There were times when elders in the family used to pick girls within their near-by family circles, check the horoscopes, arrange Pelli Choopulu and finally go for marriage of their off springs. Times have changed completely and not even one of the above mentioned steps have become mandatory. In the name of liberty and freedom in life style, off late youngsters are finding their life partners on own without the involvement of parents or grandparents, if alive.
This subject is elaborately discussed now because Akkineni Nagarjuna and Amala are relieved from a major burden because Naga Chaitanya and Akhil finalized their life partners without giving much of the homework for parents. With Chaitu said to be in a live-in relation with heroine Samanta and Akhil openly expressed of being in romantic relation with a city based fashion designer Shriya Bhupal means wedding bells are soon to ring in Akkineni family.
Going by the mindset of Nagarjuna and Amala, most probably there won’t be any cross discussions on either of these marriages. Being a responsible father and mother, it is basic duty to see their sons settled in life. Marriage is nothing less than a life-long settlement… isn’t it?
