Bollywood Wed: John Abraham secretly Married to girlfriend Priya Runchal

(FILES) Picture taken on September 30, 2012. Indian Bollywood film actor John Abraham (L), with girlfriend Priya Runchal, received the Most Stylish Man award during the 'GQ Men of the Year Awards 2012' in Mumbai.

After a web of controversies post his break-up with Bipasha Basu, it took quite some time for John Abraham to be open about his relationship with girlfriend Priya Runchal.

And now after being haunted with speculations for more than a year, it is confirmed that John recently tied the knot with Priya at a rather private ceremony in Los Angeles this New Year.

John's dad, an architect by profession, revealed that this wedding was pre-planned and that the two preferred a simple court marriage that does not involve too many rituals and traditions. While none of his friends from the industry have been a part of this wedding, they took on to twitter to wish the actor. "Congrats @TheJohnAbraham .. Wish u and Priya all the happiness in the world!! God bless..Lots of love! :)" tweeted Sophie Choudry.

Shoojit Sircar, one of John's closest pals too wasn't a part of the wedding but was aware of the developments. He also claimed that John and Priya are private people and hence preferred to keep their wedding a low key affair.

Priya is an investment banker and financial analyst and is currently in the U.S. pursuing higher studies.
