Prithviraj's Apology for his Secret Marriage ..!

In a face to face programme, organised at Press Club here, the youth icon has sought pardon from those who feel his marriage should not have been held in such a secretive way at a Palghat resort on April 25, 2011. Prithviraj said that he and his journo wife Supriya Menon, had always wanted their wedding to be a private function, exclusive to their close relatives. Prithvi had his reasons for his quiet romance as well. He said he thought that Supriya's privacy and freedom as a journalist would have been been spoilt, if she was identified as his sweetheart. He added that both of them were equally responsible for the decision. He justified his stand on giving misleading answers to media, when querried on his affair. Prithvi said that the question posed before him was whether he knew Pratheeksha Menon, a Mumbai-based journalist. He said he vehemently denied the rumour as he had not even seen a girl by that name. Chiding away speculations that his star value and market had declined after the marriage, Prithvi said, "In fact, I am getting paid more after my marriage."
