Music maestro Ilaiyaraja's younger son Yuvan Shankar Raja aka Abdul Haliq got married for the third time. He married Jaffrunnisha, a Malaysia-based designer, in a private ceremony on January 1.

The wedding took place amid close friends and relatives of the bride at a resort in Ramanathapuram district in Tamil Nadu. "It was a low key affair and no one from the film industry was present," the source told IANS.

Earlier, Yuvan had tied the knot to his childhood friend Sujaya Chandran on 21 March, 2005, but their relationship ended with divorce in 2008. A few years later, he married Shilpa Mohan at Tirupathi in Andhra Pradesh. Unfortunately, even this relationship also failed and the couple got separated in 2014.

The moment after Yuvan's second marriage news was out, there were lots of speculations on his third marriage. But the music director remained tight-lipped about it for months before his sister Bhavatharini confirmed it in October 2014.

In the mean time, Yuvan has embraced the Islam and converted to it. He has reportedly rechristened himself as Abdul Haliq.

Yuvan  is one of the biggest music directors of South India. He has composed music for Tamil, Telugu and Bollywood films.
