Malavika Jayaram, daughter of renowned Malayalam film stars Jayaram and Parvathy, exchanged wedding vows with her fiancé Navaneeth Gireesh in a traditional Hindu ceremony held at Guruvayur temple on Friday, May 3. The couple’s union was celebrated amidst close family and friends, with Malavika stunning in a red silk saree inspired by her parents’ style, while Navaneeth opted for a traditional Kerala kasavu dhoti and shawl.
Jayaram and Parvathy expressed their joy at witnessing their daughter’s marriage, emphasizing the significance of tying the knot at the same temple where they were wed 32 years ago. The ceremony was graced by prominent figures from the Malayalam film industry, including superstar Suresh Gopi and actor Aparna Balamurali.
Navaneeth, a chartered accountant based in the UK, is the son of former UN official Gireesh Menon and Valsala. Malavika, who holds a Master’s degree in Sports Management from Wales, has recently pursued a career in modeling.
The wedding was followed by a reception scheduled in Thrissur, with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and other influential personalities expected to attend. Malavika and Navaneeth had announced their engagement in December 2023, with the former sharing heartfelt moments from the occasion on social media.
Additionally, it was revealed that Malavika’s brother, actor Kalidas, is also engaged and will soon tie the knot with his fiancée, model Tarini Kalingarayar.
