Bigg Boss 7 fame Kamya Panjabi on her wedding plans: Looking forward to wear a bikini on our honeymoon

It was in September this year that actress Kamya Panjabi spoke about finding love again in Delhi-based healthcare professional Shalabh Dang. And now, the actress is set to tie the knot with Shalabh on February 10, 2020, in Mumbai. In an exclusive chat with BT, Kamya spoke about her wedding and honeymoon plans. By: Neha Maheshwri

The pre-wedding rituals — haldi, mehendi and sangeet — will take place on February 9, followed by a grand party on February 11. Another reception will be held in Delhi soon after. Coincidentally, it was in February this year that the two met and Shalabh popped the question a few months later.

“Honestly, ekdum se (wedding) date aa gayi, which caught me off guard. I would have ideally liked it to happen a few months later, as I wanted to enjoy the feeling of going-to-be-married-soon for a little longer. However, our families, Shalabh and eventually I, too, decided that we didn’t want to wait for that long.”

It was the actress’ choice to exchange nuptial vows in Mumbai. She says, “Mujhe apne sheher mein hi shaadi karni thi. Besides, it seemed convenient for me, as I would have had to pack and carry a lot of stuff! I am making time for my shopping amid a hectic schedule. I would want us to be colour-coordinated at every function.”

“The shaadi will be an intimate affair. Kamya shares, “We will get married in a gurudwara, with only family and close friends in attendance. While the shaadi will be a family affair, the other functions will be total dhamaal.”

The actress is super excited for her wedding and why not! She says, “I don’t want to stand on a stage greeting the guests and receiving gifts. Mujhe apni shaadi mein naachna hai. So, it will be my kind of party and main paagalon ki tarah naachungi.”

Kamya’s 10-year-old daughter, Aara, and Shalabh’s 11-year-old son, Ishan, are looking forward to the big day as well. “My daughter keeps saying that she wants to stay in Delhi. I am clear that I don’t want either Shalabh or me to compromise on work, so I will shuttle between the two cities. Maybe, after my show ('Shakti — Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki'), I will go there for a couple of months and then will take up a project that allows me to stay with Shalabh for 15 days a month.”

“Post our reception in Delhi, we will then leave for our honeymoon, jahaan main bikini pehenungi (laughs!). Shalabh and I are yet to zero in on a destination.”
