Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh officially became man and wife on Wednesday in what was a hugely private affair, with only some pictures of the guests and the bride's father being made public. The couple exchanged nuptial vows in a Konkani ceremony - Deepika is a Konkani by birth - at the stunning Villa del Balbianello overlooking Lake Como of Northern Italy.
On Thursday, the couple will solemnise their vows in an 'Anand Karaj' ceremony as part of the Sindhi (Ranveer's family is Sindhi) customs. 'Anand Karaj' literally means ‘Blissful Union’, and the exchange of vows takes place during the day in a gurudwara, with the Sikh holy book, the 'Guru Granth Sahib', being placed at a prominent site.
Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone tied the knot in a gorgeous wedding on the banks of Lake Como, six years after they started dating. The actors met, and fell in love, on the sets of 'Ram Leela', their first film together.
The wedding was an extremely private and intimate affair, with only close family and friends making it to the guest list.
The first of the two ceremonies planned, a Konkani wedding took place today at Villa del Balbianello - a lakeside mansion featured in 'Star Wars' and 'James Bond' films. A Sindhi wedding will take place on Thursday.
The 700-year-old venue was decked up with white roses for the ceremony.
