Fresh off her string of acclaimed performances, Kalyani Priyadarshan finds herself in the spotlight for reasons beyond the silver screen. The industry grapevine has been abuzz with whispers about her tying the knot with Pranav Mohanlal, her co-star from the 2022 hit 'Hridayam'.

However, these swirling rumours have been swiftly quashed by Kalyani’s mother, Lissy Priyadarshan. Lissy was unequivocal, stating that talk of marriage between the two is simply unfounded. As per sources, both families have maintained for years that Kalyani and Pranav share a bond more akin to siblings, having grown up together in close film circles.

Adding to the clarity, filmmaker Allepy Ashraf reportedly reached out directly to Lissy, who reaffirmed that there’s no romance brewing and that both families would welcome such news if it ever came true yet it simply isn’t the case. Kalyani herself has often stressed that her relationship with Pranav is deeply rooted in friendship and nostalgia, not romance.

So, while fans may love the idea of a real-life pairing between these two young stars, for now, the only thing confirmed is a strong, enduring friendship. In Tollywood, some stories are best left as heartwarming off-screen bonds.
