Meanwhile, a close source told Hindustan Times that Devoleena and her husband took the plunge in a low-key ceremony in Lonavala. This was done due to Shanwaz and his family who didn’t want it to be a grand affair. “It was a simple wedding, just like Devoleena and her partner envisioned. They were planning to get hitched for a long time, and it was just getting delayed. They have been planning to take their relationship to the next level for almost two years now. And finally took the leap, and are very happy,” an insider said.
The couple opted for a court marriage on Wednesday. A haldi ceremony was also held, only attended by family members and close friends. They are likely to host a reception in Mumbai soon.
