Priya and Rajvel reportedly met during their college days and have been together for over a decade, according to India Today. The wedding follows months of online speculation surrounding their engagement.
The actress sparked rumours of an engagement after she shared a photograph of the two on her Instagram Stories.
Despite the constant public attention, the two kept their personal lives private.
Priya began her career as a television newsreader before trying her hand in acting. She started off doing roles in television shows before entering the big screen. Her role in the romantic comedy Meyaadha Maan (2017) was critically acclaimed, and set the stage for her career in cinema.
She will next be seen in Tamil horror film Demonte Colony 3, slated to release in January next year. Directed by Ajay Gnanamuthu, the film will see her reprising her role from the second installment of the franchise. She will also star in Maragadha Naanayam 2, opposite Aadhi Pinisetty and Sathyaraj.
