Actor Srikanth admits to marriage with Vandana

Chennai, July 7 (UNI) Popular Kollywood actor Srikanth, who has been embroiled in a legal battle over his wedding to an industrialist's daughter Vandana, today admitted that he had married her.

''However, I would have to think before uniting with her,'' he told reporters outside Vadapalani Police station where he came to sign the register as per the court order.

''I admit that I married Vandana. However, several cheating cases against her family forced my parents to halt plans for a grand wedding,'' he added.

Earlier, the actor and his parents appeared before the Vadapalani police and signed the register.

Srikanth and his parents had obtained anticipatory bail in a case filed by Vandana against him, stating that she had married him on February 7 in Kakinada and produced the wedding photographs.

She had also filed a police complaint, seeking their help to get united with Srikanth. The court had ordered them to appear before the Inspector of Vadapalani police station and sign the register.

The actor's proposed formal wedding with Vandana was put off following a spate of cheating cases filed against her family.

However, Vandana was forcibly staying in Srikanth's house since a few weeks ago.

Meanwhile, Srikanth filed a petition in the family court, seeking divorce from Vandana, claiming that she had trespassed into his house and that she was trying to tarnish his image in the film industry.
