There is no truth in the viral claim. The woman seen in the viral photograph is Sanjana, the daughter of Bandi Sanjay’s brother, Bandi Shravan Kumar.
Bandi Sanjay has only two sons. We first conducted a Google search using relevant keywords. We then checked Bandi Sanjay’s election affidavit for details about his family. The affidavit lists his two sons, Sai Bhageerath and Sai Sumukh. An official document also identifies Sai Bhageerath and Sai Sumukh as Bandi Sanjay Kumar’s dependent children.
Our subsequent investigation found that the woman seen in the viral photograph is Sanjana, the daughter of Bandi Sanjay’s brother, Bandi Shravan Kumar.
Sanjana married Donthu Rajinikanth, son of Donthu Hariprasad and Donthu Rani, in August 2026.
We examined videos related to the wedding and reception and found that the ceremonies were conducted according to Hindu traditions.
Therefore, there is no truth in the viral claim. The bride seen in the viral posts is not Bandi Sanjay’s daughter. The woman in the viral photograph is Sanjana, the daughter of Bandi Sanjay’s brother, Bandi Shravan Kumar. The wedding ceremonies were conducted according to Hindu traditions.
