Dhruva Sarja to have temple engagement with Prerana Shankar

After Chiranjeevi Sarja and Meghana Raj’s wedding earlier this year, it’s now younger brother Dhruva’s turn to join the club. The actor is set to get engaged to his childhood sweetheart,

Prerana Shankar

. Dhruva and Prerana have been neighbours for a long time and the pair has now decided to take their relationship forward by formalising it on

December 9

. Prerana, we hear, is a lecturer at a city college. “I’ve known Prerana for a while now, even before I got married to Chiru. She’s a wonderful girl and comes from a traditional household. In a family full of actors, Prerana will bring in a refreshing change,” says Meghana, who is looking forward to her new role as athige to the couple. “Recently, Chiru, Dhruva, Prerana and I even went ring shopping for the

engagement

and it was so much fun. I’m so excited about the festivities that will abound in our home,” she says. Dhruva, who is a well-known Anjaneya bhaktha, has chosen a theme that will be the perfect reflection of halli sogadu for his big day, and the backdrop is being designed by

Arun Sagar

. “He is an extremely ritualistic man at heart and it will most probably be a temple engagement. The wedding dates haven’t been fixed yet. It might be finalised at the engagement,” adds a source close to the family. Meanwhile Meghana adds that the family is happy to welcome Prerana into their midst. “I’m glad that this news will finally put to rest all the rumours surrounding him. We always knew what it was and now it’s out in the open. I’m so thrilled for my brother-in-law,” she sums up.
