A star-studded sangeet ceremony in Delhi for Anshul Chauhan & Ateet Singh

The season of grand, opulent Delhi weddings is here and a number of celeb weddings have been the highlight of this shaadi season in NCR. After Shireen Mirza and Shraddha Arya hosted their weddings in the city, it is now Anshul Chauhan who began her wedding festivities with a haldi, mehendi and sangeet ceremony on Friday, followed by a wedding on Saturday.

The actress, who has appeared in movies like Shubh Mangal Savdhan and Zero, will tie the knot with cinematographer Ateet Singh on Saturday.

The sangeet ceremony was attended by the couple’s friends from the industry, including Rithvik Dhanjani, Sehban Azim and Shireen Mirza.

Anshul and Ateet met in Mumbai two years ago, but the actress says that it was a love-cum-arranged marriage and she had to convince her family for marriage. “Though he is also Rajput, it took time to convince my family because it was sort of a love-cum- arranged marriage. I considered this because he is a Rajput boy and I did not want to upset my parents. But for them, it was a new thing because they have not stepped out of Noida. Woh initial hiccups thay, but they trusted me and when they met his family, they were more than happy,” the actress had told us earlier. Ateet told us at the sangeet ceremony, “Last year was a tough one for everyone, our plans got delayed. From our engagement till today, it has been a journey of ups and downs, but I am glad that we are finally getting married.”

The actress said, “I am feeling very emotional right now as I have been at home for the last one month and spending time with my parents. I am very attached to them. As these ceremonies are taking place, I am reminded that now things will change.” Adding on her choice of outfit for the sangeet ceremony, Anshul said, “I wanted to dance and have fun, so I avoided wearing a heavy lehenga or anything similar.”
