Why is Lokesh marriage a low-key affair?

It was rather disappointing for the Telugu Desam leaders and cadres with TD president N Chandrababu Naidu announcing that he wanted his son Lokesh's marriage with film hero Balakrishna's daughter Brahmani a low key affair. It would be a disappointing news even for the media, since they are banned not only for the engagement to be held on Sunday, but also for the marriage to take place shortly. Yet, some never-say-die mediapersons are trying their best to get the invite.

Sources say Naidu, in fact, wanted to make it a gala ceremony, but his wife Bhuvaneshwari desired that the ceremony should be confined only to the family, since she does not want Lokesh to be in the media limelight so early. It would send wrong signals to the people, as the media would definitely drag him into needless controversy. She wants that Naidu should first concentrate on returning to power and later, can think of giving Lokesh a political appearance.

At the same time, Balakrishna, too, requested Naidu to restrict the marriage only to the family members, because if the TD leaders and activists are invited, it would get the political colour. Except a few well-wishers from outside the family, including those in the film circles, the Lokesh-Brahmani marriage will only be a family function.
