Farhan Akhtar, Shibani Dandekar will not have a nikah or Marathi wedding. Something else instead
India Today
No nikah or Maharashtrian wedding for Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar. The couple instead is going to exchange vows amidst their near and ear ones.
Contrary to speculation, Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar are not having a nikah or a Maharashtrian wedding. Instead, the couple has decided to keep the main ceremony extremely simple and make it very personal. A source close to the couple reveals, "They wanted to keep it as basic and simple as possible. The guests have also been asked to wear easy colours like pastels and whites for the wedding. There won’t be a nikah or a Marathi wedding. Instead, they have chosen to make it an intimate vow ceremony. Both have written down their vows which they will read out on the main wedding day, which is February 19."
Apparently, the couple chose not to get into the trap of having a traditional wedding to keep each other’s religious backgrounds and beliefs out of their special day. The source adds, "Those who know Farhan and Shibani can vouch for the fact that they both have put their love for each other above their last names. It would have been a cliche for them to do a nikah and a Hindu wedding. But what they have planned instead is truly beautiful."
The source also reveals that Farhan and Shibani have booked all the bungalows in and around Khandala for their guests. "Car rental services and security has been booked for the wedding. The guests will be hosted in these luxurious bungalows, all of which have pools and other amenities. Farhan and Shibani have personally ensured that the guests have a comfortable stay," said the source.
For the main ceremony on February 19, the road leading up to the house is being decorated with flowers and lighting. Around 50 odd guests are expected to attend the wedding, which includes the likes of Meiyang Chang, Gaurav Kapur, Samir Kochhar, Monica Dogra, Ritesh Sidwani and Rhea Chakraborty. Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan are also on the guest list. However, there is no confirmation on whether they will attend the wedding.
