Music composer Anirudh Ravichander and Sunrisers Hyderabad co-owner Kavya Maran got married in Greece on November 11. Both of them chose ‘self respect marriage’ instead of traditional Hindu marriage. There were no pundits, no chanting of mantras and no seven rounds in this marriage. The bride and groom got married by garlanding each other and chain. Earlier, Samantha Ruth Prabhu had done a Bhoot Shuddhi marriage, while Dia Mirza and Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan’s wedding was also in the news for doing something different from the customs. Let us know the story of the new trend created in the marriages of such celebs – Anirudh-Kavya did a self-respect marriage, know what is this? Self Respect Marriage is called ‘Suyamariyathai Thirumanam’ in Tamil language. It was started in Tamil Nadu by social reformer EV Ramasamy Periyar in 1925 through the Self-Respect Movement. The purpose of this movement was to challenge caste discrimination, social inequality and discrimination against women. In this marriage system, marriage is considered a relationship of mutual consent and equality between two people instead of religious rituals. In this the bride and groom themselves accept each other as husband and wife. They can garland each other, exchange rings or tie mangalsutra. What are its legal rules? In India, this marriage system got legal recognition in Tamil Nadu in 1967. For this, Section 7-A was added to the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The Supreme Court has also upheld the validity of this marriage system. However, Section 7-A is not applicable to the whole of India. This is a special provision of Tamil Nadu and there is a similar provision in Puducherry also. According to this- Anirudh and Kavya got married in Greece on 11 November. In the wedding pictures, both were seen wearing garlands and chains to each other. In this wedding, superstar Rajinikanth gave the chain to Kavya, while former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin handed over the chain to Anirudh. After this both of them put chains on each other. Many guests including Rajinikanth, MK Stalin and Udhayanidhi Stalin attended the wedding. These celebs also got married with different customs – Samantha Ruthprabhu and Raj Nidimoru did the ghost purification marriage. Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru had the ghost purification marriage on 1 December 2025 at the Linga Bhairavi temple of Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore. About 30 close relatives and friends attended this wedding. Bhoot Shuddhi Vivah is based on Yogic tradition. In this, emphasis is laid on the purification and balancing of the five elements related to human body and existence – earth, water, fire, air and sky. The pendant of the goddess is also included in this ritual. In this system, marriage is not seen just as a social or family event, but as a spiritual union. Actress Jiah Manek also had a Bhoot Shuddhi marriage. ‘Saath Nibhana Saathiya’ fame actress Jiah Manek also had a Bhoot Shuddhi marriage with actor Varun Jain. Both of them got married in August 2025. Dia Mirza got married to a female priest, Kanyadaan and farewell did not even happen. Dia Mirza married businessman Vaibhav Rekhi on 15 February 2021. The special thing about their marriage was that the Vedic rituals were not performed by any male priest, but by the female priest Sheela Atta. Diya did not even perform the Kanyadaan and farewell rituals in the marriage. He believed that a daughter is not an object which can be donated. Plastic was not used in the wedding and natural and biodegradable things were used for decoration. Diya later told that it was a very special experience for her to perform the marriage rituals with a female priest. Thus he decided to change some of the old rituals within the traditional marriage. Ira Khan’s groom took out the wedding procession by running, not on a mare. Generally, in Indian weddings, the groom arrives with the wedding procession sitting on a mare, but Nupur Shikhare, husband of Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan, changed this tradition in his own style. During Ira and Nupur’s wedding in January 2024, Nupur reached the wedding venue by running about 8 kilometers wearing a gym vest, shorts and sports shoes. Nupur is a fitness trainer by profession. He made his fitness and preferences a part of the wedding procession. His style went viral on social media. He reached the venue drenched in sweat and sat on the stage in the same clothes. Alia-Ranbir got married in the balcony of their house. Amidst the big and grand weddings in Bollywood, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor got married in the balcony of their Mumbai home in April 2022. Only family and close friends attended the ceremony. Alia wore a hand-crafted ivory organza saree instead of a red lehenga at the wedding. Their marriage also brought into limelight the trend of intimate wedding i.e. getting married at home or in a private place among fewer guests. Yami Gautam had a traditional Pahari wedding at home In June 2021, the two got married in a very private ceremony at Yami’s home in Himachal Pradesh. Yami wore her mother’s saree and became a bride with a traditional Pahari Nath. This wedding set an example of having a traditional and private ceremony at home instead of an expensive destination venue.
