Megastar
Chiranjeevi,
father
of
Srija
is
yet
to
bless
his
son-in-law!
Besides
this,
what
newly
wed
Srija
has
to
face
is
the
name
of
her
husband
Shirish
Bharadwaj
being
dragged
into
a
five-year-old
kidnapping
case!
According
to
sources,
Shirish
was
arrested
in
2002
for
abducting
a
girl
in
Hyderabad.
Police
found
Shirish
with
the
girl
near
a
lodge
and
the
girl
was
16
years
old
at
that
time.
Police
returned
the
girl
to
her
parents,
who
had
lodged
a
complaint
for
abduction.
Shirish
was
arrested
and
a
case
was
booked
for
obtaining
the
custody
of
a
minor.
He
was
then
remanded
and
brought
before
a
court,
but
was
acquitted
as
the
girl
did
not
testify
against
him.
Shirish's
father
G.Ramanamurthy
told
reporters
that
he
had
advised
his
son
against
having
affair
with
Srija
after
coming
to
know
her
family
background.
He
said
after
learning
about
the
recalling
of
the
case
against
his
son,
"I
came
to
know
of
their
relationship
three
months
ago
and
asked
my
son
to
stop
it
because
of
the
difference
in
the
social
status
of
the
two
families.
He
did
not
agree."
Ramanamurthy
said
he
and
his
wife
were
staying
at
a
relative's
house
fearing
threat
from
Chiranjeevi's
fans.
Though
Srija
and
Shirish
claimed
on
Wednesday
that
they
needed
police
protection,
they
did
not
make
any
formal
request
on
Thursday.
According
to
sources,
the
couple
stayed
with
friends
on
Wednesday
night,
but
left
for
Chennai
on
Thursday.
