Hariprriya and Vasishta N Simha to have Republic Day wedding?

Kannada actors Hariprriya and Vasishta N Simha, who met and then fell in love on the set of their film Yada Yadahi, recently formalized their relationship, when they announced their engagement in early December. Barring a few posts to confirm their relationship status, the duo has been tight-lipped about their wedding plans, and if it is anything like their hush-hush engagement at her house, in the presence of family only, their big day is also likely to be an intimate affair.

Reports had suggested that the two actors will have an early 2023 wedding, but last evening, the buzz on social media was that a date has been set. Apparently, Hariprriya and Vasishta are getting married on January 26 and now, it has further been revealed that the wedding will take place in Mysuru. The venue, we hear, is the Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Ashrama in the Heritage City.

Vasishta has been working at break-neck speed on his current commitment, Love Li, while Hariprriya is on a self-imposed sabbatical. Her film with Upendra, Lagaam, is the only in-production project in hand right now and that’s been on hold for a while, as the Real Star focused on completing Kabzaa and embarking on his directorial UI. The actress is also committed to do Bell Bottom 2, but the Jayathirtha directed sequel will also be delayed, now that lead actor Rishab Shetty is focusing on his next film with Hombale Films, after the success of Kantara.

Vasishta and Hariprriya’s relationship first came to light when she shared a video of her getting her nose pierced. At the time, she had said that it was long-pending wish that she’d finally fulfilled, with some reports suggesting that it was for a film role. Turns out, it was a part of some pre-wedding ritual, which, Vasishta attended. In fact, he was heard and seen consoling her as she got the new adornment fixed.
