Priya Bhavani Shankar marries Rajvel Raj on 11.11.2026

A quiet Chennai wedding

Tamil and Telugu actor Priya Bhavani Shankar is married. She and her longtime boyfriend, Rajvel Raj, tied the knot on 11 November 2026 in an intimate ceremony at Fisherman’s Cove in Chennai, with only close friends and family around them.

The bride shared the first official pictures on Instagram on Wednesday. She wore a red saree, while Rajvel chose a white kurta with a subtle floral design. Her caption was simple: “Well, this happened! 11.11.2026.”

The low-key celebration fits a pattern many screen stars now prefer: keep the wedding private, then share a curated set of pictures when the day is done. It gives the couple control over the narrative and gives fans a front-row feel without the frenzy of a large public event.

From birthday note to wedding day

Priya and Rajvel had been together for several years, and fans had already seen glimpses of their bond. In January, she posted an affectionate birthday message for him, describing him as someone she could laugh with, argue with and stay in love with “without trying.” She also wrote, “You are my home.”

That small phrase now reads like a quiet preview of this week’s announcement. For the audience that follows her Tamil and Telugu work, the wedding is not a sudden celebrity update but the next chapter of a relationship they have watched unfold at a gentle distance.

• The date: 11.11.2026, a palindrome-style wedding date.
• The venue: Fisherman’s Cove, Chennai.
• The look: red saree for Priya, white floral kurta for Rajvel.
• The guest list: close friends and family only.

What comes next

Priya has been busy across Tamil and Telugu cinema. She was recently seen in the Telugu film Irumudi, which features Ravi Teja, and she has director Ajay Gnanamuthu’s horror thriller Demonte Colony 3 lined up for the Pongal window next year, with Arulnithi in the lead.

For fans, that timing makes the wedding news even sweeter. The glow of the announcement arrives just as she heads into a high-visibility release season, and the personal milestone will likely keep her top of mind among audiences in both industries.
