Bollywood actor-director Farhan Akhtar and actor-host Shibani Dandekar tied the knot on Saturday in an intimate ceremony in Khandala. Farhan and Shibani first met on the sets of the 2015 reality show 'I Can Do It', which the actor-director-singer had hosted. The two started dating soon thereafter and made their first public appearance as a couple during Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone's wedding reception.
The ‘Milkha Singh’ actor took to Instagram on Wednesday and shared pictures from their union with his fans. Sharing the pictures, he wrote, “A few days ago, @shibanidandekar & I celebrated our union and we are deeply grateful to all those who did respect our need for privacy on the day.
The celebration however, is incomplete without sharing some precious moments with you and seeking your blessings as we begin our journey across the skies of time, together.With love from us to you ❤”
Shibani also shared pictures of ‘Mr & Mrs’ in her dream dress. Shibani opted for a red off-shoulder gown with a veil and kept her hair open in soft curls.
Javed Akhtar, Farhan's father, read out a poem that he had specially composed for the occasion. After the wedding, the newlyweds were treated to a song by Shankar Mahadevan. The singer sang the title track from Farhan's directorial debut film 'Dil Chahta Hai', which got the guests swaying to the music.
This is 48-year-old Farhan's second marriage. Adhuna Bhabani, hairstylist and founder of BBlunt, is his first wife and mother of their two daughters, Shakya (22) and Akira (15).
