Diya G. Prahlad and Jithin Jayan during their wedding ceremony at a private hospital in Kochi on Thursday.
After a gap of four months, a private hospital in Kochi witnessed another wedding ceremony as 26-year-old Diya G. Prahlad, who was undergoing treatment after a gastro surgery, tied the knot with Jithin Jayan at VPS Lakeshore Hospital on Thursday (April 2, 2026). The wedding took place between 10:30 am and 11:00 am in the temple inside the hospital.
The wedding was planned months in advance. However, a few days ago, Ms. Diya was admitted to the hospital after experiencing stomach pain and required an emergency operation. Since the preparations were already complete, the family decided to go ahead with the ceremony. Since her condition did not allow her to travel, the wedding took place in a hospital, the statement said.
Meanwhile, relatives and friends celebrated the occasion by organizing a wedding reception at Devikulangara Auditorium in Kayamkulam. Last November, the hospital witnessed a similar event when Sharon married Avani, a native of Alappuzha, who met with an accident on her wedding day. The ceremony took place in the emergency department of the hospital.
Along with close family and friends, the hospital management, doctors and nurses also joined the occasion and stood by Ms. Diya and Mr. Jithin during the ceremony, the release said.
“Even in such a situation, everything went smoothly,” Mr. Jithin said, adding that they received everyone’s love, attention and prayers, the hospital said in a statement.
