After weeks of will they-won't they, Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja are all set for their big fat wedding which is scheduled for May 8, confirmed a joint statement from the Kapoor and Ahuja families. "The Kapoor and Ahuja families, take great joy and pride, in announcing the marriage of Sonam and Anand. The wedding will take place on the 8th of May in Mumbai. Since it is an intimate affair, we request you to respect the family's need for privacy. Thank you for all your blessings and love, as we celebrate this special moment in our lives," read the statement, shared on Tuesday. Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja have barely been off the trending list for the last few days,
with fresh rounds of rumours popping up every so often.
Meanwhile, here's a glimpse of Sonam's decked-up Mumbai home, as photographed on Tuesday:
Last week, those passing by Sonam's home could not have failed to notice
the decked up Kapoor residence, decorated with festive lights - this led to another set of
shaadi rumours concerning Sonam and Anand. Paparazzi also caught on camera celebrities like Farah Khan, Karan Johar and Masaba Gupta dropping by
Anil Kapoor's home on Friday night. Farah Khan is reportedly in charge of choreographing Sonam's
sangeet (Farah sort of revealed this on an episode of
Entertainment Ki Raat) while Karan is reportedly organising the
sangeet.
When Anil Kapoor was recently asked if the decked up exteriors of his Mumbai home are part of Sonam's wedding preparations, this is what he told the press: "Media has always been with me and my family when we began our careers. We will share everything at the right time. You all will know very soon. We won't hide these details. You will know why there is lighting outside the house." As promised, we now know.
Earlier at the launch of
Veere Di Wedding trailer, Sonam dealt with the often-asked question about her wedding and said: "Today is about the film. You'll all know everything all in good time."
Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja (who owns the label Bhane) are frequently spotted together, both on social media and in real life. In February, Anand accompanied Sonam to her cousin Mohit Marwah's wedding in Dubai and later, was also photographed with Sonam and her family at Sridevi's funeral in Mumbai.
