Anupamaa Star Adrija Roy Announces Engagement to Entrepreneur Vignuesh Iyer
Adrija Roy, the talented actress currently portraying the character of Raahi in the popular television series Anupamaa, has officially announced her engagement to entrepreneur beau Vignuesh Iyer. The couple exchanged vows and rings in a beautiful dual ceremony held on January 25, marking a significant milestone in their relationship journey.
Dual Celebrations: Traditional Rituals and Festive Party
Sharing her immense happiness and excitement, Adrija revealed that the engagement comprised two distinct functions. The morning ceremony was an intimate Tamil Brahmin puja, adhering strictly to traditional South Indian customs. This private event included the exchange of rings between the couple, symbolizing their commitment to each other.
In the evening, the celebrations transformed into a lively engagement party attended by close friends, family members, and several of Adrija's co-actors from the entertainment industry. The actress expressed her joy, stating, "It is a fantastic feeling to make my relationship official with the engagement. We had two functions—one intimate traditional ceremony and one festive gathering with loved ones."
Traditional Attire and Ritual Details
The couple paid meticulous attention to their outfits, choosing contrasting colors for the morning ritual. Adrija looked resplendent in a vibrant red Kanjeevaram silk sari, complemented by exquisite gold jewellery. Vignuesh, on the other hand, opted for a teal blue kurta paired elegantly with a white veshti, creating a striking visual harmony.
For the evening celebration, they coordinated their attire as per ritual requirements. Adrija explained the cultural significance, noting, "Since Vignuesh comes from a South Indian Tamil Brahmin family, their rituals dictated specific attire. His mother guided me, and we selected the Kanjeevaram silk sari from a reputable South Indian saree showroom in Bhiwandi. All our shopping was done there. We decided to wear contrasting outfits during the day but matched our evening wear according to tradition."

The engagement ceremony witnessed the presence of several notable personalities from the entertainment world. Adrija's Anupamaa co-actors and close industry friends, including Shivam Khajuria, Alka Kaushal, Satya Tiwari, Shiwani Chakraborty, Mazher Sayed, Sheersha Tiwari, Zalak Desai, and Jatin Suri, graced the occasion with their blessings and good wishes.
Although some colleagues couldn't attend in person, they ensured their love and support reached the couple. Adrija shared, "Rupali Ganguly was in the Maldives but we spoke over a voice call, and she showered me with blessings. Our producer, Rajan Shahi sir, also sent a lovely message expressing his heartfelt wishes since he couldn't make it, assuring that his blessings are always with Vignuesh and me."

Post the joyous celebrations, Adrija has promptly resumed shooting for Anupamaa. She expressed her gratitude towards the audience for their unwavering support and love.
