After 11 years of togetherness, TV actress Puja Banerjee has finally tied the knot with her boyfriend, Kunal Verma. The couple had plans to take the saat pheras with a grand ceremony today but the dhoom-dhaam couldn't happen today due to the lockdown.
We spoke to Puja few minutes back- and here are the excerpts from our conversation:
Firstly, Many Congratulations to you!
Thank you so much.
You clearly took everyone by surprise…
We had already done a court marriage, one-and-half month back. We hadn't spoken about it to the world. Today, we were supposed to do our wedding rituals but had to call them off due to the lockdown. However, we will consider today (April 15) as our wedding. Aaj bataya na duniya ko! (pauses).
Go on...
Seeing the condition outside, I really don't think it will be possible to have any party etc at least for the next 6 months from now. Even if the lockdown is lifted, it will take some time for things to return to normalcy. Many of our relatives stay in Kolkata and some are abroad. Hence, we decided okay at least let's announce our shaadi for now.
What were the arrangements you both had chalked out?
Almost everything was ready. Our wedding was supposed to happen in Mumbai itself. We had paid for the venue, decoration, food and shopping was also almost done, but unfortunately this happened. We were very excited for today.
You must be feeling bad...
Kya kar sakte hain? Bura to kaafi laga, abhi baithkar hum wahin discuss kar rahe the, ki abhi baaraat aane waali thi. Abhi yeh hota, voh hota... (trails off).
Any plans of celebrating this special moment of your life in a big way in future?
We will definitely do something in future. Probably, on our first anniversary, we will plan something big with our family and friends.
Is your immediate family with you today?
My parents are unfortunately not here. They had gone to Kolkata for some Puja and couldn’t return. It's now just me, Kunal and his parents in Mumbai. But obviously, they know about our wedding.
