Rakul Preet Sing, Jackky Bhagnani are gearing up for their grand wedding. Even as the couple keep mum about their impending nuptials, the stars have been carrying on with pre-wedding festivities in the city. On Saturday afternoon, Jackky and Rakul were spotted together at Siddhivinayak temple to seek blessings before they step into the new phase of their lives.
Rakul Preet Singh looked gorgeous in a pink anarkali suit while Jackky was dressed in a lemon yellow kurta. In Hindu traditions, the blessings of Lord Ganesha are taken before starting anything new. The couple was all smiles as they greeted the paparazzi and posed for them.
Rakul and Jackky's first pre-wedding look:
On Friday, Jackky and Rakul posted individual pictures of themselves flaunting their look from dhol night. Rakul Preet Singh donned a shimmery green sharara by Seema Gujral for the first pre-wedding festivity that was held on February 15. She opted for a traditional-styled choker necklace and matching earrings. Jackky Bhagnani, on the other hand, opted for a traditional kurta designed by Shantanu Nikhil. "Best things are about to happen," wrote Jackky in the caption of the post hinting at the upcoming wedding.
The grand wedding:
Rakul Preet and Jackky Bhagnani set to tie the knot on February 21 in Goa are going all out to ensure they have a eco-friendly wedding, according to sources.
Reportedly, the couple's 'green' wedding preparations include digital invites to save paper waste, a prohibition on fireworks, and a pledge to plant trees to offset their event's carbon footprint.
The wedding will last three days, beginning on February 19, with the major ceremony on February 21. The pair, according to sources, has hired carbon footprint specialists to guarantee that their big day is environmentally friendly. These specialists will evaluate the impact of the wedding celebrations and advise Singh and Bhagnani on how many trees should be planted to offset their carbon footprint. The couple intends to participate in the tree-planting effort shortly after their wedding vows are exchanged.
