Congratulations are in order for Ali Merchant and Andleeb Zaidi. The couple got married on November 2, in an intimate ceremony, in Lucknow. The Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actor has shared a series of pictures on Instagram from his special day and wrote, “Happily ever after starts now.” The snippets show the newlyweds posing together for the camera. For his big day, Ali picked a white sherwani, while actress and model Andleeb looked beautiful in an ivory-hued garara set. A special note attached to the post read, “And now we can hang out forever… Happily ever after starts now. I see us not as promises but as privileges; I get to laugh with you, cry with you, care for you, and share with you. I get to run with you, walk with you, build with you, and live with you. I get to have you be the person I spend the rest of my life with. I get to be there for you and support you. I don't have to honour and cherish you; I get to because I am in love with you.”

In no time, Ali and Andleeb's industry friends flooded the comments section with best wishes. Singer Danish Alfaaz said, “Congratulations mere bhai…Allah bless you both.” Kumkum Bhagya actor Zeeshan Khan wrote, “Congratulations!!!
