RRR singer Kaala Bhairava, actor Kavya Kalyanram make relationship Insta official

Telugu playback singer Kaala Bhairava and actor Kavya Kalyanram, whose relationship had long been rumoured, made it Instagram official on Monday. The couple, who had kept it under wraps, shared intimate photographs and notes for each other, with Bhairava writing that he hoped they would spend a lifetime together now that he had found someone to love.

In their posts, Bhairava described Kavya as his "home", while Kavya called him her "Yellow Paper Daisy" and wrote about the familiar little details that mattered to her, including him knowing she wanted a Diet Coke even after saying no.

The photographs they shared showed them holding hands, spending Christmas together, chatting, napping together and other moments from their time together.

In his note, Bhairava wrote, “Kaavyaa baabu, Spending time with you feels like sitting by the mountains, watching a stream of water. Doing stuff with you feels like a vacation you don’t want to end. Conversations with you feel like having my favourite coffee on a winter early morning. And many many more like this” He added, “For the most part, I couldn’t name that feeling. I couldn’t. But somewhere along our journey, I finally realised what it was. The feeling. It was the feeling of ‘home’. When I first met you, I didn’t meet a new person. It was like - I came home and never left it since. Excited to share this now with everyone, that we both have a lifetime of being home together.”

Kavya also shared a note with fans alongside photographs of intimate moments with Bhairava. She wrote, “Life update: I found My Yellow Paper Daisy. Some people come into our lives and make us feel like we are God’s favourite child! and when the right person walks in, rose tinted glasses are not such a bad thing.” Thanking him for making her feel like the luckiest girl ever, she added, “Thank you for lighting up my most mundane days and making me feel like the luckiest girl ever. Here’s to many many more years of you knowing that I want that Diet Coke even after I said No!”

Bhairava is composer MM Keeravaani’s son and filmmaker SS Rajamouli’s nephew. He rose to fame with his songs for Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) and Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava (2018). He made his debut as a composer with Mathu Vadalara (2019), which starred his younger brother, Sri Simha Koduri.

He was also one half of the duo that sang the Oscar-winning song Naatu Naatu for RRR, with Rahul Sipligunj also lending his voice to the number.

Kavya worked as a child artist in Tollywood in films such as Snehamante Idera (2001), Adavi Ramudu (2004) and Bunny (2005). In 2023, she made her debut as a lead actor with Balagam. She has since starred in Ustaad and will soon be seen in What’s Up Naresh.

Bhairava recently sang for the Telugu-dubbed version of Karuppu, titled Veerabhadrudu, and composed for Euphoria, Mrithyunjay and Jetlee.
