THE son of famous Indian music composer Ilaiyaraaja kicked off the new year by marrying for the third time.

Tamil Nesan reported that Yuvan Shankar Raja, 35, has been following in his father’s footstep by becoming a musician in Kollywood.

For this marriage to Zafrun Nisar, 25, he held a traditional Muslim wedding after converting to Islam.

Among those who attended were close relatives of the bride and very few family members of Yuvan.

Yuvan’s previous marriages ended in divorce.
