Bangalore: Karnataka's latest heartthrob, Golden Star Ganesh tied the knot with his girlfriend of two years, Shilpa Barkur at her residence in Bangalore's JP Nagar late on Monday night.

The star had originally planned a grand wedding on February 18, but owing to calls by his female fans allegedly threatening suicide, Ganesh and his family opted to change plans, leaving scores of his fans shocked.

“We are shocked. We think he married a bit too early,” a fan lamented. While another fan said, “We are happy for him and wish him a happy married life. But we did not expect this.”

The couple got married in a small ceremony, which was attended by family and close friends.

Ganesh shot to stardom with his 2007 film Mungaaru Male which broke all records, earning Rs 75 crores. His other films like Chellata and Gaalipattu were also box office hits. But is this hasty marriage going to affect his acting career? His fans think otherwise.

“No I think he has is talented and the marriage will not affect him,” a fan said.

However, not everyone was as charitable to the actor. “Hereafter no girl will watch his movies, maybe boys will go for his film,” an angry fan said.
