Bengaluru, Oct 22: Kannada superstar Kichcha Sudeep and his wife Priya have marked 25 years of marriage with an intimate celebration at their Bengaluru residence, with a video of the couple exchanging garlands capturing the attention of fans on social media.

The couple, who tied the knot on October 18, 2001, celebrated their silver wedding milestone on Sunday in the presence of close friends and family. A video from the ceremony, shared by a fan on Instagram, has since attracted attention for the couple’s affectionate interactions and the warmth of the occasion.

In the video, Sudeep and Priya stand facing each other as friends and well-wishers lift them and cheer them on during the garland exchange. Appearing shy but happy, Priya asks Sudeep to place the garland around her neck first. He obliges, following which she garlands him amid encouragement from those gathered.

Their smiles and reactions during the ceremony have become a talking point online, with fans sharing the video and extending congratulatory wishes to the couple. Several viewers have also drawn attention to Sudeep’s expression during the exchange, adding to the light-hearted moments that have made the video popular.

Traditional elegance marks silver anniversary

The couple opted for traditional silk attire for the special occasion, complementing each other in understated elegance.

Sudeep wore a beige silk shirt paired with a brown silk dhoti, while Priya chose a coffee-brown silk saree with a gold border. She kept her make-up minimal and adorned her hair with a gajra, completing her traditional look.

The intimate gathering reflected the personal nature of the milestone, with the couple celebrating the occasion in the company of their closest circle rather than through a large public event.

From a Bengaluru meeting to 25 years together

Sudeep and Priya first met in Bengaluru in 2000 through a mutual friend, at a time when the actor was still establishing himself in the film industry. Their friendship gradually developed into a relationship, culminating in their marriage on October 18, 2001.

The couple welcomed their daughter, Saanvi, in 2004. As Sudeep's career grew and he established himself as one of Kannada cinema's prominent stars, Priya remained an important part of his personal journey. Despite the actor's public profile, the family has largely maintained a degree of privacy in their personal life.

Their relationship, however, has also weathered difficult times. In 2015, after 14 years of marriage, Sudeep filed for divorce, bringing their personal lives into the public spotlight.

In 2017, the couple decided not to pursue the divorce proceedings and reconciled, choosing to give their relationship another chance. Their decision marked a new chapter in their journey together.

Nine years later, the couple's 25th wedding anniversary has brought renewed attention to their relationship, with the private celebration offering fans a glimpse of a milestone largely marked away from the public eye.

Sudeep celebrates 53rd birthday; 'Devaraaya' announced

On the professional front, Sudeep recently celebrated his 53rd birthday on Wednesday, September 2, 2026. The occasion also saw the makers of his upcoming period film announce its title as Devaraaya.

The makers released a title announcement video introducing Sudeep as Sri Krishna Devaraaya, the Vijayanagara emperor. The announcement has added to anticipation surrounding the actor's next project.

As Sudeep continues to pursue new milestones in his film career, his silver wedding anniversary has offered a more personal moment of celebration, with the garland exchange video bringing fans closer to a special occasion in the actor's life.
