Kajal Aggarwal started a new chapter in her life by marrying her longtime beau Gautam Kitchlu in an intimate ceremony in Mumbai on October 30. The grand ceremony was attended only by close friends and relatives. Kajal, delighting all her fans, shared inside pictures from the Punjabi meets Kashmiri wedding. The couple tied the knot according to Telugu rituals too.
In the first picture shared by Kajal, she is seen planting a kiss on Gautam's hand. "And just like that, from ms to mrs! I married my confidante, companion, best friend and soulmate. So glad I found all of this and my home in you @kitchlug," she wrote. The actress, for the wedding, opted for an Anamika Khanna lehenga while Gautam was dressed in an Anita Dongre sherwani. All the pictures of Kajal's and Gautam's wedding are clicked by Joseph Radhik and his team of photographers.
Along with the second picture, Kajal spoke about her multi-cultural wedding ceremony with Gautam. "In our Punjabi meets Kashmiri wedding, we just had to include #Jeelakarrabellam - a tribute to both Gautam and my individual relationships with South India! In a Telugu wedding, Jeelakarra Bellam signifies the union/marriage of the bride and the groom. Jeelakarra (cumin) and bellam (jaggery) are made into a thick paste and put on a tamalapaku (betel leaf). The bride and the groom put it on each other’s head while the purohit chants mantras from the Vedas. The bride and the groom look at each other only after this ceremony is completed and this auspicious ceremony signifies that the couple will stay together in bitter and sweet times," she explained.
With the third picture, Kajal thanked all those who made the wedding possible amid the COVID-19 pandemic. She shared, "Planning a wedding entails so many moving parts and added to that the pandemic definitely was a challenge. However we strictly followed covid protocols which meant we had to have a very small wedding, got all our guests tested and created a bubble for everyone who was a part of our celebration. We are very grateful for all our loved ones that were able to attend and those who joined virtually from afar were terribly missed and we hope to see you all soon."
