Actor Vanitha Vijaykumar married aspiring filmmaker Peter Paul on Saturday at her house in Chennai. Photos from the private affair, attended only by the couple’s close friends and family members, made its way to the internet and have been shared widely.
Dressed in a white gown and a veil with a long train, Vanitha was accompanied by her eldest daughter as she walked up to exchange rings with Peter Paul. Pictures also showed the couple with Vanitha’s daughters, who were dressed in pale blue satin gowns as they shared cake. The actor had earlier written how important it was for her daughters to approve of Paul’s proposal. She had shared her excitement that her daughters were fully supportive of her decision to re-marry.
While there were quite a few who shared distasteful comments on social media, especially on a photo that showed the couple sharing a kiss in front of her daughters, support and congratulations came pouring in for the actor.
திருமணம் என்பது ஹலால் (அனுமதிக்கப்பட்டது) 3 வது திருமணம் அந்தப் பெண்ணின் தனிப்பட்ட விருப்பம் ஒரு ஆணை தனக்கு பிடிக்கவில்லை இணைந்து வாழ முடியாது என்று சொல்வதற்கு ஒரு பெண்ணிற்கு 1000% உரிமை உள்ளது!#VanithaVijayakumar
