ATLEE & PRIYA LOVE STORY

She even featured in a few short films and serials including Kana Kaanum Kaalangal. Later, she played small parts in several films including Singham.

At the same time, Atlee was writing the Raja Rani script and meeting people. Since they both were friends, Priya supported him throughout and Atlee's debut film turned out to be a huge blockbuster in 2013.

The couple were in a relationship for several years and they finally took their connection to the next level by tying the knot in 2014 in the presence of their families and close friends. Ever since then, they are in a happy space and celebrated their 8th wedding anniversary last month.
