Music composer Anirudh Ravichander and Sunrisers Hyderabad co-owner Kavya Maran tied the knot in Greece on November 11. Photos from the intimate ceremony quickly sparked curiosity online. The public noticed the absence of a priest, sacred fire, and traditional Vedic chants. Instead, images showed Anirudh placing a chain around Kavya's neck.

DMK IT Wing Secretary Dr. T R B Rajaa later cleared the air on X. Responding to a fan's query, he confirmed that the couple opted for a self-respect marriage. This non-religious ceremony prioritizes mutual consent and equality over conventional rituals.

Rajaa also shared details about the simple wedding customs. The bride and groom first exchanged floral garlands. Then, former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin handed a chain to Kavya. Superstar Rajinikanth, who is Anirudh's uncle, presented another chain to the groom. The couple exchanged these chains while loved ones blessed their union.
