We already told you that although John Abraham took the plunge and officially announced his marriage to Priya Runchal now – in a very low key manner, on Twitter – he has been married to her for a while now. We first broke the news about his marriage in January of 2012, and although John had not confirmed the news, we stand by our story.
But, in order to be doubly sure, MissMalini reached out to Industrywalla today to confirm the news. She asked him to give her the dirt on John’s marriage, and he replied saying that the actor got married a while ago in Los Angeles (her parents are from Bel Air) during their year end vacation back in 2011. They have taken a similar vacation now, and apparently decided that it was the time to stop keeping it under wraps, because they have now – finally – decided to make the news public.
In fact, Industrywalla gave us another tidbit of information: It turns out that, last year, John even registered a company for himself under the name of Priya Abraham. She is also responsible for looking into his production work and making sure his production house’s finances are in order (which we reported earlier as well, in June of last year). And if you’re wondering, no, her work is not just a perk of being John Abraham’s wife – the lady comes with a financial background (she used to be an analyst at the World Bank) so she knows what she’s doing as well.
John and Priya are headed back to Mumbai as we speak, so you bet everyone will be reaching out to them for a statement at the earliest. We’ll have to wait and see whether John will speak about his marriage openly now or still keep mum. But in any case, we wish them all the best!
Update: Industrywalla tells us now that John is contemplating throwing a small party for his friends from the media some time this coming month, as he wants to officially introduce Priya to them (she has stayed away from the limelight for the most part). A date is not set for the bash yet, but John has put together a small list of top editors and journalist friends he would like at his get together.
