Napoleon's son Dhanoosh gets married again in US in ‘American style' wedding months after tying the knot in Japan. Watch
Veteran Tamil actor Napoleon's son, Dhanoosh, has recently remarried his wife Akshaya, one year after their first wedding ceremony in Japan. The actor and his family, who relocated to the US a few years ago for Dhanoosh's medical treatment, as he suffers from muscular dystrophy, conducted the newlywed couple's second nuptials in 'American style'. Napoleon took to social media to share the happy news with his fans worldwide. Sharing a video of the ceremony on Instagram, the senior actor noted that the event was organised at the Sri Ganesha Temple in Nashville and was attended by their relatives and friends living in the capital city of the state of Tennessee. Officiated by a person authorised by the US government, Napoleon said, the wedding took place with the blessings of senior priests at the shrine. Having obtained a marriage license from the US government, he noted that the ceremony was held according to American customs. The eldest of Napoleon and Jayasudha's two sons, Dhanoosh, was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy at a young age. The family eventually settled in the US for his treatment. A few days ago, Napoleon celebrated Dhanoosh's birthday in grand style and shared photos and videos from the event. Dhanoosh and Akshaya first tied the knot in November 2024 during a grand ceremony in Japan, which was attended by actors such as Karthi, Sarath Kumar, Meena, Khushbu and Suhasini Maniratnam. Around 100 guests from both India and the US, as well as 50 from Japan, were present for the celebration. In a video from the ceremony that went viral on social media, Napoleon was seen getting emotional and tearing up in joy. The wedding festivities included haldi, mehandi and sangeet functions.
