Thiruvananthapuram, Aug 21 (IANS): Malayalam actors Fahad Fazil and Nazriya Nasim got married here Thursday.

Celebrities and dignitaries attended the 'nikaah'. The entry to the venue was only by invitation and as a result fans and the media were left disappointed.

Nazriya is from the state capital, while Fahad hails from Alappuzha. The two got engaged early this year.

Fahad, the son of director Fazil, made his debut as a child artiste with 1992 release "Pappayude Swantham Appoos" and a decade later he entered filmdom as a hero in his dad's film "Kaiyethum Doorath", but it bombed at the box office. Soon after his first film's fiasco, he moved to the US for higher studies.

In 2009, he made a comeback and churned out a string of hits like “Akam”, “Chaappa Kurishu”, “22 Female Kottayam”, “Diamond Necklace” and “Annayum Rasoolum”.

Nazriya too started her acting career as a child artist with director Blessy's "Palunku" in 2006 and turned into a lead actress with "Maad Dad" and later featured in films like "Neram" and "Naiyaandi".
