Telugu actor Naresh has tied the knot with his long-term girlfriend, Pavitra Lokesh, in an intimate ceremony. Naresh took to Twitter to announce a video of the nuptials. He wrote, “Seeking your blessings for a lifetime of peace and joy in this new journey for us.” In the video, Naresh and Pavitra perform marriage rituals as per Hindu traditions.
While the groom was dressed in a white ethnic outfit, the bride wore a red saree with heavy traditional jewellery. After Naresh tweeted their wedding video, fans wished the couple on the special occasion. Several of their tweets read, “Happy married life.”
However, one user asked if Naresh was setting the right example by marrying again without even being legally divorced from his earlier wife. The Twitter user wrote, “If this is 'real,' what message do you want to give to the society as a responsible citizen? You are not legally separated from Ramya Ragupathi. The divorce case is open. I'm sure Ramya can take care of her son and be a proud single parent. You should have waited till your official divorce." A few also wondered if the couple really are married or if all of this is part of some film’s promotional campaign.
Not long ago, Naresh and Pavitra's relationship made headlines when Naresh’s wife Ramya Raghupathi levelled allegations against him and hurled a slipper at him outside a hotel room, where he was reportedly staying with Pavitra. As per reports, Naresh and Pavitra Lokesh met on the sets of ‘Sammohanam’ and fell in love. They have worked together in films such as 'Andaru Bagundali Andula Nenundali,' 'Middle-Class Abbayi,' 'Happy Wedding' and 'Ramarao on Duty.'
This is Naresh’s fourth marriage, while Pavitra has been divorced once. She was in a live-in relationship with actor Suchendra Prasad till 2018, but they eventually parted ways.
