Devlina and Gourab to tie the knot on December 9

After being in a relationship for the last two and a half years, one of Tollywood’s hottest couples has finally decided to exchange vows on December 9. Devlina Kumar and Gourab Chatterjee, who had earlier planned to get married on December 25, had to alter their wedding itinerary due to the pandemic and opt for a close-knit family affair instead.
Sharing her palpable excitement with us, Devlina said, “Just our relatives and a few close friends would be present at the wedding. The registry is on December 15 and the reception will be hosted in March next year, so that my mashi, who stays in London, can be here with us.”
With the wedding less than a month away, has the bride-to-be decided on what she would be wearing on the

big day

? “Yes, for the wedding, I’ll wear a red Benarasi that I bought after Diwali. On the day of the registry, I want to go for an Indo-western outfit. Both Gourab and I are quite occupied with work. I am shooting for Arindam Sil’s Tirandhaj Shabar till December 7 and have a shoot lined up even on the day of our registry. So, let’s see how I can manage everything. My hectic schedule is keeping me from immersing myself in the pre-wedding excitement,” said the actress, who is back from Darjeeling where she was shooting for Abaar Kanchenjunga.
After marriage, Devlina will be moving into the Bhawanipore residence where Uttam Kumar, Gourab’s grandfather, used to live once. How does she feel about that? “I’ve been to Gourab’s house several times, so it’s not going to be new for me. However, the fact that I have to start living without my parents after marriage is yet to sink in. But of course, I’m looking forward to this new chapter of my life. Spending a few hours at his place and living there 24x7 are not the same,” she said with a smile.
Talking about how she first met Gourab, Devlina said, “It was through his sister Mou. She was getting married and Gourab was my dance partner at her sangeet. We gradually became friends and then started dating. Our first date was at a mall where we went for Mou’s wedding shopping.”
Speaking about her chemistry with Gourab, Devlina said she is the more romantic one. “Gourab is an introvert and I live in a dream world. I love all the romantic stuff like candlelit dinners and long drives in the rain. I fight with him a lot and then realise it’s me doing all the talking since Gourab is usually very quiet.”
Meanwhile, the would-be groom, who is busy shooting for the serial Karunamoyee

Rani Rashmoni

, is looking forward to the wedding with equal excitement. “I am eagerly waiting for ‘the day’. What else can I say?” Gourab told us with a smile.
Despite their hectic schedules, the couple recently managed to go out and buy wedding rings for each other. They will be flying off to Puri for their honeymoon.
