Even as news that director and producer Soundarya Rajinikanth was all set to marry actor Vishagan Vanangamudi surfaced earlier this year, official confirmation from the family never came, not until Monday.
Tweeting from her official Twitter handle, Soundarya Rajinikanth has now confirmed the news, just a week before her wedding.
On Monday, Soundarya shared a photograph of herself, dressed in a silk saree and gold jewellery, and accompanying the photo are several hashtags to confirm the news - ‘Bride Mode’, ‘One week to go’ and ‘Ved Vishagan Soundarya’.
