Rohan Murty, son of NR Narayana Murthy and Sudha Murty, married Aparna Krishnan in a private ceremony in Bengaluru on Monday. The couple decided to go for an intimate setting instead of a big wedding and took their wedding vows surrounded by family and friends.
The wedding was followed by a reception at the same hotel venue in the city.
The couple, who met through common friends, knew each other for three years before they decided to take the big step.
