New reports about Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar's wedding surfaced
on Thursday night. The couple are scheduled to get married on Saturday and a civil ceremony will take place on Monday. The news channel quoted a source as saying, "The
family has been extremely discreet about this wedding as they don't want the
media to turn up at the venue. Only family members have been invited. It is
still unclear how things are planned, as everything is under wraps. But in most
probability, it will be a Maharashtrian wedding."
"The
couple will register the wedding at their Bandra house on February 21. A
reception of sorts is to be held for friends and colleagues in the
evening," the news channel report added.
Another report
from Filmfare stated, "Farhan and Shibani will tie the knot on
the 19th. A court marriage will follow after that on the 21st."
On the other
hand, Farhan's father and lyricist Javed Akhtar has previously confirmed that
the wedding will take place in February. In an interview with the Bombay Times,
he said earlier “Yes, the wedding is taking place. Rest, shaadi ki jo
taiyyariyan hain that is being taken care of by the wedding planners.
Taking the situation into consideration it is obvious that we cannot host
anything on a large scale. So, we are only calling a few people. It will be a
very simple affair."
Shibani Dandekar and Farhan Akhtar started dating in 2018. The actor was previously married to the famous hairdresser Adhuna Bhabani, with whom he has two daughters - Shakyu and Akiru. Farhan Akhtar's last project was Toofan, directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. The actor will also direct a film called Jee Le Zaraa, starring Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif.
