! Life is good. More than what I would have asked for. I love good laughs, I take my fitness seriously because it powered me through my tough times, I’m socially awkward, I forget people and names easily, I stick to 2-3 close friends of mine, can’t do too many social events, very weak social battery, but I do have a wild sense of humour, that I believe I have passed it over to my son too.
“So follow me, as I laugh through struggles, fumble through life, and make fun nonsense content because life is too short to be serious and yea for sure for some cute dance reels. I weathered the storm and here I’m smooth sailing, Tune in for vibes only. P.s got a very cute Bf also Yaay! Happy endings.”
