"It will be a typical Punjabi / Sikh wedding"
| So all set for the D day! What are your plans for the occasion?
Gurdip:It will be a typical Punjabi / Sikh wedding with all the lavish build up occasions - mehendi, sangeet and the works for which we Punjabis are famous or rather infamous for! The main wedding ceremony will be held in the capital, but we also plan to throw a lavish reception here in Mumbai as well.
Arjun, do you plan to throw a bachelors bash?
I don't think Gurdip will like it, as she knows how wild these things can get. Post marriage, I might throw a party, but then Gurdip will definitely be a part of the hungama! Any pre wedding jitters?
Arjun: Though I have heard a lot about it from my married friends, luckily, I have not yet experienced it. But there are still 15 more days to go. So you never know!
How would you both define marriage?
A combination of love, commitment, understanding and compatibility.
Tell us about your exquisite bridal dress.
Gurdip: I can't disclose anything about my outfit. That would spoil all the fun won't it? All I can say is that it's come out really beautiful. Just wait and watch.
And where are you heading for you honeymoon?
Gurdip: As of now, we have decided on a sojourn to the beautiful beaches of Maldives and later when we have the time (around March), Arjun has promised me a whirl wind romantic tour of Europe. In fact, I accpeted his proposal on the very premise that he will take me to Switzerland!

"We are eagerly waiting for D day"
| Thought of any gifts for each other?
Gurdip: What better gift we can give each other, apart from our undying love and commitment, which the wedding vows entail. On a more superficial level, we have shopped a lot for each other.
How well do you know each other?
Arjun: We have been going around for the past three and a half years, and within the last six months of our courtship, we knew that we were made for each other.
Does the general belief that 'we see the true colours post marriage' bother you'll?
Gurdip: We know that, but I guess three and a half years is enough time to understand each other. We strongly believe that if two people click, then they can weather any storm. In fact if you don't sync, even years of marriage can come undone.
Any one thing you would want to change in your partner?
Arjun: Why should I change, I am already perfect.
Gurdip: I would be really happy if he could stop wasting food.
Gurdip, can Arjun cook?
Like all guys, he can prepare omelette. Nothing more, but to be fair to him, he does make it well. Did participating in Nach Baliye 2 help in cementing your relationship?
Arjun: Yes it really helped us to come closer than ever before. We learnt to cope with stress and pressure together. We are happy that we are currently ousted from the show as it gives us ample time to prepare for our wedding. We have virtually finished all the shopping and are now eagerly waiting for D day.
