Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar are set to tie the knot today, February 19, and we can’t keep calm. The couple will have a simple wedding ceremony that includes self-written vows, according to reports. Farhan and Shibani will reportedly have a court marriage on February 21, following which they will host a reception for their celebrity friends.
The intimate wedding ceremony will take place in Khandala where Farhan Akhtar’s father, Javed Akhtar, has a farmhouse. As per the latest updates, Farhan and Shibani’s wedding guests have been asked to arrive by noon today. The celebrations will not have more than 50 guests, according to ETimes. The couple will exchange vows, instead of a traditional Maharashtrian wedding ceremony or a nikah.
Their confirmed wedding guest list includes Meiyang Chang, Gaurav Kapoor, Samir Kochar, Monica Dogra, Ritesh Sidwani, and Rhea Chakraborty, as per India Today.in.
Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar kicked off their wedding festivities with the Mehendi ceremony in Mumbai on Thursday. The venue for the event was Farhan’s Mumbai home and the function was attended by Shabana Azmi, Shibani’s sister Anusha Dandekar, Rhea Chakraborty, and Amrita Arora, among others.
Shibani, who opted for a yellow outfit for the function, danced her heart out with her friends and family members. She grooved to Ranveer Singh’s ‘Aankh Marey’ song from the film Simmba. On the other hand, Anusha Dandekar and Rhea Chakraborty performed on ‘Mehendi Laga Ke Rakhna’ song from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.
Earlier this week, Farhan had a blast at his bachelor party. Taking to Instagram, Farhan shared a picture with his friends. In the photo, the groom-to-be posed with his close friends, including Ritesh Sidhwani and Shakeel Ladak.
A couple of days ago, Farhan’s mother Honey Irani opened up about her equation with Shibani. She told Bombay Times about how Shibani and Farhan are total foodies and since both of them are health freaks and follow a diet rigorously, on Sundays they visit her and have the special nawabi keema and guacamole made by her. Honey called Shibani a ‘lovely child’ and heaped praises on her, saying that she is ‘so beautiful and is extremely respectful towards others’.
