There is a lot of buzz around actress Rakul Preet Singh and actor-producer Jackky Bhagnani’s big Bollywood shaadi. The two-day intimate wedding will reportedly conclude on February 21 in Goa. Despite the couple keeping the details of their big day fiercely guarded, we have learnt about a significant detail.

As it turns out, originally intending to exchange nuptial vows overseas, Rakul and Jackky altered their plans last minute, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for affluent families to hold their wedding festivities within India.

Informed a source close to the soon-to-be-married couple, “Rakul and Jaccky had initially planned for their wedding to take place in the Middle East. After nearly six months of meticulous planning, everything was pretty much in order. However, following the call from the Indian PM in December, urging rich and influential families to choose India as the venue for their big life events, Rakul and Jackky reconsidered their original plans and relocated the wedding to India. Their decision, made in mid-December, necessitated a complete reset, involving the destination, resort, and accommodations. Despite the considerable changes, the couple embraced the overhaul, driven by their love for the country and desire to contribute to its growing economy.”

We sent a text message to Rakul and Jackky but didn’t get a response.

Speculations were rife last year about the couple tying the knot in 2023 itself. In a chat with Rakul in February 2023, when we asked her about it, the ‘Chhatriwali’ actress told us, “I have always been vocal and whenever that conversation happens, I will be open. I don’t have to hide. People make all sorts of stories. I am like chalo great, jab asli mein hona hoga tab pata chal hi jaayega. Whenever it happens, I will be the first one to announce it. As of now, we both are extremely busy with our work.”
