Samyuktha Shanmuganathan Marries Cricketer Aniruddha Srikkanth In Chennai - First Pics Out

Tamil actress Samyuktha Shanmuganathan has officially tied the knot with former Chennai Super Kings cricketer Aniruddha Srikkanth, ending weeks of fervent media and fan speculation.

The couple celebrated their union in a simple, traditional wedding ceremony performed according to Hindu customs in Chennai on Thursday.

The pictures of the wedding have now gone viral on social media sites.

The confirmation of their relationship came publicly on Diwali when the duo shared a picture together, instantly silencing dating rumors but igniting a new wave of gossip suggesting an imminent engagement and wedding. Samyuktha had previously acknowledged the speculation with a deliberately vague statement: "Everything is on the internet. Whatever is there, is there."

Second Marriages for Both

The marriage marks a new chapter for both Samyuktha and Srikkanth, as this is the second time each of them has walked down the aisle.

Aniruddha Srikkanth, the son of veteran cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth, was previously married to Aarti Venkatesh. That marriage, which lasted just two years, concluded in a divorce between 2012 and 2014.

Samyuktha's first marriage was to tech businessman Karthik Shankar. She finalized her divorce in early 2025. In a past interview, the actress revealed the emotional conclusion of her first marriage, stating it ended after she discovered her husband's affair, making her feel "like my entire life was a lie."
