No Bollywood frills — that’s the apt way to describe Shalmali Kholgade’s wedding. The singer tied the knot with long-time boyfriend Farhan Shaikh in an intimate ceremony at her Andheri house on November 22. Ahead of their reception today at a five-star hotel in Mumbai, Kholgade says the first week of her married life has been pure bliss. “The ceremony was exactly how Farhan and I had dreamt of, for as long as we can remember. We had only family and friends in attendance, about 15 people, all of whom could fit in the living room. People thought the low-key wedding was because of the new variant [of the virus], but this is how we always wanted it,” beams the new bride.
