Everyone knows that
Prabhas' family is also looking for a suitable match for him. Earlier this year, Prabhas' uncle had said that Prabhas may get married by the end of 2018. Though, he added that they are still looking for Prabhas' bride-to-be. It was earlier reported that Prabhas is dating (and may get married to) his

he's known Anushka for more than nine years as they are family friends and that they had decided long ago that they'll 'never let dating rumours about them do the rounds.'
Prabhas, who has once received 6,000 marriage proposals (he rejected all due to work commitments), is currently filming
Saaho, which is being made in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi simultaneously. The film also stars Shraddha Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Mandira Bedi.
