The relationship

Rumours about Anirudh and Kavya’s relationship have circulated for several years now. The speculation intensified after the two were spotted together at a dinner in Las Vegas. Neither Anirudh nor Kavya publicly confirmed or denied the relationship at any point.

In June 2025, a Reddit post claimed the two had been dating for over a year and were planning to marry. The post went further, alleging that Rajinikanth, who is related to Anirudh through his father’s family, had met Kalanithi Maran to discuss the relationship. Anirudh responded on X with the kind of casual denial that only made people more curious. “Marriage ah? lol… Chill out guys, please stop spreading rumours,” he wrote.

The speculation resurfaced earlier this year when veteran actor YG Mahendran, Anirudh’s uncle, confirmed in an interview on Kutty Padmini’s KPTV channel that the wedding was happening. Mahendran was asked directly about the rumours surrounding his nephew. He did not dodge the question. “He’s a very soft boy. I would like to take this moment to congratulate him. He is heading towards a very big wedding,” Mahendran said. When pressed on whether the reports were genuine, he went further. “Based on what I’ve been told, it’s a sure thing. They are getting married,” he said, adding that Kavya Maran was “a good match” and calling the two “a good pair.
