Farhan, who is the chairman of a well-known business group, warmly greeted guests, which included his colleagues and associates. When asked how he felt after tying the knot, he said, “I’ve imagined this day so many times, it’s a great feeling now that it’s actually happening. I’m both nervous and excited to start this journey with Heraa.
You know what they say — the day you say your ‘I do’ only marks the beginning of an amazing life ahead.”
Heraa, who hails from Riyadh and has only been in Mumbai for a few years, added, “This is exactly how I expected my dream wedding to be — with Farhan by my side. We are looking forward to many beautiful moments together as marriage is not just the union of two people but also two families.”
The night came to an end with guests taking to the dance floor while shimmying to Bollywood beats led by the Azmi and Shaikh families.
