Actor Hansika Motwani got married to her long-time boyfriend, businessman Sohael Khaturiya in a private ceremony on December 4 at a 450-year-old palace in Jaipur, Rajasthan. The actor had taken a long break from work for the wedding, and she’ll dive right back into shoot mode.

“The wedding turned out exactly how Hansika had dreamed of. She made the most of the break with her family and friends, adding a fun twist to every function. For a pre-wedding party, the bride and the groom had a stylish entry in a vintage car,” a source reports.

The actor wishes to get her work commitments out of the way before jetting off for her honeymoon. The newlyweds have picked a romantic location, and the wait is till the end of the year. “They’ve [planned] to go to catch the Northern Lights. In all likelihood, they’ll ring in the New Year on their honeymoon, and usher in the new beginning with 2023,” adds the source.

The wedding was attended by her family and close friends. As part of pre-wedding functions, there was a haldi ceremony on the morning of December 4, a mehendi and sangeet function on December 3 and a Sufi night on December 2.

Actor Hansika Motwani, 30, is all set to get married to Mumbai-based businessman Sohael Khaturiya in December, and celebrations will begin next week.

While the couple plans to tie the knot in Jaipur on December 4, a source says the pre-wedding festivities will kick-start in Mumbai.

“The actor is planning a close-knit Mata Ki Chowki to start the wedding celebrations. While the wedding is in Jaipur, Hansika wanted to start the journey of getting married in Mumbai itself. That is why she is starting on a devotional note, by organising a Mata Ki Chowki in Mumbai next week,” says the insider.

The source also reveals that the function will be organised by Motwani’s family, after which the attention will shift to Jaipur, for the rest of the functions. While a Sufi night has been planned on December 2, the mehendi and sangeet ceremonies will be held on December 3. The haldi ceremony will take place on the morning of December 4 and on the same evening, the couple will tie the knot at the 450-year-old Mundota Fort.

The source says the wedding will be a close-knit affair, but some of the actor’s close friends from the industry have been invited. Invites crafted in silver, with a touch of Rajasthani culture, have been sent out, along with handmade chocolates and other “shagun ka samaan”. “Hansika has personally worked on the guest list and is taking a lot of interest in planning the whole wedding. It is a special phase of her life,” adds the source.
