Arulnithi to Amala: Top Kollywood weddings

K-Town actress, Saranya Mohan is all set to enter the bond of matrimony! The Yaaradi Nee Mohini actress has announced her engagement to beau, Dr. Aravind Krishnan on social media site, Facebook. According to reports, Saranya has been quoted as saying, "It is an arranged marriage. Aravind is a native of Trivandrum and is a doctor by profession." According to reports, the family decided to go in for a quick engagement ceremony as the Malayalam month of Karkidakam was dawning upon them. "Since Karkidakam is considered inauspicious for wedding and other auspicious ceremonies, our parents wanted to conduct the engagement at the earliest,” said Saranya.
