Devika Narain planned the wedding, while her husband Joseph was the official photographer.
The much publicised Anushka Sharma-Virat Kohli wedding has a DU connection.
It was a Lucknow girl, Devika Narain, who planned the high profile wedding in Tuscany in Italy while her husband Joseph Radhik who played the official photographer.
Pradeep Narain, father of Devika Narain, said, “My daughter had kept the assignment a secret and even we didn’t know about it. It was late on Monday night that my son-in-law Joseph called us and asked us to congratulate Devika for handling the assignment. It was then that we learnt about this.”
After calling up her father, the couple tweeted their photographs from the wedding.
“Devika and Joseph had visited Italy about three to four times in the past six months but we did not have an idea that it was for this assignment. It was only after the wedding pictures were released that we got to know of it,” said the father.
We've been keeping a secret for a couple of months now and all of it has come to life today where @imVkohli and @AnushkaSharma got married.We're overwhelmed to have been chosen to be a part of such a special day.
