The wedding bells are ringing for Tollywood hero Jr NTR, thanks to the good offices of his ‘politician-turned-matchmaker’ maama Chandrababu Naidu. Like the goody-goody protagonist of the yesteryear films, Jr NTR was said to have been instantly floored by Pranathi’s beauty and was all too shy to say ‘yes’ to the proposal.

Tarak, thus, certainly had a decent message sent across to his fans unlike some of his film contemporaries. But the moot question here is, did Jr NTR think twice at least about how old is the bride? Is she a major and a perfect match for him? Or her age was ignored simply because the proposal came from Naidu?

Pranathi is reported to be a senior Intermediate student and as per the reports the marriage will likely take place in July this year. Thus, she is not likely to be on the safer side of the legally prescribed age limit for marriage. A family clarification on this is most-needed, otherwise, the so-called ‘charm’ from this ‘arranged marriage’ is bound to boomerang on them.

The age gap of at least 9-10 years between Jr NTR and Pranathi is also the hot topic especially among the youth now. Even in Lokesh’s case, his wife Brahmani who is studying in US now, was only 19 at the time of their marriage. The age gap was hardly a barrier then for Naidu but this time around, he needs to watch his move to make sure he is not landed in a fresh quagmire.
