Actress
Shruthi,
who
divorced
from
director
S
Mahendar
in
2011,
tied
the
knot
with
journalist
Chandrachuda
Chakravarthi,
the
editor
of
Lankesh
Patrike,
earlier
today
(June
6).
They
married
at
the
house
of
a
priest
in
Kollur,
Udupi
district.
The
interesting
part
of
the
story
is
that
Shruti
took
the
wedding
vows
on
the
day
that
coincides
with
her
daughter's
birthday.
Her
wedding
was
performed
by
the
chief
priest
of
the
Kollur
temple
at
the
auspicious
time
9.45
am.
The
immediate
families
and
the
close
friends
of
the
couple
attended
the
marriage.
According
to
Suvarna
TV,
the
marriage
was
supposed
to
be
held
at
Banasehwara
Venkataramana
Anjaneya
temple,
Hosanagara
taluk,
Shimoga
district.
The
initial
customs
had
begun
before
the
families
of
the
couple
decided
to
change
the
venue.
Troubles
brewed
in
the
place
when
people
were
not
informed
of
the
marriage
and
it
was
being
performed
secretly.
It
lead
to
heated
arguments
between
the
localities
and
the
families.
As
the
couple
realised
that
the
issue
was
getting
out
of
control,
they
shifted
the
venue
to
Kollur
temple.
Shruti
and
Chandrachuda
had
been
seeing
since
a
few
years.
There
were
reports
last
year
that
they
had
broken
up.
But
with
the
couple
finally
tying
the
knot,
the
rumours
have
turned
out
false.
Actress
Shruti
and
director
S
Mahender
ended
their
13-year-old
marriage
in
2011.
The
ex-couple
parted
ways
on
mutual
consent
due
to
irreconcilable
differences.
They
had
filed
for
the
divorce
in
early
2009.
The
court
granted
the
custody
of
their
only
child
to
Shruti.
However,
soon
after
the
divorce,
S
Mahendar
married
an
economics
student
named
Yashodha.
