Actor-producer John Abraham has tied the knot with girlfriend Priya Runchal in a private ceremony.
The 41-year-old actor confirmed the news with a tweet, “Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed 2014! May this year bring you love, good fortune and joy. Love, John and Priya Abraham.”
John, who was holidaying in the US with Priya, is said to have tied the knot in the city of Los Angeles with only family and close friends in attendance.
The actor met Priya, an investment banker, in Mumbai in December 2010. He was previously in a nine-year relationship with actress Bipasha Basu.
Confirming the news, John’s close friend director Soojit Sircar told DC that “celebrations were definitely in order”.
“John has been planning to settle down with Priya for a long time now. I’m happy that they are a couple now. Soon after John lands, we are surely in for celebrations. It is a big day for all of us as we’ve wanted John to settle down in his personal life too,” said the director, who teamed up with the actor for 2013’s hit 'Madras Cafe'.

After a disappointing ‘Aiyyaa’, Rani Mukherji is back with ‘Talaash’.
This, many experts say, will be her true comeback; after all it has been a long 17 years since she acted opposite Aamir Khan in 'Ghulam' and was immortalised in the `Aati Kya Khandala' number.
“I am comfortable working with Aamir now because I can at least look straight into his eyes. Earlier I would look at his shoes; afraid that I would fall for him if I made eye contact,“ says a smiling Rani.
“We share a great bonding. We not only discuss aspects of film making but also share personal talks. In the last 17 years, he has gone much further ahead professionally and is a much bigger star today. He f is focused and with every character that he portrays, he creates an undying impression on the audiences.“
About her role in 'Talaash' she says, “I am doing a dark film for the first time. The film is a suspense drama so disclosing even a bit might take away the suspense. The character I play has many layers."
She's worked with all the Khans - Aamir, Salman, Shah Rukh and Saif Shah Rukh and Saif -and has given super-hit films with them. “They are my seniors but all of us have become close buddies. They have been my inspiration and I always take the suggestions given by them.” We cannot help but ask her about the dismal flop that 'Aiyyaa' was. “Actors are like any other professional employees. This character was of a dreamer and I chose it because I liked it. But surprisingly, audiences did not come to watch the film. But whoever watched the flick appreciated my performance.
“No actor likes a sad Friday. But then we need to go on. If we knew the answer to what exactly appealed to the audiences then there would be no flop films.
Undoubtedly, successful films give immense pleasure. I always carry a positive note with every film and proceed to the next.”
