Family is what makes these moments even more special. Here are some of their family portraits from the intimate ceremony.
Revealing about this intimate ceremony that happened since Swapnil’s parents were there to meet Jhanak, the bride-to-be said, “We didn’t tell anyone. It was very sudden. Nobody knew, except his and my best friend. We video-called everyone and told them. It was a surprise for everyone,” Hindustan Times quoted her saying.
The ceremony got her mother Supriya overwhelmed who also had tears in her eyes during the ceremony. Sharing her emotions, she said:
“I’m thankful to God that she found someone, who is so compatible because I don’t think even I would have found a guy like him for her. I had tears in my eyes, I was so overwhelmed. I just didn’t know what to do. I have seen her grow up. So it was very emotional for me.”

Jhanak is happy that their relationship of four years is finally official. “It feels good. We didn’t anticipate it, but it happened. It’s been four years of our relationship. Right from long distance to staying close with a lot of adjustments- sab dekh liya.”
Divulging about their marriage plans, Jhanak clarifies that it might happen in 2024 as she is planning to move to Ireland for a year to pursue further studies.
“2024 mein kabhi bhi ho sakti hai. It’ll be an intimate wedding, I’m not a fan of big weddings.”
Congratulations to the couple!
