Exclusive - Pradeep Machiraju refutes rumours of engagement with celebrity stylist Navya Marouthu; here's what he has to say

Rumours have been rife about popular Telugu TV host Pradeep Machiraju's wedding for a long time now. Recently, he was rumoured to get engaged to celebrity stylist Navya Marouthu and is all set to get married soon.
However, Pradeep in an exclusive chat with ETimes TV, refuted the rumours of engagement and marriage.
"I've been travelling, so did not get a chance to comment on this. This engagement news is also not true. I'm still happily single. I even personally do not know the designer that these rumours are claiming to be my fiancee. Yeah, my team might have purchased their outfits and tagged her on our official handles. She is being unnecessarily dragged too. I indeed feel bad for her as well," said Pradeep.
When quizzed if he has plans of getting married anytime soon, Pradeep laughed and said, "Not anytime soon. Moreover, my family is slowly recovering from the loss of my father. We will take our time. I'm currently focused on my TV shows and second film as the lead. We are working on bringing the film in 2023."
Pradeep was earlier rumoured to have married the daughter of a politician. He dismissed the rumours with his signature wit and sense of humour.
Pradeep Machiraju is certainly one of the most eligible bachelors of the tinseltown. He was also listed as the Most Desirable Man on TV by Hyderabad Times in the past. Interestingly, a TV show titled 'Pellichoopulu' based on Pradeep's swayamvar was also aired in 2018. It did not fare as expected.
On the career front, Pradeep is currently hosting the TV shows Dhee 15, Ladies and Gentleman. He also hosted the OTT talk show Sarkaar.The seasoned Telugu TV host-actor spoke exclusively to ETimes TV about the ongoing rumours of his engagement to a celebrity stylist
