Ankur Pathak (MUMBAI MIRROR; July 8, 2014)

Actor Jugal Hansraj, who started his career as a child artiste in the Naseeruddin Shah-Shabana Azmi starrer, Masoom, married his girlfriend, Jasmine, in Oakland, Michigan, on Saturday. He is expected to return to Mumbai towards the end of the month and a party is being planned to celebrate the occasion.

Jugal and Jasmine's wedding was a planned ceremony, attended by family and close friends. They wore Manish Malhotra's designs. However, the designer couldn't make it to the wedding as he is busy preparing for a fashion show to be held in Delhi.

Said Manish, "A month ago, Jugal came to me and asked me for a wedding outfit. I asked him who was it for. It was then that he told me that he was getting married! Since I've worked with him on a film and know him quite well, I readily agreed."

Malhotra designed a classic blue kurta and a sherwani for Jugal, while Jasmine picked up her dress from his store in Delhi. "Jugal wanted something very simple so I stuck to a classic blue. It was something that went well with his personality," he said.

As for the bride, the designer added, "I haven't met her, but from what I've heard, she's a great woman. I'm sure the wedding must have gone beautifully and I'm guessing that celebrations will commence once Jugal returns to the city."

Close friend Uday Chopra wished the couple on Twitter, saying, "My friend Jugal Hansraj just got married yesterday in Oakland, Michigan to Jasmine...wish the couple a very happy married life."

When contacted, Jugal said, "I'm not in the country and can't talk right now. I'm not comfortable discussing my personal life."
