Marriages may be made in heaven but some are performed on the serial sets. This is exactly what happened with Sanjeev Mehra, who plays the lead girl's father in Tony and Deeya Singh's new show Anu Ki Ho Gayi Wah Bhai Wah on Star One.

While the unit was shooting for a wedding sequence at Chitrarth Studio hall, Powai, Sanjeev got a bright idea - he requested the producers if he could have his own wedding, which is scheduled for December 9, on the sets at the same venue. Tony and Deeya happily agreed.

Sanjeev started dating an Australian girl Rita Weisse, whom he met on the sets of Left right Left (where he was playing Suri) two months ago, their love blossomed and now they are all set to get married.

Says producer, Deeya Singh, "These two started dating each other recently. Rita was just a guest on our show and then the rest is history. His Australian girlfriend is completely besotted with Indian weddings. When Sanjeev requested us to let him get married on our set we happily agreed.

We will be shooting for three days for the show and thereafter we will give away the set for one day for Sanjeev's wedding. We are not giving away the bride, but the wedding venue for Sanjeev's wedding. It will be a typical Punjabi style wedding, complete with the mehendi, baraat, phera ceremony. There will be real guests and relatives at the wedding."

Says Sanjeev, "Rita and I met three months ago on the sets of LRL and kept in touch. We realised that we liked each other a lot and started dating.

Everyone approved of our relationship. It will be a lavish wedding and my family and relatives have come down. The wedding will be on December 9. To begin with, we are having a barbeque party and then the actual wedding."

The show's costume designer, Nisha Bedi Singh, will be designing the couple's wedding dress too.
