The ceremony, which was held in the Club House of the apartment complex, was a very private affair with only the family members in full attendance. Very few people from the film fraternity, including directors Jacob Varghese, Pawan Wodeyar and S Narayan, wished the couple on the occasion.

The couple have been seeing each other for a while and the two decided to tie the knot after a formal consent from their respective families.

Raghu and Anu said they couldn’t be happier. Raghu said the wedding was formalised only a month ago. “I was shooting until April 19 and we fixed a date only after that,” he said.

He said he couldn’t have found a better companion than Anu. “I am a very private person who prefers to keep things low key and Anu understands and respects this side of me. Anu and I have both had our ups and downs in our respective lives and now, I think I’ve finally found someone who I can connect and relate to,” said Raghu, who termed the wedding a blessing in disguise.

Anu said their parents had given them the complete freedom to decide when and how they wanted to formalise their relationship.

“It all happened so quickly,” said Anu, still gushing in excitement. She added, “Both our parents literally pushed us to settle down as quickly as possible and not keep postponing the wedding. It was just a matter of time,” says Anu.

Asked if she would continue to act, Anu said, “I’ve always been choosy about the kind of roles and projects I have wanted to work in. Nothing has changed and I will continue to work at the same pace.” She pointed out that working on good scripts will remain her priority.

Anu, who started as a child actor in Kannada films, hit big time with films like ‘Snehaloka’ and ‘Soorappa’.

Raghu Mukherjee, a model-turned-actor, made the headlines when he won Grasim Mr International and Mr India titles. He stepped into Sandalwood with ‘Paris Pranaya’ and followed it up with hit films like ‘Savaari’, ‘Dandupalya’ and ‘Jessie’.

Chennai, Mar 12: Superstar Rajinikanth on Thursday clarified that he never aspired to become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and said his plans for politics include different heads for his prospective party and a possible government headed by it.

In his first official press conference since December 31, 2017, when he announced to take the political plunge, the veteran star also said he planned to appoint as CM, an educated youth who was compassionate and had self-respect.

With a two-leadership system for party and the government, the former would act as an "opposition" to highlight issues and would not even hesitate to "remove", apparently the head of the government, if it fails to perform, he said.

His prospective party would focus on including a substantial amount of youngsters in the age group of below 45 years while the rest would comprise retired judges and IAS and IPS officials among others.

"I myself would reach out to them and invite them," to join him, the 69-year-old actor said.

Contrary to expectations, he however, did not make a concrete statement on floating his party but called for an "uprising" by youth, after which he would make his formal political entry.
