Ek Ghar Banaunga fame Rahul Sharma is all set to tie the knot with Jaipur girl Neha Sharma on January 22. Due to a surge in COVID cases, the wedding will be an intimate affair with only a few friends and family members.
Rahul confirmed the news in a recent interview with BT and shared, “We had even thought of postponing the wedding due to the rise in COVID cases, but later chose not to change the date. The wedding’s happening on January 22 in a resort. The haldi and mehendi will take place on January 20 and sangeet will happen on January 21. Since guidelines are changing every day due to increasing cases and we didn’t want to make any changes. Plus, the hotel and caterer were already booked. There was no point in defering the wedding – at this point we aren’t sure when the situation will improve. We don’t even know what is going to happen next week, everything’s unpredictable. We wanted to make our wedding a grand affair but now it will be a low-key affair with a limited number of guests. We have a huge family, with a lot of relatives but we had to cut short our guest list, but I am not complaining, it’s better to be exercise caution and stay safe.”
He concluded by saying, “Since many of my friends will not be able to travel, I am planning to host another bash for them when the situation gets better. I am just happy that I am getting married and my friends are happy for me. Party toh baad me bhi ho jayegi. Now is the time to follow COVID-appropriate behavior and follow all safety protocols.”
