In the caption of the video, Guneet shared that the video is from her engagement which they staged as wedding. She also revealed the reason behind the same which will definitely melt your hearts.
The caption read, "I staged my own wedding ♥️ Everyone who knows me knows that I always wanted to get married… Ever since I was 18.
Cut to….20 years later I meet Sunny. The best of it all was getting to meet his family. I’ve missed having my own family for a decade and a half now. When I met Sunny’s Dadiji first time, she said
"jaldi shaadi karlo… main naachungi". And I was like "I love you, Dadi"."
Elaborating on the entire episode, she further wrote, "Soon after, Dadi was detected with cancer and the only thing she kept saying was
“Sunny da Viah”. Her health deteriorated by the day and in 48 hours we decided to get married only for her!"
Guneet expressed that she is happy they did what they did as Sunny's grandmother was happy for them. She wrote, "So yes, we staged our wedding which was an 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 but looked and felt like a wedding. Dadiji came and we exchanged Jai Malas for her. She gave me Khandani jewellery and my joy had no bounds. She put a Chunni around us, a ceremony to welcome the new bride home. Later I cooked Kadah Prashad at home and she lovingly ate and gave us her blessings ♥️"
The film producer concluded her long note by stating that Sunny's grandmother passed away recently. She wrote, "Unfortunately, we lost her last week. But, I can only be thankful for the time I had with her, and grateful that we were able to bring her joy and fulfil her wish to get us married. Becoming a bride in Dadi’s eyes and having the honour of fulfilling her dreams, alongside mine, will always be one of the most cherished moments of my life."
"It’s so important to live your dreams, but it’s all the more important to live for someone else’s too. We will miss you every day dadi. Rest in power and peace. Thank you for your blessings Dadiji. Sunny & Guneet."
