After postponing his May 2020 destination wedding due to the pandemic, Varun Dhawan is ready to walk into the sunset with his 'dulhania'. It can now be confirmed that the actor and his long-time partner Natasha Dalal will become man and wife on January 24 in an intimate ceremony at a beach resort in Alibaug. Contrary to reports that the wedding will be a three-day affair, complete with mehndi, sangeet and reception, mid-day has learnt that the Dhawans have planned a one-day celebration with the shaadi during the day and a low-key reception in the evening.

Producer Pahlaj Nihalani, who backed several David Dhawan movies in the '90s, confirms the development, saying, "I have heard that Varun's wedding is happening this weekend. But I have not received an invite yet. David and I talk once in a while, but he hasn't mentioned the wedding to me. I wish the couple all the best."
A guest invited to the nuptials reveals that the family has drawn out a guest list of 50, as per safety restrictions. Needless to say, Varun's mentor Karan Johar, and idol Salman Khan will be present at the do. It is heard that the guests will board private yachts from Gateway of India to head to Mandwa jetty. From there, private cars will escort them to the beach resort booked out for the ceremony.

"The wedding will see only the families and the couple's school friends in attendance. Last week, the families sent e-invites for the reception. Shah Rukh Khan may not be able to make it as he is shooting for Pathan in a bio-bubble. Other guests include Varun's directors Remo D'Souza and Shashank Khaitan, Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra, and Vashu Bhagnani. Since David is diabetic and suffered a heart attack in 2013, sons Varun and Rohit don't want to risk his health by having a grand reception," says the source. While Varun's wedding outfit will be designed by couturier friend Kunal Rawal, Dalal will wear her own creation.
