Thus, the much-in-love couple had tied the knot for the second time in a completely traditional manner. Revealing that she didn't feel like being married until they had done the rituals, the actress said:
“During the pandemic we only got our registered wedding done. The registration had to be done because I was stuck in Dubai and I couldn’t be there without the paperwork. We couldn’t do the wedding rituals. In fact, our family wasn’t even there then. I believe in all the rituals. I always dreamt of having this wedding. I didn’t feel married at all until I did the rituals.”

“It was a traditional Maharashtrian wedding. I didn’t marry for Instagram pictures. This (releasing the wedding on a Marathi OTT platform) is something no one has done in the Marathi fraternity. I’m quite excited about it.”
