On Raksha Bandhan, we did 'bhaat nyotna', which is a custom where we go to our maternal house with the invitation. Due to the novel Coronavirus pandemic, we are not keeping a destination wedding. Around 50 people will attend the wedding. Engagement and wedding, both will happen on August 7. Engagement will happen in the morning and wedding at night."
Spilling the beans about their love story, she shared meeting Rohit eight years ago at her cousin’s wedding. "We met at my cousin's wedding. He was from the girl's side. My bhabhi is his childhood friend. He saw me at the wedding for the first time and liked me. We started talking in 2012 but at that time we both were ambitious. We spoke for about three to four months but it didn't work out. We started talking again during the lockdown and everything felt just right. The old spark reignited in this lockdown. While talking to each other, we realised that the feelings we had then are still there and things started to fall in place,” she added.
Her parents met his parents and their Roka ceremony took place on July 4, though the couple was set to tie the knot on November 24, however, due to the pandemic, the couple preponed the date, she said, "My parents went to his place to meet his parents. On July 4, the roka ceremony took place. Earlier we were thinking of getting married on November 24 but then we thought things are going to be the same so why not get married now and spend some time with each other."
