Actress Yami Gautam and ‘Uri’ director Aditya Dhar had tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Himachal Pradesh on June 4.
The two met on the sets of Uri and the rest is history. Their wedding came as a surprise for fans and many others in the industry.
In a recent interview, Yami explained why the pair decided on getting married on such short notice. The reason comes from within the family itself!
“We didn’t plan it, and it happened in the most beautiful way. This is actually what I wanted, this is who we are. And I’m glad it resonated with so many people… We started interacting during the promotions of Uri. And that is when we started wooing each other, and our friendship started. It’s been over two years, and we were like ‘let’s get married’, and our families were equally happy, probably even more happy,” Yami says.
She continues, “We were just supposed to get engaged, and then were going to let time take its due course, but my ‘nani’ was like ‘listen, this engagement and all is not a part of our culture, so how about getting married?’ And then Aditya asked me, ‘Are you ready? Shall we?’ I don’t know what it means, honestly. I’m still not able to absorb the feeling of being married. I feel the same, maybe happier.“
There you have it! The newlyweds have an adorable story attached to them but it’s out of respect for the Indian traditions (and Nani too) that got their hands joined in blissed matrimony.
