KOTA: Wedding bells are ringing for Naresh Tekwani, 27, of Jodhpur and Karachi’s Priya Bachani despite the strained ties between their home nations. Thanks to foreign minister Sushma Swaraj, Priya has got a visa from the Indian embassy in Pakistan, and will now be able to tie the knot with her fiancé on November 7. Marriage preparations had come to a standstill as Bachani and her family had not been issued a visa despite applying for it before the wedding, a matter first reported by HT on October 4.
