Thrissur, Jan 22: In the presence of close relatives and friends, Malayalam actress Bhavana Menon and Kannada film producer Naveen tied the knot at Thrissur Thiruvambady Sree Krishna temple at 9.40am on Monday.

A huge crowd flooded the temple to witness the wedding and it turned out to be quite a difficult task to manage the people. Police had to block the vehicle movement and arrange additional security measures.

The couple got engaged on March 9, last year. However, they had to delay their marriage as they were waiting for a year to complete after the death of Naveen's mother.

Over 100 police officers were posted to restrict intrusion by fans.

After the simple ceremony, the two drove down to an auditorium where a feast was arranged.

Photos of the marriage are going viral through the social media including the ones of her Mehendi ceremony.

Celebrities including Remya Nambeesan, Mrudula Murali and Sayanora Philip had attended the function.

According to The Indian Express, the wedding reception will be held at Lulu Convention Center in Thrissur.

The reception is expected to be attended by people from film and politics.

The couple has known each other for over five years.

Earlier, Bhavana’s mother had told Express the actors’s marriage with Naveen was fixed by her father before his death. 

Bhavana's first Kannada film Romeo was produced by Naveen in 2002. The actress met Naveen on the set of the film and soon their friendship turned into love.

The couple got engaged in March 2017.

The couple had earlier planned to get married in 2014, but the actress had already signed and committed to act in various films during the year. The death of her father in 2015 and later in January 2016 the death of Naveen's mother, further delayed the marriage.

In a previous interview, Bhavana had said that she will definitely continue her work in movies after the marriage.

Born as Karthika Menon, Bhavana took her screen name about 15 years ago when she made her debut with 'Nammal'.

The 31-year-old actress is hugely popular in the south Indian film circuit.

Bhavana had made her Sandalwood debut with 'Jackie' and has starred in successful films like 'Vishnuvardhana', 'Bachchan' and the latest hit, 'Chowka'.

She recently shared screen space with Shivrajkumar in Suri's 'Tagaru'.

In Malayalam, she is best known for films like 'Daivanamathil', 'Chronic Bachelor', 'CID Moosa', 'Honey Bee' etc.

New Delhi, Mar 4: Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhillar, who is all set to make her acting debut opposite Akshay Kumar in Prithviraj, says she's has always been interested in history.

"While growing up, I was really interested in history, the tales of grand kingdoms and larger than life historical heroes. I had always been fascinated with the story of Prithviraj and Sanyogita and life came to a full circle for me when I was offered this film," Manushi said.

Directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi, Prithviraj is based on the life and heroism of the king Prithviraj Chauhan. It stars Akshay in the title role while Manushi plays Sanyogita, the love of his life.

For Manushi, being offered Prithviraj by Aditya Chopra was a sweet coincidence. She reveals, 'While growing up, I was really interested in history, the tales of grand kingdoms and larger than life historical heroes.'

The glamourous girl, who has been voted the most desirable woman in the recent past, reveals that she is 'blessed' to be playing the role of the gorgeous Rajput princess.

'When I was given the narration of the film, I had a smile on my face thinking that I’m listening to a story that I had been most interested about reading in school. Prithviraj and Sanyogita is a fascinating story and a beautiful chapter in the history of India and I’m blessed and fortunate to have got the opportunity to bring Princess Sanyogita’s story to life,' she says.

Manushi’s Bollywood debut is being directed by Dr Chandraprakash Dwivedi who directed the biggest television epic 'Chanakya', based on the life and times of the most influential political strategist of India, and the multiple award-winning Pinjar.

'Prithviraj' will release worldwide in Diwali 2020.

Mumbai, May 10: Nearly a month after recovering from the coronavirus, actor Zoa Morani says she has donated her blood plasma to do her bit in helping the patients currently suffering from the novel virus. The actor, who was quarantined and kept under medication in April, also urged those who have recovered from COVID-19 to donate their plasma.

"Donated my blood today for the Plasma therapy trials at Nair hospital. It was fascinating! Always a silver lining I suppose. The team there was so enthusiastic and careful. There was a general physician on standby just incase of emergency and the equipment brand new and safe (sic)," Zoa wrote on Instagram on Saturday.

She thanked the doctors for taking care of her and hoped patients benefit from the donation.

"All #Covid19 recovered people can be a part of this trial, to help others covid patients recover! I hope this works #IndiaFightsCorona. They even gave me a certificate and Rs 500. Wont lie, I felt super cool today (sic)," she added.

Zoa, along with her sister Shaza and father, producer Karim Morani had tested positive for coronavirus in April. All three were discharged from the hospital after testing negative last month.
