BJP MP Tejasvi Surya ties the knot with Carnatic singer Sivasri Skandaprasad in Bengaluru

The wedding was attended by several political leaders, including BJP figures Annamalai, Pratap Simha, Amit Malaviya, BY Vijayendra, and Union Minister V Somanna.

Photos from the ceremony, shared on social media, showed Skandaprasad in a yellow Kanchipuram silk saree paired with gold jewellery, while Surya donned a white and gold ensemble.

In another set of images, she was seen wearing a red-maroon saree, while the BJP MP opted for an off-white outfit.

Skandaprasad, also a trained Bharatanatyam dancer, holds a bachelor's degree in Bioengineering from Sastra University but pursued a career in the performing arts.

She reportedly earned a Bharatanatyam degree from the University of Madras and has amassed a significant online following, with 1.13 lakh followers on Instagram and over two lakh subscribers on YouTube.

She is widely recognised for her renditions in filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ movie franchise.

Ahead of the Ram Temple consecration ceremony in Ayodhya last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had praised her singing.

Sharing one of her Kannada bhajans dedicated to Lord Ram on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote:

"This rendition by Sivasri Skandaprasad in Kannada beautifully highlights the spirit of devotion to Prabhu Shri Ram. Such efforts go a long way in preserving our rich cultural heritage. #ShriRamBhajan"
