However, the actress has cleared the air while confirming about their wedding to TV channels. According to her, her mother was not keeping well. So, they decided to have a simple marriage in the sub-registrar's office without any publicity.

Ramya Barna tells that she wanted to formally announce about her wedding only after her mother's health condition make some progress. The couple plans to organise a grand wedding reception for the film and political fraternity.

The actress has requested the media not to go overboard about the wedding as she does not want it to become an issue.

She has been part of over 20 films and Pancharangi, Hudugaru, Lifeu Isthene and Paramathma are some of her popular movies. Her delayed flick Toss is getting ready for release next week.

Coming to Fahad Ali Khan, he is a close relative of JD (S) MLA Zameer Ahmed Khan. He is a businessman, who had contested BBMP elections on JD (S) ticket from Jayamahal Ward in 2010.

Interestingly, Zameer Ahmed Khan is not aware of the marriage. Speaking to a channel, he said, "Fahad is the nephew of my brother-in-law. As they are not my immediate relatives, I do not have any information about the wedding. I only came to know about the issue through TV channels and will give a statement after talking to the concerned people."
