It appears that Srija, daughter of Chiranjeevi, was pregnant before she got married to Sirish Bharadwaj. It was on October 17, 2007 that Srija got married to Sirish at Arya Samaj Mandir, Secunderabad. Thereafter, they went to all places in the country to escape hunting by Chiranjeevi's brothers and fans. Finally, they got settled in Hyderabad after Chiru declaring that he had all the blessings for his daughter.

Now, on July 5, 2008, Srija gave birth to a baby girl. Which means, it is not even nine months since they got married. Yet, she delivered a baby. It must be, therefore, a premature birth, or an early pregnancy before marriage. Going by the health condition of the baby, it is evident that Srija was pregnant before the marriage itself.

Interestingly, the news about Srija's pregnancy has been kept a close guarded secret. Going by the grapevine, the couple did not want it to be disclosed, as it would send a wrong message. Perhaps, even Chiranjeevi might have been kept in dark!!
