Gunjan Walia, who plays Meera in Saat Phere, is getting ready for her real life saat phere on March 3 to TV actor Sachin Verma.
The actress, who got engaged last year, admits she is struggling to keep up with her busy shooting schedule and her marriage preparations." I am exciting about my real life Saat Phere. Preparations are going on here and there but I really have to work them around my work schedule. I have finished my main shopping so I don't have too much tension now."
Speaking about all the shopping she has done, Gunjan says, "I have bought my lehenga for the wedding day. It is a designer piece by Priya and Chintan. It is of several colours. I have also bought new suits from Mumbai. Apart from these, I bought a few necklaces and jewellery from Tanishq. When Sachin's parents came to meet me they told me that Sachin bought a diamond ring for me but unfortunately I was not able to see it."
As for the groom, Sachin will be wearing an Indo-western outfit. "Sachin has bought his outfit from Millionaire. I have the costume with me. It is very interesting - not completely offbeat but it will surely stand out. At the same time it matches what I will be wearing," she says.
Gunjan and Sachin will be tying the knot in Delhi but they're also making sure they don't forget their friends in Mumbai. "The wedding is in Delhi at a banquet hall. Both our parents stay near Delhi so it is a convenient place for all of us. I leave on the February 13 for Punjab – that's where my family stays. I will spend two weeks there and prepare for the wedding. Then we will fly to Delhi. Since all our friends and co-stars cannot travel so far so we will also have a reception here in Mumbai. If we don't they will kill me."
Gunjan has taken a month's break from her show. She says,"I will be on a break from February 13 to March 13. Since they cannot shoot for a month of episodes in advance, they will probably send my character off somewhere on the show. I will start shooting again two weeks after my wedding."
The couple has still not decided on where they will spend their honeymoon. "I have no clue where we will be going but Sachin likes to roam a lot. It is very cold here and it will be even colder in Delhi and Punjab. So I would definitely like to go somewhere where it is snowing," says Gunjan.
At present on Saat Phere, Gunjan has married the recently widowed Dheer. In coming weeks, Jeejisa will fall into her own trap that she created for her entire family.
