A Growing Family of Four
Atlee and Priya tied the knot in November 2014 after years of dating. Notably, they have always shared their personal milestones warmly with their audience. They became parents for the first time in January 2023 with the birth of their son, Meer.
Earlier this year, the couple shared news of this second pregnancy with a cozy maternity photoshoot. Furthermore, the shoot included Meer and their five beloved pets. Priya’s caption at the time, “Our home is about to get even cozier,” has now come true with the arrival of their little princess.
Wishes Pour In from the Industry
The news of the new arrival sparked an outpouring of love from major stars across India. For instance, Deepika Padukone was among the first to shower the couple with love. Additionally, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Kajal Aggarwal shared their excitement. Kajal even sent a special message to “big brother Meer.” Other celebrities, including Rashmika Mandanna and Ananya Panday, left heart emoticons and congratulatory messages on the Instagram post.
Professional Highs
On the work front, Atlee continues to dominate the commercial cinema space. Following the record-breaking success of Jawan, he is currently preparing for his next massive venture. He is now working on his next film, Raaka, featuring Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone in the lead.
This upcoming project remains one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema. Therefore, while the director shapes this next potential blockbuster, he is currently taking a well-deserved break. He intends to embrace this precious new addition to his family before returning to the film sets.
