Tejasvi Surya, the BJP Parliamentarian from Bengaluru South, tied the knot with renowned Carnatic singer and Bharatanatyam dancer Sivasri Skandaprasad in an intimate ceremony last Thursday. The couple hosted their wedding reception on Sunday, March 9. Ahead of the function, the BJP leader made an appeal to guests attending his reception.

The 34-year-old leader posted a video in Kannada on X along with a request message. “Sivasri & I are eagerly looking forward to see you all at our wedding reception tomorrow. However, we have a request,” he wrote on X.

He urged the guests not to bring flowers, bouquets, or dry fruits as gifts. He said 85 per cent of wedding flowers and bouquets were “discarded within 24 hours after the event. And 300,000 kg of dry fruits from weddings are left behind annually.”

“The potential charity value of such bouquets and dry fruits stands at Rs 315 crore annually,” the BJP MP added.

Dear well-wishers,

However, we have a request.
