NTR is to marry a minor. Awesome. What next? Tarak will marry a nine year old? In real Telugu movie style, it is shocking to see Jr.NTR who is from one of the most powerful families in AP, coolly announced what is obviously a marriage of convenience. Just a few days ago, on the 24th to be precise, Times published an interview in which he stated (‘on cue’, as the interviewer noted) that he has neither time for romance nor marriage. “I am too busy with my first love — acting — for now.” Of course, the girl, Pranathi’s father Narne Srinivas, owner of Studio N Channel and Nara Chandra Babu Naidu would have been discussing about this for long enough, but if Jr NTR can turn the tables and announce his marriage out of the blue to a girl not yet eighteen, I got one question. Does she know?

A case has been filed against Jr NTR about the minor issue early today. NCR stepped in heartily and swatted it away claiming that Pranathi will turn eighteen by the time of the marriage in May. She is in Intermediate second year, eight years younger to Jr. NTR. I can think of one reason why Jr. NTR is marrying her…the hundreds of crores worth property her father owns near and one reason why she is marrying him…she has no choice.
