Neha Marda, popularly known as Gehna from Balika Vadhu is all set to get married next year in February to Ayushman Agrawal, a Patna-based businessman. In an interview with Tellychakkar, visibly excited Neha reveals some of her wedding plans. On wedding venue… It’s happening on February 10, 2012 in Kolkata. On meeting Ayushman Agrawal… Ours will be an arranged marriage. Our parents wanted to meet, so his family and my family met in Mumbai at a city hotel. Ayushman is basically from Patna. He had come down to Mumbai for a business conference and that is how we met for the first time. We were sure that we are meeting each other just for the sake of it and we did not really think of getting married. But our parents were convinced about us getting married to each other and finally we met and liked each other. On Ayushman… Ayushman is basically from Patna and he owns a business. He has done his education from Mumbai. On first date… As I told you earlier, Ayushman has completed his studies from Mumbai. So he is familiar with the city and the best places to hangout here. One day he asked me where I would like to go and I told him that he can take me anywhere. We finally went to Aurus, as it is my favourite place to dine. The whole idea of candle light dinner actually worked and it was truly beautiful. On things you like about Ayushman… Interestingly, when my parents asked me to meet Ayushman, I thought it would be a typical scene of boy meeting a girl. However, during the first date he talked about all the things that I might not like. He told me that he is from Patna, and I might not stay there. I liked his honesty which is the most adorable thing about him. On wedding preparations… The wedding is taking place in February next year so there is still a lot of time. But, we have started buying jewellery as the rates of diamond and gold are increasing every day. The venue, the caterers, decorators, event management all has been decided. Things are there in my mind, I just need more time to implement. The shopping will be done across India and I have started purchasing sarees. Gold doesn’t suit me so I am going for diamonds, kundan, jadaus. I don’t believe in exaggeration and simplicity is very essential for me. On designer… There are many special occasions that happen during a wedding, and to make them special my Indian clothes will be designed by Pankaj and Palak. They have always designed my Indian clothes. But my wedding trouser would be either designed by Neeta Lulla or Sabyasacchi Mukherjee. On preferred colours… For haldi I will be wearing yellow as it is the tradition, for mehendi I will wear green, and my wedding trouser would either be pink or orange. On wedding rituals… It will happen in a typical Rajashtani way. In fact small rituals have already begun. I keep going to Banaras, as there are different customs that keep happening every now and then. On honeymoon plans… I have never travelled outside India and Ayushman has been all around the world. He wants to keep the venue a secret, but I guess it will be somewhere in Europe. On quitting acting… No not at all. But, the amount of work that I am doing will definitely go down, as after marriage my first priority would be family. On wedding guest list... My entire Balika Vadhu team, Ek Thi Rajkumari team, the producers, creative directors, DOP’s, and all the channels that I have worked with. Smita Bansal and her husband Ankush Mohla, Pratyusha, Shashank Vyas, Anoop Soni and the entire crew.
