There were strong rumours on Sunday that Prabhu Deva, father of three children, has tied the knot with Kollywood hottie, Nayanthara in a secret place.

She said: “Even I heard about my marriage. Isn’t that funny? I’m not even in Hyderabad right now. Everyone knows that I am a very open person and when I decide to get married, I will officially announce it to the media. I believe in the institution of marriage and when it will be with the blessing of my parents. I don't need to do it secretly.
