This time the rumour is true. Bollywood’s fashionista and lovely actress Sonam Kapoor is finally all set to tie the knot with beau and fashion brand ‘Bhane’ owner Anand Ahuja in May. The dates fixed are the 11th and 12th, the second weekend of the month. From early yesterday morning, speculation about the wedding and dates began flying around tinsel town, with everybody getting the event and days right – but the venue of the wedding wrong.
It was believed that Sonam and Anand would get married in Geneva, in a picturesque place surrounded by the Alps and Jura Mountains, with a view of Mont Blanc. But that is not true. PeepingMoon.com has learned that the most anticipated wedding of the year (unless Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh take the plunge too) is going to take place at Montreux, an hour’s drive away, which is a resort town on Lake Geneva nestled between steep hills and the lakeside, wine chateaus and medieval island castles.

The wedding ceremony and functions will be spread over the weekend and Anil Kapoor is reportedly making bulk bookings for the family and friends to fly to Geneva in Switzerland for the big day. In attendance will be a close-knit group of these people totally numbering 150. These dates happen to coincide with the Cannes Film Festival at the French Riviera that Sonam has been attending as brand ambassador for L’Oreal for seven years. So, the actress will walk the red carpet at Cannes immediately after the wedding!
The actress is believed to have taken a small break with Anand in London last week where and when plans for the wedding were speedily made and finalised. Sonam is now reportedly in a spa retreat in Austria getting ready for the wedding. Back in Mumbai, Papa Anil and Mama Sunita are on the phone making calls and securing the dates of those they definitely want at the Montreux wedding. Sonam is believed to have fallen in love with Geneva when she visited the city as the brand ambassadress for a luxury Swiss brand watch.
