Band, baaja, baarat: Shaadis of 2013

The year 2013 is drawing to a close, and as we keep our interesting Year Ender series articles coming, we stop by to celebrate the happy moments of 2013. Happy in the sense, the happiness of getting into the ‘marital knot’… Who said weddings are an outdated concept? Well, we say they are very much in, as we have a big list of television celebrities who got married this year. And we must admit that this wedding list keeps increasing with every passing year. Here is a list of some of the most adorable couples from the television industry who went on to take the marital vows this year. Ajay Chaudhary- Jyoti Makkar: This adorable TV couple first met on the sets of ‘Love Story’ where it was love at first sight for Ajay. He later went on to cross seven oceans to ask for Jyoti’s hand from her parents. Why do we say seven oceans? It’s because Jyoti and her family was staying in the US then. Luckily after a lot of persuasion Jyoti’s family agreed to their relationship and the duo got engaged followed by a grand wedding. They had a traditional Hindu as well as a Catholic wedding - The best of both traditions on 16 January. Anita Hassanandani- Rohit Reddy: Celeb weddings are more or less a grand affair and so was this one. Anita and her beau Rohit had a grand south Indian wedding on 14 October. The conjugal was attended by their friends in the industry. We are sure Anita and Rohit’s D-Day broke a lot of hearts as the gorgeous looking girl was taken away. Arjun Bijlani-Neha Swami: A lot of Arjun Bijlani ‘friends’ who we believe were ‘girls’ (wink) kept telling him that it was too early for him to tie the knot. But then for him it was about taking the next step with long time girlfriend Neha. Thus, the duo tied the knot on 20 May. We wish them all the happiness in the world. Ashish Sharma-Archana Taide: This is one of the coolest couples that we have come across. They first met on the sets of Chandragupta Maurya, became friends-got close-tied the knot. Their shaadi that took place on 30 January was indeed a grand affair. The couple is happily married and is also doing extremely well on the work front with Ashish having bagged Colors’ Rangrasiya and Archana being a part of Qubool Hai. Bharat Chawda-Disha Khanna: This Meri Bhabhi fame actor got married only after taking his parents’ approval. Yes, this was an arranged marriage but, the duo seemed in love at the time of tying the knot. Disha who is an HR professional at an international firm became Bharat’s life partner on 28 November. Chahatt Khanna-Farhan Mirza: This pretty looking actress has had quite a complicated love life. However, all’s well that ends well. Yes, the actress had a troubled marriage with ex-husband Bharat Narsinghani with whom she parted ways after just seven months of matrimony. Next actor Kanan Malhotra entered her life, but their relationship turned sour pretty soon and the actress finally found solace in Farhan Mirza. Farhan and Chahatt went on to tie the knot after six months of courtship on 8 February. Gaurav S Bajaj- Sakshi Shhorwani: Arranged marriages can turn out to be extremely beautiful and the best example for such a wedding is here. This Kaisa Yeh Ishq Hai… Ajab Sa Risk Hai star, Gaurav, met Disha through his parents and later love blossomed. Since the duo had been staying in two different cities before the wedding they kept meeting on weekends and finally went on to tie the knot on 10 December. Mrunal Jain-Sweety (Santosh) Jain: Yet another arranged marriage for a telly star. Yes, this one too was an arranged marriage attended by close family and friends of the lovely couple on 13 July. Interestingly, the busy star Mrunal better known as Akash of Colors’ Uttaran hasn’t had the time to go for his honeymoon yet. We hope these love birds get some time off from work soon.
