Varun Dhawan, the Hindi actor who was last seen in Coolie No. 1, and fashion designer Natasha Dalal will get married on Sunday at a seaside resort in Alibaug near Mumbai as per reports.
The wedding festivities, which started from Friday, are expected to be a private affair with Dhawan and Dalal tying the knot at noon.
The Times of India reported that a bio-bubble protocol was followed with Covid-19 tests being being conducted at the entrance of the venue, The Mansion House resort. Guests who have been testing positive have been sent back home, the report added.
Bio bubble, introduced mainly in cricket matches due to the Covid-19 pandemic, is a protocol where a gathering is kept restricted to a small space and cut off from the outside world to limit their chances of contracting the disease.
Since the couple have announced a no-phone policy at the wedding, stickers have been stuck on the camera lens of mobile phones of the staff members to keep the affair private.
It was earlier reported that the guest list comprises only 50 people, in keeping with Covid protocols. Some of the guests include actors Arjun Kapoor, and Alia Bhatt, filmmakers Karan Johar, Kunal Kohli, and Shashank Khaitan, Dhawan’s close friend Zoa Morani, fashion designer Manish Malhotra, and others.
