Lovebirds Sumeet
Vyas and Ekta Kaul have taken their wedding vows and are officially married!
The couple tied the knot, sometime back, in Kashmir amidst friends and family.
We got you Sumeet’s Haldi ceremony video, a few hours back, where the family
was seen putting haldi on the groom with much joy. And now we bring you Ekta
and Sumeet’s first pictures as man and wife.
Ekta
is turning heads in her maroon-coloured lehenga,
which she teamed up with double dupattas.
One of her dupatta is
of matching colour maroon and the other one is peach, enhacing her overall
bridal look. On the other hand, Sumeet is looking like a proper Indian groom in
his cream coloured sherwani.
It was a 3-day
grand affair for Sumeet and Ekta. The festivities started with a puja,
followed by Mehendi and Sangeet ceremony. The couple had secretly got engaged
in February whereas they confessed about being in relationship in April, just
before the release of Veere Di Wedding. We also brought you pictures
from Ekta’s Mehendi ceremony and couple’s dance video from their Sangeet
function.
Sumeet revealed
his love story with Ekta Kaul to a social media page called Humans Of Bombay.
For those who want to know how the love story of the newlyweds unfolded, here’s
how it all happened:
“I’d been
single for some time -- you know that phase where all your friends are like,
‘you’re single, doing well, don’t get into a relationship’? –well I tried, but
I was over it pretty quickly. Around then, I met her... at shows and on TV
sets, but frankly, I didn’t know how to pursue her! Then, she tweeted about my
show and we started talking -- I invited her to my play and we went out
after!
We ended up
talking for hours about acting. By the third time we met, I had a feeling she
wasn’t getting it! So I felt the need to specify, ‘This is a date okay? I hope
you know’ and she just nodded!
She’s not from
the acting community –she was discovered by chance, so for me it was like a
breath of fresh air! I’ve been surrounded by serious artists all my life...
this was so different! Even our choices didn’t match! The first movie we
watched together was La la land- I came out of the theatre emotional and she
was like eh! I thought oh no- how’s this going to work? So, when we first
started dating, I was at sea. How do I impress her? I tried telling her that
I’m kind of famous as this character, Mikesh..She was least bothered! People
used to approach me for photographs, and she’d wonder why! The next time we
met, she said she watched my entire show! I asked her how -- that was hours of
content. She said she watched it while working or getting ready. I was grabbing
my hair by the roots thinking why it’s not affecting her! But that’s also how I
knew she was with me for the right reasons!
It’s not one big
moment when you know you’ve met ‘the one’. It’s how they make you feel
everyday; if they make you a better person. And she does. But one stand out
moment was last year during holi! I rode my motorcycle to a party and had a
little bit of bhang. I was in no state to ride. She saw that and took the keys
–I thought she was joking! I mean it was a Bullet! But she just got on and off
we went, me in the backseat and my lady driving the bullet. I was thinking
then, Man! I’m going to marry her! She’s the one!
But then, all of
a sudden she left for Jammu because she realised acting wasn’t for her! I think
it was then that I realised that I wanted to do everything to make this work. I
asked her to move back for our relationship–to give it a chance. Thankfully,
she agreed, but I didn’t want to take a risk, so this year on my birthday, I
popped the question! She was so happy, she had this childlike smile on her
face, and I swear even though I gave her a ring, it’s me who found the
diamond!”
