After dating for almost six years,
Kishwer Merchantt
and
Suyyash Rai
are all set to tie the knot. The two will get married on December 16 — almost a month before their sixth anniversary as a couple. “We kept pushing the wedding because of our busy work schedule. Also, we had to make it official with our parents, which we did only recently,” says Kishwer, adding, “I feel fortunate as I am marrying a man who loves me more than I love him.”
Since it’s an inter-caste marriage, the two have opted for a court wedding. “We didn’t want to get into the nitty-gritties of our respective religions like changing names. Also, I have got just one week off,” the actress explains.
The wedding will be followed by a reception, which will be attended by the couple’s industry friends. The mehendi function will take place
on December 15. However, the honeymoon will have to wait. “We will go on our honeymoon by January end, which will also coincide with my birthday,” reveals Kishwer.
The duo will release a video of their wedding on the internet. “This will be a small gift to our friends, as not all of them can be invited to the wedding,” she signs off.
