In a surprising development that has set social media abuzz, popular Kannada actress Triveni Rao, widely recognised for her compelling portrayal of Constable Saroja in the 2018 hit film Tagaru, has entered wedlock with Biplab Kumar Deb, the former Chief Minister of Tripura and a sitting Member of Parliament for the Bharatiya Janata Party.

The news of their marriage, which remained under wraps initially, surfaced after photographs from the private event began circulating online, sparking widespread interest among fans and political observers alike.
Triveni Rao and Biplab Kumar Deb Tie the Knot
For 54-year-old Biplab Kumar Deb, this marks his second marriage. He was previously married to Niti Deb, an officer with the State Bank of India, with whom he shared a marital relationship for over two decades, tying the knot on November 17, 2001. The couple, who have two children, legally divorced in 2025 after reportedly living separately since September 2022 due to irreconcilable differences. Sources close to Deb indicate that his family, particularly his mother, encouraged him to consider remarriage.
Post their private nuptials, the newlyweds made their first public appearance in Tripura. They arrived at Maharaja Bir Bikram (MBB) Airport in Agartala on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, where they received a warm welcome from party functionaries and state ministers. The couple then proceeded to Udaipur to seek blessings at the historic Mata Tripura Sundari Temple, offering special prayers for their married life.
A grand wedding reception was subsequently held at Hotel Polo Towers in Agartala on June 24, 2026, drawing a gathering of prominent political figures, ministers, senior bureaucrats, and social personalities, including Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
Triveni Rao's Journey in Cinema and Biplab Deb's Political Career
Triveni Rao gained significant recognition for her role as Constable Saroja in the critically acclaimed Kannada film Tagaru, released in 2018, which also starred Shivarajkumar and Dhananjay. Her performance in the Duniya Soori-directed film was particularly lauded, earning her wider visibility in the South Indian film industry. Beyond Tagaru, Triveni Rao has featured in several other Kannada films, including Yuvarathnaa, Salaga, Raja Marthanda, and Shivajinagara, and has also explored opportunities in Telugu cinema and television.
Biplab Kumar Deb's political journey is equally noteworthy. Born on November 25, 1971, he served as the 10th Chief Minister of Tripura from 2018 to 2022, becoming the first BJP Chief Minister of the state. Before his tenure as CM, he held the position of Tripura BJP president from 2016 to 2018. He stepped down from the Chief Minister's post in 2022 and subsequently became a Member of the Rajya Sabha. He successfully contested and won the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from the Tripura West constituency, making him a current Member of Parliament.
