Ritika & Akshay

That old school love

Featured on : Band Baaja Bride, NDTV

Their’s is a typical Bollywood love story.
“Akshay and I have a quintessential, old school Bollywood love story!,” starts Ritika.

“It began along the lines of Hum Aapke Hai Kaun! We met ten years ago when my brother got married to his cousin sister, and I developed a massive crush on him right then, as a kid! He was my first and only love, and I eventually told him how much I couldn’t stop gushing about him, 5 years ago! I’ m quite the real life version of a Shah Rukh Khan film, I couldn’t hold it in and couldn’t wait to profess my love! And, being the biggest DDLJ fan, I even proposed with a miniature cowbell which I bought as a kid to someday give to my future ‘Raj’ ;)”.

“However, since I’ m a London-er and Akshay lived in Delhi, we knew we would have to work through a long distance relationship. Throughout this time we learnt so much about each other -all the good and all the bad, and that just made our relationship so much stronger and it withstood the test of trust, time, patience and love! After years of travelling between London and New Delhi, our LDR finally came to an end! In January 2018, we got engaged in Paris and in December 2018, we finally tied the knot in the most magical way possible! It was exactly the scene I’d dreamt of with him since I was 13!,” she shares.

Their wedding was a perfect blend of love, magic and joy and we would refer to it more as a celebration of true love (the wedding hash tag was #AReasontobelieve)! They wanted their nearest & dearest by their side throughout the celebration and the entire wedding vibe was cheerful, romantic, fun and fresh.
