Sonam Kapoor to get married to Anand Ahuja on May 8: It's official now

After months of speculations about the wedding of Sonam Kapoor with long time boyfriend Anand Ahuja, here comes the big news and the official announcement of the same from the family. Sonam will get married to her Delhi-based businessman boyfriend Anand Ahuja on May 8, 2018. Both the Kapoor and the Ahuja families have just shared a joint statement, confirming the speculations and requesting everyone to respect the family's privacy. 

Here's what the official statement from the families read:

The Kapoor and Ahuja families, take great joy and pride, in announcing the marriage of Sonam and Anand. The wedding will take place on the 8th of May in Mumbai . Since it is an intimate affair , we request you to respect the family's need for privacy. Thank you for all your blessings and love, as we celebrate this special moment in our lives.

Speculations about Sonam's wedding with Anand Ahuja began doing the rounds soon after Anushka Sharma tied the knot with Virat Kohli in December last year. When Sonam was asked about her wedding rumours at the trailer launch of Veere Di Wedding, the actress had neither confirmed not denied the rumours but said that everyone will get to know things but all in good time. 

Recently, when Anil Kapoor's residence was all decked up with colourful lights, the actor was quizzed about the same at an event and he had also maintained that very soon everyone will get to know the reason why his house has been decked up. Guess we all knew it already, but now that it has come from the family, there's no scope for any doubt left. We're glad that the families have finally made it official!

Reports about the wedding prep to have begun, have already been doing the rounds for quite sometime now. While Farah Khan is reported to choreography the Sangeet function, Sonam's girl gang is said to be super excited for her nuptial ceremonies. 

Sonam and Anand's families have apparently, decided to send across e-invitations for the wedding. A report on BollywoodLife quoted a source as saying, "Both Sonam and Anand believe in paper conservation. They believe that wedding cards mean a lot of waste of paper. Hence they have asked their families to not print any invitation cards. Instead, they have designed an elegant e-invite together which will be sent to their friends and relatives on their phones.” 

Heartiest congratulations Sonam and Anand!
