There were reports that actress, congress leader and former MP Ramya aka Divya Spandana is married. Reports said the actress got married to her long-time beau Raphael, a Portugal citizen and an industrialist in Dubai.

Now her mother Ranjitha has come forward with an explanation. She said that her daughter is not married and the news circulating is totally baseless. My daughter is not ready for the marriage right now. There is no need for her to marry in secrecy. We will inform everybody when she decides to tie the knot. I request the media not to spread rumours on it.

Ranjitha said that her daughter has broken up with Raphael. Both are busy in their respective careers and this had affected their relationship. She does not want to live in Portugal and so parted ways. But they remain good friends now, she added. Divya entered politics after quitting films.

Divya, who entered politics through Indian National Congress in 2011, contested the by-elections held in Mandya Lok Sabha constituency in Karnataka and won. She was the youngest member of the 15th Lok Sabha. She was the head of Congress' digital media, but stayed away from social media after her party was defeated in 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
