Myth of consent
India’s refusal to criminalise marital rape rests on a premise that is rarely stated plainly but widely enforced: that consent, once given at marriage, is permanent.
South Indian star Shriya Saran is all set to tie the knot with her Russian boyfriend Andrei Koscheev in March. The three-day-long ceremony is slated to take place in Udaipur.
When Shriya was asked about her marriage rumors, she refused to comment on that. Even she was left miffed and reacted quite angrily to the questions stating, “My life is filled with interesting stories. Let’s talk about my professional life. My private life is not for sale. I am an actor. I’m here to talk about my films.”

A source close to the actress said, “Preparations are on in full swing and Shriya has been ringing up close friends and colleagues to invite them to the wedding. It will be a traditional Hindu ceremony planned months in advance with a Holi-themed celebration, with the sangeet and mehendi preceding the shaadi.”

On the work front, Shriya Saran will next be seen alongside Nana Patekar, Ali Fazal and Taapsee Pannu in Tadka. The film directed by South actor-director Prakash Raj is a remake of the Tamil film Unn Samayal Arayil.
