From wedding rumours to a Greece celebration
Speculation about Anirudh and Kavya's relationship first gained traction in 2025 after a Reddit post claimed that the two had been dating for over a year and were considering marriage.
However, Anirudh dismissed the rumours in June 2025, responding on social media: "Marriage ah? lol... Chill out, guys. Please stop spreading rumours."
The speculation resurfaced in June 2026 when Anirudh's uncle and actor Y Gee Mahendra appeared to confirm the possibility of a wedding during an interaction with KPTV.
He said, "That boy is a very soft person. I hope something is stopping him, not someone. I would like to take this moment to congratulate him. He is getting into a very big wedding. Based on what I've been told, it's a sure thing. They are getting married."
With their Greece wedding now taking place, the couple is set to celebrate their union with another grand gathering in Chennai on November 21.
