The actress, who has always acknowledged her traditional roots, will remain loyal to them for her big day as well. We can now reveal — Vidya Balan will marry Siddharth Roy Kapur at a small, traditional ceremony on December 14 in the presence of family and only the closest friends. The oneday affair will take place, not at any five-star destination, but at the sprawling Cuffe Parade apartment in Jolly Maker Towers, which belongs to SRK's parents. For the uninitiated, SRK is Vidya's affectionate moniker for Siddharth.
Like everything she does, there is a little story behind the wedding date as well. And this was revealed by one of Vidya's closest friends. "Vidya's sister Priya also got married on December 14. The close-knit family considers this date to be extremely auspicious," said the friend, adding, "From next year, this date will bring twice the happiness for the Balan family. Priya especially is on cloud nine."
Coming back to the venue of the wedding, we asked the friend why the couple gave Siddharth's Bandra abode a miss. After all, the Bandra pad is more accessible for their guests. "The Jolly Maker apartment is much
bigger. Besides, the Bandra apartment
is a rented one. And Siddharth is not
sure if he wants to continue with it,"
said the friend.
Vidya's trousseau has been designed by Sabyasachi and she plans to wear saris for the special day. The couple intend to take off on a Caribbean cruise two days after the wedding. This is the same cruise plan which was earlier meant to be a family affair.
Once back, the newlyweds will walk straight into their 14-crore Juhu apartment that Siddharth had bought last year. As we had reported earlier, this was a gift for his fiance. The house has already received some special feminine touches, thanks to the actress, who has been shopping for accessories and highlights for a while now. Vidya is busy wrapping up her Ghanchakkar schedule with Emraan Hashmi. She goes off on her wedding break in a couple of days.
