Barely a handful of days before his wedding, it's business as usual for Varun Dhawan. The groom-to-be is taking utmost care to display no signs of his impending nuptials. He has been frequenting producer Dinesh Vijan's office. He features in his upcoming project, Bhediya. On Thursday, the actor was spotted with what looked like a bound script in hand. He has also been hitting the gym and posting fitness tips on Instagram.

Dhawan shared that animal flow exercises helped him regain stamina after recovering from the COVID-19 virus last month. Meanwhile, mother Lali was spotted at a Juhu salon, and director brother Rohit and wife Jaanvi at designer Manish Malhotra's store. Is Dhawan getting married or is the family preparing for a Republic Day gala?

The actor's hush-hush wedding to Natasha Dalal is the biggest topic of discussion among fans, netizens and the media right now. An unconfirmed source close to the actor revealed that keeping the global pandemic in mind, the guest list of the wedding will be small, and only family members of the bride and groom will be present. However, there is a possibility that the two families may throw a party later for the Bollywood fraternity. According to several reports, the actor will tie the knot on January 24 in Alibaug. Reports further suggest that a wedding reception will be hosted in Mumbai on January 26.

"It will be around 40 people from both the family gather for the occasion. They will stay in a resort in Alibaug from January 22 to January 26 and then the family and the couple return to Mumbai. So far, that is the information I can share. As far as I know, no Bollywood celebrity will be attending the ceremony now because then the guest list would have to cross 500, which is not practically possible, keeping Covid-19 in mind," a source close to Varun shared with IANS.

"I know there is a lot of news floating around about the guest list and the ceremonies, but the families of Varun and Natasha will be leaving for Alibag on January 22. The young couple will tie the knot on January 24," the source added.

Natasha Dalal and Varun Dhawan have till now chosen to remain tight-lipped about the wedding.
