The beautiful Riya Sen tied the knot on Wednesday evening with boyfriend Shivam Tewari, looking every bit the blushing, Bengali bride as she went through all the traditional rituals - including kanya daan, subho drishti and sindur daan. For elder sister Raima, she was “the prettiest bride I have seen so far“.

The wedding took place in a Pune farmhouse, with only close friends and family in attendance. “Riya always wanted her marriage to be a private affair. Both Riya and Shivam looked awesome as a couple and I am so happy for them. Maa (Moon Moon Sen) did all the shopping. She bought loads of saris and jewellery for her. Riya wore a red Banarasi for the wedding and after wearing sindoor on her forehead, she looked divine,“ said Raima.

What was her gift to Riya? “I was busy shooting, so I didn't have any time to buy her gifts. I plan to buy her a jewellery set soon,“ she said.

Raima added that the food was to die for and there were many cuisines on the menu. “There will be a party in Kolkata when both of them have time. Riya has known Shivam for over a year and they make a brilliant couple.“
