Love is in the air as Bollywood actress Rakul Preet Singh and film producer Jackky Bhagnani get set to tie the knot today in Goa. The star-studded wedding festivities kicked off earlier this week with a glamorous sangeet ceremony attended by celebrities like Varun Dhawan and Shilpa Shetty.
Rakul and Jackky will have a traditional Sikh wedding ceremony this morning at 11am. This will be followed by a second wedding celebration in the afternoon. The newlyweds plan to share the first photos from their big day this evening, much to the delight of their fans.
The lead-up to the wedding has been nothing short of magical. Rakul and Jackky hosted a fun Bollywood-themed sangeet night on Tuesday that brought out the inner diva in the guests. The theme was “shimmer” and attendees dazzled in sequined and metallic outfits.
Shilpa Shetty and husband Raj Kundra apparently had a special dance performance planned for the sangeet. Other celeb guests spotted heading to Goa for the festivities included Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar. It was surely a star-studded event!
Before shaking a leg at the sangeet, Rakul and Jackky also had a beautiful mehendi ceremony. Photos from the henna-filled event have popped up on social media, giving us a glimpse into the celebrations. The couple look overwhelmed with emotion in the pictures as they prepare for the biggest day of their lives.
The wedding mandap is also shown in some leaked images online. The floral-decked mandap overlooks the serene beach, making for a picture-perfect venue. Jackky apparently dedicated a romantic song to Rakul called “Bin Tere” at the sangeet, which left her touched. It looks like he pulled out all the stops to make her feel special.
The couple’s families also seem to be reveling in the festivities. Jackky’s father Vashu Bhagnani and sister Deepshikha posed for pictures and thanked the media for their blessings. Rakul’s parents also expressed gratitude to the paparazzi and promised them exclusive couple snapshots after the wedding today.
Rakul and Jackky confirmed their relationship in 2021 after years of speculation. Their wedding is the culmination of a beautiful love story that began as friendship. From co-stars to life partners, they have come a long way.
Here’s wishing the gorgeous couple a lifetime of happiness as they begin this new chapter together! May their marriage be filled with love, laughter and togetherness. Stay tuned for those first exclusive pictures from Mr. and Mrs. Bhagnani
