Chennai: An old interview of music composer Anirudh Ravichander has resurfaced online amid reports of his wedding to Sunrisers Hyderabad CEO Kavya Maran, drawing attention to a candid revelation about his first romantic experience.
In the interview, Anirudh recalled proposing to a girl during his school days, only for the relationship to end within three hours. His humorous account of the brief romance has caught the attention of fans as the composer makes headlines over his reported wedding celebrations with Kavya.
“I proposed to a girl when I was in school. But the affair ended just after three hours,” Anirudh recalled, speaking about his first experience of romance.
According to Filmibeat, the composer shared the anecdote in an interview during the early stages of his career. He also spoke about receiving proposals after gaining recognition in the film industry, acknowledging that his growing popularity as a music composer had brought him increased attention.
Anirudh opens up about school days
During the same interview, Anirudh spoke about his childhood, school life and the beginnings of his interest in music.
He said his parents noticed his inclination towards music and enrolled him in music classes. However, they did not initially send him for lessons with the specific intention of making him a music director. His interest gradually developed into a professional career that would eventually make him one of the prominent composers in the Tamil film industry.
Recalling his school days, Anirudh described himself as a quiet student until Class 8. He said he became somewhat mischievous in the years that followed but continued to perform well academically.
His recollections offer a glimpse into the life of the composer before he became a familiar name in Indian cinema. The resurfaced interview has also given fans an opportunity to revisit his early experiences and personality beyond his musical achievements.
‘Why This Kolaveri Di’ changed his career
Anirudh made his debut as a film composer with the 2012 Tamil film 3, directed by Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth and starring Dhanush and Shruti Haasan.
The film’s song Why This Kolaveri Di became a massive internet sensation even before the film’s release. Its unusual lyrics, catchy tune and distinctive presentation helped it reach audiences across India and beyond, bringing Anirudh widespread recognition at a young age.
The success of the song proved to be a major turning point in his career. He went on to compose music for several prominent Tamil films and establish himself as one of the industry’s sought-after music directors.
Over the years, Anirudh has collaborated with leading actors and filmmakers, including Rajinikanth, Vijay and Kamal Haasan. His notable projects include Vikram, Jailer and Leo. He also made a significant impact in Hindi cinema with Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan.
His energetic compositions, background scores and chart-topping songs have helped him build a strong following among audiences across different language industries.
Anirudh and Kavya Maran’s wedding celebrations
The old interview has resurfaced at a time when Anirudh and Kavya Maran are reportedly celebrating their wedding in Greece on November 10 and 11.
Kavya is the daughter of Sun Group chairman Kalanithi Maran and Kavery Maran. She serves as the chief executive officer of Sunrisers Hyderabad, the Indian Premier League franchise owned by the Sun Group.
The destination celebrations are reportedly being attended by close family members and select guests. Several prominent personalities were also spotted at Chennai airport ahead of the celebrations. They included superstar Rajinikanth, former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and Leader of Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin.
The couple is also expected to host a reception in Chennai on November 21. MK Stalin has shared the reception invitation with the media.
The wedding reports have generated considerable interest among fans of both Anirudh and Kavya. While the composer is widely known for his work in cinema, Kavya has gained public recognition through her role in managing Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Against this backdrop, Anirudh’s light-hearted recollection of a school romance that lasted just three hours has become a talking point online. The anecdote offers a glimpse into his early personal experiences, even as attention remains focused on the reported wedding celebrations and the next chapter in his life.
