Speculation is swirling around South Indian actress Nivetha Pethuraj and her fiancé, Dubai-based businessman Rajhith Ibran, as reports suggest their wedding, initially scheduled for January 2026, has been called off. The rumors gained traction after Pethuraj deleted all engagement photos and posts related to Ibran from her social media accounts. Ibran has also reportedly removed pictures of Pethuraj from his profile. Furthermore, the couple has unfollowed each other on social media platforms.
Pethuraj publicly announced her relationship with Ibran in late August 2025, sharing PDA-filled pictures on social media. The engagement reportedly took place in October. The wedding was expected to be an intimate affair with close friends and family in attendance.
The reasons behind the alleged cancellation remain undisclosed, fueling various speculations online. One rumor suggests a possible "love triangle" involving Ibran's ex-girlfriend, Julie, a former contestant on Bigg Boss. Some fans have drawn comparisons to similar recent incidents involving other celebrities, such as Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana, whose wedding plans were also reportedly called off.
Pethuraj, known for keeping her personal life private, has yet to release an official statement addressing the rumors. Similarly, Ibran has not commented on the situation. The actress's silence has only amplified the speculation among fans and media outlets.
Nivetha Pethuraj has made a name for herself in both Tamil and Telugu cinema, with notable roles in films such as Mental Madilo, Chitralahari, and Brochevarevura. Her recent absence from the screen had led many to believe she was preparing for marriage and a quieter life. The current uncertainty surrounding her personal life has also sparked questions about her future career plans. It remains to be seen whether she will address the rumors or return to acting in the coming months. Until then, fans and industry insiders alike are left to speculate about the future of both her personal and professional endeavors.
