"Lifelong love just became official."
Those were the words Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan shared on his Instagram account alongside two photographs of him with his new wife, Natasha Dalal.
The newlyweds tied the knot on Sunday in a low-key ceremony at The Mansion House resort in Alibaug, a coastal town in western India.
The original plans for their nuptials, which were set to take place in Thailand in 2020, were foiled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Despite this, the couple, decked in ivory, silver and gold, are beaming with happiness in the photos.
The Street Dancer 3D actor also shared a photograph showing the couple taking pheras, or circling the fire, an important part of a Hindu wedding.
Celebrity photographer Viral Bhayani attended the wedding. In a post on Instagram he confirmed everyone entering the wedding arena was subject to mandatory Covid-19 tests.
While details of the wedding itself have been kept largely under wraps until now, the celebrity guest list is said to have included Shah Rukh Khan, Raj Kundra, Remo D’Souza, Karan Johar, Manish Malhotra, Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, and Arjun and Janhvi Kapoor.
It has been reported that Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan welcomed the Dhawan family and their guests to their beachfront bungalow in Alibaug ahead of the ceremony.
Dhawan and Dalal first met in school, but did not become a couple until they met again many years later. While they have rarely spoken publicly about their relationship, they have been pictured together on many occasions.
The festivities will continue until Tuesday.

Also on December 7 to 9, the third edition of the Gulf Car Festival (www.gulfcarfestival.com) will take over Dubai Festival City Mall, a new venue for the event. Last year's festival brought together about 900 cars worth more than Dh300 million from across the Emirates and wider Gulf region – and that first figure is set to swell by several hundred this time around, with between 1,000 and 1,200 cars expected. The first day is themed around American muscle; the second centres on supercars, exotics, European cars and classics; and the final day will major in JDM (Japanese domestic market) cars, tuned vehicles and trucks. Individuals and car clubs can register their vehicles, although the festival isn’t all static displays, with stunt drifting, a rev battle, car pulls and a burnout competition.
