Keerthy and Antony's wedding will take place on December 11 and 12 in Goa. The duo have remained tight-lipped about rumours of their wedding. They are expected to make an official wedding announcement soon.

Antony is from Kochi, Kerala, and is the owner of one of the state’s prominent resort chains.

During Raghu Thatha's promotions, Keerthy was asked about her relationship status, to which she said, "I never said that I was single."

Further, she shared that the people in relationship should start by being good friends first. "It should be like give and take; if they are just two good friends who understand each other and if there's a good amount of give and take, I think that’s more than enough," she added.
