The couple’s relationship had first been hinted at during Diwali, when they posted a picture together. This single image had fuelled days of speculation, particularly after months of rumours surrounding Samyuktha’s personal life. When asked earlier about the talk surrounding her relationship status, Samyuktha had responded with a brief remark, saying, “Everything is on the internet. Whatever is there, is there.”

Their marriage marks a new chapter for both. Anirudha Srikkanth, the son of cricket legend Krishnamachari Srikkanth, had previously been married to model Aarti Venkatesh. That relationship ended in divorce between 2012 and 2014. Samyuktha also experienced a highly publicised separation earlier this year. Her marriage to tech entrepreneur Karthik Shankar was dissolved in early 2025. In a past interview, she revealed that the relationship had broken down after discovering her husband’s affair, describing the experience as one that made her feel “like my entire life was a lie.”
Despite the personal histories on both sides, the atmosphere around the wedding has been overwhelmingly positive. Industry colleagues, cricketers, and fans have been extending their wishes, with many praising the couple for choosing an intimate celebration rather than a large, high-profile event.
