After four years of dating and keeping their relationship under wraps, actor Athiya Shetty and cricketer KL Rahul have tied the knot on Monday at Shetty's father-actor Suniel Shetty's Khandala farmhouse. Reportedly, the baarat reached the farmhouse at 2:00pm from Radisson Hotel, and the wedding ceremony took place at 4:00pm. As the couple was getting ready to enter their next phase of life together, friends and family gathered to shower them with their blessings. 100 guests were invited including a slew of celebrities from both Bollywood and Indian men's cricket world.
Athiya chose a subtle pink lehenga which was designed by Anamika Khanna. The designer said that the lehenga took 10,000 hours to make.
The duo's union was subject to constant speculations for the longest time! Pre-wedding ceremonies included a sangeet at the Shetty home in Mumbai which was lit up for the occasion. Putting an end to this, the wedding festivities began on Saturday, as videos surfaced on social media showcasing the grandeur of the farmhouse. On Sunday, a sangeet ceremony was hosted followed by a cocktail night.
According to the reports, the newlyweds had instituted a no-phone policy and also requested the guests not to post any pictures or videos of the ceremony on social media. Even mobile phones were kept away during the procession.
No matter how much of a grand wedding it was, the Shetty family stuck to their roots! Reportedly, with the view to keep up with traditions, guests were served authentic South Indian cuisine on banana leaves.
After the wedding ceremony, father-of-the-bride Suniel Shetty distributed sweets to the media outside the wedding venue, helped by son Ahan.
Some reports suggest that the couple will throw a grand reception to 3,000 guests in Mumbai soon.
A hearty congratulations to the newlywed couple!
