A Match Made In Heaven





A Match Made In Heaven

The latest news that has been buzzing in town lately is of the star studded and high profile engagement ceremony of entrepreneur and director of Green Chillyz chain of fast food joints, Tejeswar Rao with Odia television actor Sailaja Rao.

While the glittery ceremony was attended by the who’s-who of the city along with Ollywood celebs like Sabyasachi Mishra, Suman, Gudu, Tapasya, Anjana Das and all the artists of popular Odia tele serial  “Ama Ghara Lakhmi” to bless the couple.

Tejeswar, on being asked about how they met and about their life ahead, he delightfully tells MCL, “I had never dreamed of marrying an actress. This is completely an arranged marriage. My family liked her and sent a marriage proposal to her family. Fortunately, for us, both the families agreed and it was decided that we should meet. We were both quite nervous at our first meeting. Interestingly, I could even see her hands trembling with fear. It was only after we met a couple of times, that we could comfortably talk to each other. I really liked her caring nature. She liked me too and now we are ready to be hitched! She now wants to quit acting and help me out with my business. I hope to lead a happy married life with her.”

The young actor officially declared that she would be taking a sabbatical from acting post her wedding!

“I have always preferred arranged marriage and so I wanted to marry a man who my family would choose for me. I am happy that my family chose Tejeswar. He is a very supportive, positive and loving person,” shared Sailaja while talking to MCL about her engagement. 

Explaining more about her decision to stay away from acting after marriage, she said, “My acting career has given me a good experience. I have received a lot of good responses, love and appreciation from the audience and my fans. I can never forget my fans and my well-wishers. They would always remain in my heart. Now that I want to step into a new phase in my life, I want to devote myself completely to it as I did to acting. My in-laws are a huge family, so I need to manage time.

I think, with new responsibilities coming up, I won’t be able to give time for acting. However, I am sure my well-wishers and fans will continue to love and support me, even when I am away from the screen. I seek their blessings for a happy life.” Brothers Keshav Rao, founder of Green Chillyz, and Jayprasad Rao, another director of Green Chillyz along with media planner Pranaya Jethi, left no stone unturned to make the event a memorable one for Tejeswar and Sailaja.
