Run away BRIDE!!!!!!

Megastar Chiranjeevi's youngest daughter, the 19 year-old Sreeja, created a furore in true blue Tollywood style as she decided to go ahead and get married to 22 year old Sirish Bharadwaj at the Arya Samaj, Bowenpally, between 9:30 and 11:00 am yesterday. Sreeja was quoted as saying that the couple were seeing each other for the past four years. Fans and well- wishers across the state were in for a huge surprise as a regional television channel telecasted footage of the wedding, setting off wide spread speculations about the marriage. By afternoon, smses were doing the rounds expressing concern for the megastar, and his family. But, Sreeja's comments were most shocking. "There is an imminent threat from my family to us and Sirish's family. We seek the support of the media and the police," she said to a news channel. From the footage that was aired on TV, it looked to be a simple ceremony, with no recognisable face around. Sreeja was seen wearing a red and gold pattu saree with no jewellery at all, just a watch and a couple of rings on her fingers. Not much seems to be known about the boy, 22- yearold Sirish Bharadwaj except that he is a student of engineering and comes from a middle class family. His father is a criminal lawyer residing in Begumpet. The bridegroom's house was found locked when visited. It is rumoured that Sirish is a close friend of P Vishnu, son of MLA P Janardhan Reddy,and that he was supporting his friend. The family has been courting controversy in the recent past, over the lawsuit filed by Pawan Kalyan's first wife. Sources close to the star however, refused to comment on the episode. "The family has been going through a tough time in the recent past, and none will comment about the incident as it would be inappropriate for anyone other than the immediate family to comment upon the episode," said a source close to the family on the basis of anonymity. Expressing surprise at the comments made by Sreeja the source added, "She has always been a quiet child, which makes it all the more surprising to hear the things she has said. She seems to be under a strong influence." Megastar Chiranjeevi, is expected to make a statement after he hears from his daughter.
