With rumours running wild that Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha will tie the knot tonight in an intimate wedding in Mumbai, the couple's spokesperson has issued a clarification.
"This is to clarify that Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal have been legally married for 2.5 years when they registered their wedding," read the latest statement.
The spokesperson set the record straight that the couple's week-long festivities are just a celebration of their union. "Currently, they are celebrating their union with friends and family, as was already mentioned by them on 29th September in their statement. They have hosted their wedding receptions and parties in Delhi and Lucknow and are now doing a final event with a reception tonight in Mumbai," read the note that came just hours ahead of the Bollywood-style reception that is reported to be held in an iconic mill in Byculla, Mumbai.
The note also revealed details about why the couple chose to go the traditional route to celebrate their union. "They wanted to celebrate both their Punjabi and Lucknowi culture. The details of their celebrations were curated to thoughtfully reflect their persona and their heritage. The clothes too were designed with special touches being added through heirloom jewellery and custom-made trousseau including a saree custom made to reflect their love story," the note concluded.
Ali and Richa took to their Instagram handles on September 29 to reveal in a voice note that they have been husband and wife for over two years.
"Two years ago we formalised our union and just then the pandemic hit us all, pressing a pause button on our celebrations and life," the couple said while revealing that they postponed their wedding festivities.
Although the party was delayed, the couple made sure to keep up with tradition and host a sangeet, mehendi and even a cocktail party followed by a DJ night to make sure all their families and friends could be a part of the celebrations.
