The Indian entertainment and sports worlds are abuzz with the latest revelation regarding one of the most talked-about couples in recent times. Renowned music composer Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran, the CEO of the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad, are reportedly set to tie the knot. While rumors of their relationship have been circulating for quite some time, the news has gained significant momentum following a public confirmation from a close family member, while g. Mahendran, has officially broken the silence on the matter, confirming that the wedding is indeed on the cards and that Anirudh will soon be getting married.
Uncle Y.G. Mahendran Confirms the News
G. Mahendran spoke about the relationship in a recent interview with the media channel KPTV. During the conversation, Mahendran didn't hold back his praise for his nephew, describing Anirudh as an exceptionally calm, simple, and straightforward individual. He took the opportunity to extend his heartfelt congratulations to the composer. Mahendran stated, "I want to congratulate him on this occasion, while he's going to marry into a very large and prestigious family.
Praise for Kavya Maran's Capabilities
While Mahendran refrained from sharing specific details such as the wedding date or the venue, he spoke highly of Kavya Maran. He emphasized that Kavya isn't an ordinary individual but a highly capable and hardworking professional. He noted that she manages a massive cricket team like Sunrisers Hyderabad single-handedly, showcasing the business acumen she inherited from her father, Kalanithi Maran. Mahendran further added that the two make a beautiful couple and suggested that after their marriage, they should consider collaborating in the music business together.
A History of Rumors and Family Connections
This isn't the first time that Anirudh and Kavya's names have been linked. Earlier in 2025, a post on the social media platform Reddit went viral, claiming that the two had been dating for over a year and were planning to marry. The post even suggested that superstar Rajinikanth, who is a relative of Anirudh, had personally met Kavya's father, Kalanithi Maran, to discuss the relationship and move things forward. Despite these claims, the couple had maintained a strict silence regarding their personal lives until this recent confirmation from Anirudh's uncle.
Anirudh's Previous Stance on Marriage Rumors
In the past, Anirudh had dismissed such reports as baseless. He had previously taken to his social media handle X (formerly Twitter) to address the rumors, writing, "Marriage? Haha.. " While he had denied the marriage news at that time, he notably chose not to comment on the specific question of whether he was dating Kavya Maran. With the new statement from his uncle, fans are now eagerly waiting for an official announcement from the couple themselves.
