It's raining weddings this year and also early next year for many actors from Tellydom. Actors are getting hitched to their long time beau's soon and for many the destination happens to be Delhi for the wedding.

Roshni will continue to work post marriage and will take a break to hit Paris and Prague early next year for their honeymoon. It's been a really long, hectic week and will continue to be so till 13 December. Yesterday I had Sangeet (which had a Morroccon theme and took place at a farm house) and it went on till early morning. I am completely exhausted and today we will have sangeet from the bridegroom's side. From 1 December there have been many functions at home like the dholki night, kirtan and we have been practicing dance every night with cousins and friends. We have the mehendi ceremony left which will have all women coming in to bless me and then the chuda ceremony followed by the big event.

We have been shopping for clothes and running around for sending the invites to family and friends along with arranging for their accommodations and transport. I am looking forward to the Sangeet, the wedding and the reception, but at the same time I am excited, tired and nervous.
