Popular actress and renowned dubbing artist Raveena Ravi has entered a new chapter in her life. She married Devan, the director of the acclaimed Malayalam film Valatty, in an intimate ceremony. The news was shared by Raveena’s mother and veteran dubbing artist, Sreeja Ravi, through a deeply moving social media post.

A Private Ceremony The wedding was a low-key affair, attended only by immediate family members and a few close friends. In her note, Sreeja Ravi explained that while it was a lifelong dream to celebrate this milestone with the many colleagues, celebrities, and technicians who have been part of her 50-year journey in the film industry, circumstances led to a quieter celebration.

An Emotional Moment Sreeja Ravi opened up about the emotional weight of the day, mentioning how difficult it was to organize the event without her late husband, Ravindranathan (Raviyettan). She shared that the wedding was finalized within a short span of time, and she did not have the emotional or physical strength to organize a grand celebration.

“Celebrating such a special occasion without my beloved husband Raviyettan left me deeply overwhelmed,” she wrote, while also apologizing to those she could not personally invite.

The Groom’s Background Devan hails from a family with deep roots in cinema and academia. His father, Sri Jayan Mulangad, is a producer and director in the Malayalam film industry, and his mother, Smt. Kala Jayan, is a retired professor from SD College, Alappuzha. His sister, Dr. Devi Jayan, is a psychologist currently based in the USA.

Future in Films For fans of the actress, there is good news. Sreeja Ravi noted that one of her biggest joys is knowing that Raveena will continue to pursue her passion for both acting and dubbing with the full support and encouragement of her new family.

The couple has been receiving a flood of wishes from the film fraternity and fans alike as they embark on this beautiful journey together.

Actor Trisha became the center of attention at the grand swearing-in ceremony of Thalapathy Vijay as the new Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Arriving at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai, Trisha looked incredibly beautiful in a deeply traditional avatar. Visuals of the actor from the historic oath-taking ceremony have since gone viral across social media platforms.

Trisha opted for a soft aqua-blue Kanjivaram silk saree featuring rich gold zari borders, paired with a matching embroidered beige-gold blouse. Fully embracing the classic South Indian festive look, she styled her hair in a sleek low bun beautifully adorned with fresh jasmine flowers (malli poo). She accessorized with a striking diamond and ruby choker, matching drop earrings, delicate bangles, and a statement ring. Before leaving her Chennai residence for the venue, Trisha told the media that she was eagerly “looking forward” to witnessing the historic moment.

Earlier, Trisha’s visit to the Tirupati temple on the day the election results were announced had sparked widespread discussions. Although the visit coincided with her 43rd birthday on May 4, rumors quickly spread that she was there to pray for the victory of Vijay and his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). Fans had also previously pointed out her subtle show of support when she shared an Instagram post featuring a background track from their hit film Ghilli after casting her vote on April 23.

Vijay’s TVK scripted a historic victory in Tamil Nadu by securing 108 seats, effectively defeating the Dravidian giants DMK and AIADMK, who have dominated the state’s political landscape since the late 1960s. Trisha’s graceful presence undoubtedly added an extra touch of charm to the cinematic and monumental swearing-in event.

KOLKATA: Marking a historic shift in the political landscape of Eastern India, Suvendu Adhikari was sworn in as the first-ever Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Chief Minister of West Bengal on Saturday. The grand ceremony took place at the iconic Brigade Parade Ground, which was transformed into a “sea of saffron” by thousands of jubilant supporters.

Governor RN Ravi administered the oath of office and secrecy to Adhikari in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and several Chief Ministers from NDA-ruled states.

A Decisive Mandate

The BJP secured a landslide victory in the 294-member Assembly, clinching 207 seats and effectively ending the 15-year tenure of the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC). This victory follows a high-octane campaign where the BJP positioned itself as the alternative for “Ashol Poriborton” (Real Change).

The new administration is expected to hold its first cabinet meeting shortly to outline its immediate priorities for the state.
