“There were just 30 of us from both the families and it was a very simple function,” said Samson.

“We are very happy that we have got the blessings of both the families,” he said.

While Samson is a Christian, Charu is a Hindu Nair. The marriage was solemnised under the Special Marriage Act.

Both have known each other since their graduation at the Mar Ivanios College, here. Charu is presently doing her post graduation.

Samson, 23, was part of the 2018 Indian Premier League (IPL) in the reinstated Rajasthan Royals team at a bid price of Rs 8 crore.
