Bengaluru is set to witness a grand merging of politics and music on 6th March as BJP MP Tejasvi Surya and renowned Carnatic singer Sivasri Skandaprasad prepare to embark on a new journey together. The wedding reception is going to be held in Bangaluru on 9th March and will blend Kannada and Tamil traditions, reflecting the couple’s cultural roots. Their story began in Chennai, where Surya first heard Sivasri perform at a concert. However, it wasn’t until 2022, during his election campaign, that their connection deepened.
A family source revealed, “Tejasvi attended one of her performances, and from there, their conversations about music evolved into something deeper. They found a shared perspective on life and soon fell in love.”
The couple recently got engaged, marking the union of two distinct yet complementary worlds.
Tejasvi Surya
Tejasvi Surya is a two-time Lok Sabha MP from Bengaluru South, is a rising star in Indian politics. Born in 1990, he is a dynamic leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and currently serves as the national president of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), the party’s youth wing. A lawyer by profession, Surya has been known for his articulate speeches, strong ideological stance, and active engagement with youth politics.
A staunch advocate of Hindutva and a close ally of the BJP leadership, Surya has built a strong support base, particularly among young voters. His political journey has been marked by aggressive campaigning, social media outreach, and a focus on governance issues, making him a significant figure in Karnataka’s political landscape.
Sivasri Skandaprasad
Sivasri Skandaprasad, hailing from Chennai, is an acclaimed Carnatic vocalist and Bharatanatyam dancer. Despite holding a degree in bio-engineering from Sastra University, her passion for the arts led her to pursue a full-time career in music and dance. She also earned a Bharatanatyam degree from the University of Madras.
With over 1 lakh followers on Instagram and more than 2 lakh subscribers on YouTube, Sivasri has built a significant online presence, using digital platforms to popularize Indian classical music. Her devotion to music has been widely recognized, including praise from Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself. Ahead of the Ram Temple consecration in Ayodhya, PM Modi lauded her Kannada rendition of a devotional hymn, calling it a beautiful tribute to Lord Ram. Sivasri described the recognition as “an honor beyond imagination.”
As Bengaluru prepares for the grand occasion, the event is expected to be attended by prominent political figures, artists, and well-wishers. This wedding marks not just a new chapter for the couple but also a unique confluence of art and politics.
