Popular content creator Devapiya surprised all of her followers when photos of her marriage appeared on social media. Many of her followers were in disbelief after learning of the age gap between the bride and groom. This covert marriage function ignited debates on social media, as many even thought it was part of a prank. Ending all those rumours, Devu’s brother clarified the incident on his Instagram page.

Devapriya’s brother said that the family held talks with the groom and his relatives and even convinced her not to take the relationship seriously. However, according to him, Devapriya eloped with the groom one day, all of a sudden.

“I'm Devu's brother the one who handled her account, wrote her content scripts, and managed everything behind the scenes.

There have been many questions regarding her marriage, and I feel it's important to clarify a few things.

1) Why the sudden marriage?

We didn't know about it. She eloped with him from college. This was completely unexpected for us. He is 31+ and a psychologist; a 19-year-old's thoughts and decisions can change with time, and that is something he should have understood.

2) Did we force her to marry someone else?

Never-not even once. Our only concern was her education and her future. We wanted her to complete her studies, build a career, and have a better life.

She is just 19, and he is 31. That is not the right age for her to marry. Her life had only just begun. She needed time to grow, study, and become independent.

He proposed to her when she was only 17 years old, which means he was 29 at that time. Can a 29-year-old man proposing to a plus-two student really be called love? How can a grown man be attracted to such a young girl?

I built my sister to this level. There is no need to hate her. Whatever happens from now on is nothing of our concern. It is her life, and she will live it according to her wish. It was needed from our side to give clarity on the issue.”
