Kerala politico's son to wed actor's daughter

Rumours of a romance have been doing the rounds for some time, but it is official now -- Malayalam cinema's comedy king Jagathy Sreekumar's daughter and leading politico P.C. George's son are likely to get married soon.

Dismissing reports that his son Shone and Sreekumar's daughter Parvathy have already registered their marriage, Kerala Congress-Secular leader George says his political adversaries had been spreading "canards".

"My son Shone is practicing law while the girl Parvathy is finishing her course in law only next year. Initially, I felt that she should also complete her law. But now with unnecessary rumours being spread, I feel it is time they are married," George told IANS.

The five-time legislator said he had last month received a call from Sreekumar, who said he would like to come over for a visit.

"He said his daughter likes my son - that was when I came to know about the affair. I immediately called my son and asked him and he agreed. With things reaching this stage, I too agreed to their demand," George said.

While George recently formed his own party and sits in the treasury benches, Sreekumar is one of the busiest actors in the Malayalam film industry. He has acted in more than a thousand Malayalam films over the last three decades.
