Rumors were widespread in B-Town that Varun Dhawan and longtime girlfriend Natasha Dalal were set to tie the knot this summer, while Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal were planning the wedding in April. However, all the planned events are on hold due to the coronavirus outbreak also they have reportedly put their wedding plans on hold.
A source quoted by Mid-Day exposed that in the time of social distancing and self-quarantine, the Dhawan’s have shifted their wedding dates to the second half of the year. “The initial plan was to have an intimate wedding on a private island in Thailand, but it was scrapped last month in favour of a destination wedding in Jodhpur. Eventually, they called that off too and were considering having a low-key ceremony in Mumbai. But looking at the current scenario, they have decided to tentatively push the Shaadi to November and have reverted to their original choice of destination — Thailand,” the source said.
Ali and Richa too may postpone their plans for a wedding ceremony. “Many of their guests were to fly in from the US and Europe for the do. Also, the couple was hoping to have their nuptials in Delhi, which is currently on partial lockdown. So, they think it’s best to delay the wedding to later this year,” says a source close to the couple.
Coronavirus outbreak is not just affecting the professional life of Bollywood celebrities but is also hitting their personal decisions. Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha were all set to get married in April and had also booked a date for their marriage registration. However, following the COVID-19 health scare, the couple has decided to shift their wedding date. “Given the current scenario and the unfortunate turn of events owing to the COVID-19 pandemic globally, Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha have decided to postpone their wedding functions to the latter half of 2020 tentatively. They wish for everyone to be healthy and safe and at no cost would want their friends, families and well-wishers to be affected,” read an official statement from their spokesperson. Reports suggest that Richa and Ali will tie the knot in October this year, however, the couple has not confirmed the same.
