After four years of dating, Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar tied the knot in Khandala yesterday. The low key affair held at the Akhtar family’s bungalow was attended by the close friends of the couple including Shibani’s sister Anushka, Rhea Chakraborty, Hrithik Roshan and family, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Ashutosh Gowarikar, Ritesh Sidhwani, Amrita Arora among others.

A source informs, “They decided to forgo traditional rituals and read vows to each other. The bride wore a red ensemble and the groom was in a black bandhgala suit. Javed Akhtar recited a poem for the couple.” Musical trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy performed for the guests belting out their hits from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobaara, Rock On and Dil Chahta Hai.

“Keeping COVID-19 protocols in mind, the guest list was kept to a minimal crowd of 50. The couple will register the marriage with a court wedding in Mumbai this week and host a reception later in the month,” added the source.

The mehendi and sangeet ceremony was held last evening and the haldi was earlier in the day.
