The 24-year-old broke the stereotype of matrimony and tied the knot with herself at her home on Wednesday.
Bindu had initially announced that she will get married on Saturday (June 11). However, according to a report by The Times Of India, she decided to tie the knot a couple of days before the said date to keep controversies at bay.
The young girl took to Instagram to share a few glimpses of her intimate wedding. She told TOI that the ceremony was a private affair with only 10 of her close friends and colleagues.
From an elaborate haldi and mehendi ceremony to seven 'pheras', the resident of Vadodra followed all rituals and customs of a traditional Hindu wedding.
For the big day, Bindu wore a heavily embellished red lehenga with studded jewellery including a chocker, earrings, matha patti, maang tika, nath, and payal among other things.
Bindu told ETPanache Digital in an exclusive interview that she loves writing Hindi poems. And, she ensured her social media platform reflected that. She also shared happy pictures from her haldi and mehendi ceremony.
Bindu, who identifies as a bisexual person, took part in rituals in front of sacred fire and performed 'seven pheras' (circumambulation around a fire), considered to be an essential part of the Hindi wedding ritual.

As per the rituals, she performed puja of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Laxmi, garlanded myself, applied sindoor on my head and even took seven vows, which she had written for herself.
Bindu, who is a working professional, had also said that her mother, who lives in another city, had given consent for the unusual 'groom-less' wedding.

After controversy, the priest had backed out and the temple had cancelled her booking, so she decided to get married at home.
A day after her wedding, the newly married was troubled by the shutterbugs stationed outside her home. Sharing an Instagram Story, she urged the media to respect her privacy. Despite having 'no media' boards, she said that the videographers kept barging into her house.
"Please don't come to my place. Not doing any offline interviews and if you all will come I will have to vacate my flat," she added. Kshama's IG Story Bindu confirmed she had the wedding on Wednesday and would like to enjoy this phase of her life.
For Bindu, sologamy or self-marriage is all about self-love. She also plans to go to Goa for her honeymoon, according to an ANI report.
