Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani are all set to tie the knot on February 21st in Goa, after dating for almost three years. The couple, who rang in the New Year 2024 in Thailand with their friends, has been busy with the wedding preparations ever since. On Thursday night, they hosted a get-together at Jackky’s residence in Mumbai, where they were joined by some of their close friends and family members.

The party was a casual affair, with the guests enjoying some music and food. Rakul and Jackky looked happy and relaxed, as they posed for pictures with their guests. Rakul wore a black dress with floral prints, while Jackky opted for a blue shirt and jeans. The couple also shared some adorable moments, as they hugged and smiled for the cameras.

The wedding will be a lavish affair in Goa, followed by a reception in Mumbai

According to various reports, Rakul and Jackky have planned a grand wedding in Goa, where they will exchange vows in the presence of their near and dear ones. The wedding festivities will span over two days, on February 19 and 21, 2024, and will include various ceremonies and functions. The couple has reportedly booked a luxurious resort in Goa, where they will accommodate their guests and host the events.

After the wedding, Rakul and Jackky will also throw a lavish reception in Mumbai on February 22, which is expected to be attended by many Bollywood and South Indian celebrities. The reception will be held at a well-known venue, which has hosted several prestigious events in the past. The guest list will include some of the biggest names from the film industry, such as directors, producers, actors, and singers.

The couple changed their wedding destination from abroad to India, influenced by PM Modi

Interestingly, Rakul and Jackky had initially planned to have their wedding in the Middle East, after six months of careful planning. However, they changed their mind at the last minute, after being influenced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s suggestion for affluent families to host their celebrations within India. The PM had made this appeal in December 2023, urging the wealthy to boost the domestic tourism and economy by choosing India as their wedding destination.

A close source to the couple revealed, “Rakul and Jacky had initially planned for their wedding to be held in the Middle East. After almost six months of careful planning, everything was set. However, following the Indian PM’s call in December urging affluent families to opt for India as the venue for their significant life events, Rakul and Jackky reevaluated their plans and moved the wedding to India.”

The couple has a busy schedule ahead, with several projects lined up

On the work front, both Rakul and Jackky have a lot on their plate, as they juggle between their personal and professional lives. Jackky, who is the son of producer Vashu Bhagnani, is currently working as the producer of the upcoming action movie ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan,’ featuring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff. The movie is a remake of the 1998 hit comedy of the same name, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda.

Rakul, on the other hand, has a slew of projects lined up across multiple languages, including Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi, as well as multilingual films like ‘Indian 2’ and ‘Ayalaan.’ The actress, who made her Bollywood debut in 2014 with ‘Yaariyan,’ has established herself as one of the leading stars in the South Indian film industry. She has also worked with some of the top actors and directors in the Hindi film industry, such as Ajay Devgn, Sidharth Malhotra, Arjun Kapoor, and Luv Ranjan.
