From workout partners to life partners: Amruthavarshini actress Rajini Gowda ties the knot with fitness trainer Arun Gowda in Bengaluru

Popular Kannada television actress Rajini, best known for her performance in the hit serial Amruthavarshini and currently seen in Nee Irallu Jotheyalli, has tied the knot with fitness trainer Arun Gowda in a quiet, intimate ceremony. The wedding took place in Bengaluru on Sunday morning between 9:30 and 10:30 AM, in the presence of only close family members. The event was kept low-key and private, away from the media spotlight, as the couple preferred a simple start to their new journey together.

From Workout Partners to Life Partners

Rajini and Arun had long been the subject of speculation among fans and social media followers. Over the past few months, the duo had frequently posted fitness-related videos and fun reels together, sparking rumors about their relationship status. When asked about the rumors earlier, Rajini had clarified that she and Arun were just friends and content collaborators. “If I were married, I would have invited everyone and made it known. He is my video partner and a dear friend — nothing more,” she had said at the time. However, the quiet ceremony has now confirmed that the two indeed shared more than friendship and have taken their bond to the next level.

Rajini’s Fitness and Self-Discipline

A fitness enthusiast herself, Rajini has always been vocal about her healthy lifestyle.

Before entering the television industry, she reportedly spent up to two to three hours daily at the gym. Despite her busy shooting schedule now, she continues to maintain her fitness through regular yoga sessions before heading to sets. She has often spoken about maintaining mental and physical balance through yoga, adding that it helps her stay calm and focused amid the hectic pace of the entertainment industry. Rajini has also addressed the online negativity that comes with being a public figure. She has mentioned that she simply blocks users who post hateful or body-shaming comments, choosing not to engage in unnecessary arguments. “I don’t have the time or energy to drag things out online. I prefer peace over pointless debates,” she has said.

A Decade in Television

Rajini rose to fame with her performance in the long-running serial Amruthavarshini, one of Kannada television’s most beloved family dramas that has been on air for over a decade.

Her portrayal earned her a strong fan following and established her as a talented actress in the small-screen industry. Currently, she plays the strong and stylish antagonist Urmila Diwan in Nee Irallu Jotheyalli, where her performance has been widely appreciated. Over the years, she has also made appearances in other popular shows such as Hitler Kalyana, showcasing her versatility as an actor.

A New Chapter Begins

Fans and well-wishers from the television industry have flooded social media with congratulatory messages and warm wishes for the newlyweds.
