In a recent press conference, Sanam claimed that the duo had got engaged on May 12, 2019 and were planning to tie the knot on June 10, 2019. However, due to Tharshan receiving the offer to feature in Bigg Boss, their wedding plans were ‘disturbed.’ She also claimed that he asked her not to talk about the marriage for the fear of losing out on his female fan following.
