Manikandan
Achari,
the
talented
actor
who
rose
to
fame
with
some
notable
roles
in
Malayalam
cinema,
entered
the
wedlock.
Manikandan
tied
the
knot
with
his
longtime
girlfriend
Anjali
in
a
traditional
ceremony,
which
was
held
on
April
26.
The
wedding,
which
was
a
low-key
affair,
was
held
at
the
Tripunithura
temple.
The
couple
followed
all
the
lockdown
rules
for
their
wedding,
which
was
attended
by
the
immediate
family
members
only.
Manikandan
Achari
and
Anjali
also
set
an
example
by
donating
an
amount
which
was
supposed
to
be
spent
on
their
wedding,
to
the
Kerala
Chief
Minister's
relief
fund.
Several
renowned
celebrities
from
the
Malayalam
film
industry,
including
Mammootty,
Dulquer
Salmaan,
Nivin
Pauly,
Kunchacko
Boban,
Tovino
Thomas,
Aju
Varghese,
Joju
George,
and
others
wished
Manikandan
Achari
and
Anjali
a
happy
married
life,
both
personally
and
on
social
media.
The
audiences
too
congratulated
the
couple
and
heaped
praises
on
them
for
donating
a
hefty
sum
to
the
CM's
relief
fund.
It
is
a
love
marriage
for
Manikandan
and
Anjali,
who
are
family
friends.
Even
though
they
knew
each
other
since
childhood,
love
blossomed
between
them
only
two
years
back.
The
girl's
family
was
initially
against
the
match
due
to
the
actor's
age
and
profession,
but
later
accepted
the
relationship.
