Close family and friends are set to grace the Mehendi ceremony on Sunday, followed by a reception on Monday.

 “It’s an intimate, homely affair. Other than their family members, Zaheer’s close cricketer friends like Yuvraj Singh, Ashish Nehra and Ajit Agarkar are also expected to be present. After the marriage, there will be a cocktail party at a five star hotel in the evening. The mehendi ceremony will take place on Sunday, followed by a grand reception on Monday evening,” a close source told Bombay Times.

Earlier, the couple also revealed how their families were open to the relationship and that the religion barrier did not cause any differences.

“We didn't face any such issues. Both our families are evolved enough to understand that it's about marrying the right person over marrying into the same religion. It's important to be a good human being. We are going to stay away from both (nikaah and saat pheras). It will be a court marriage on November 27 in Mumbai. There will be a pre and post wedding functions. I am planning to have something in Pune as well, so the ceremony will go on for a few days. We want this to be a get-together for close friends and family,” Zaheer said.

“My parents are also open-minded and their primary concern was that I marry the right person. I am sure they may have had their apprehensions, but after meeting him, it cleared a lot of things for them. He is perfect. We are also planning to have something in my hometown Kolhapur, sometime later,” Sagarika stated.

The duo has been dating together for two years now and have never shied away from sharing their love for each other on social media.
