After spending three weeks in New Delhi under police protection, Telugu megastar Chiranjeevi’s younger daughter Srija and her husband Sirish Bharadwaj—whom she married against her family’s wishes—returned here on Sunday.
No one from Chiranjeevi’s family was present there at the airport to receive the couple, and Srija went to her in-laws’ house at Begumpet in Secunderabad.
The newly-married couple were in New Delhi since October 22 and they were under police protection provided by the Delhi Police following a Delhi High Court direction.
The Telugu film icon’s daughter Srija (19), a student of chartered accountancy, had created a flutter by secretly marrying Sirish (22), an engineering student, at an Arya Samaj temple here on October 17.
Later, the couple went to New Delhi in a way quite akin to a film script and approached the Delhi High Court for police protection apprehending a threat to their lives as they had married against wishes of their parents.
