The date's out! Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and actress Kalki Koechlin are tying the knot on April 30 in Ooty. And why Ooty? Because Kalki has an attachement to the place. Her parents have a farmhouse there and she had grown up in the hill-station after the family shifted from Puducherry (Kalki's birthplace).
"The marriage as well as the reception is happening in Kalki's home there, which is in the middle of nowhere. So, no one can really track them down in Ooty.
Anurag and Kalki both are very private people and they did not want any media glare at their wedding. They are leaving town today (Monday) and are going to switch off their phones too. They have invited just 40 of their close friends for the marriage.
Only a few are from the industry. It is really that low-key as far as the Bollywood brigade is concerned," reveals our source.
The informer adds, "It is going to be a full South Indian wedding. Anurag and Kalki are tying the knot at around 11 in the morning on April 30 and a reception for the family and friends will be held the same night, at the same venue. The food that is being served is also going to be South Indian.
Kalki has looked into the menu herself and it has a few dishes that both Anurag and she drool on."
When contacted, Kalki only said, "Yes, the information that you have is true." Designer Laila Bijlani-Motwane, who has designed for star wives like Twinkle Khanna and Tanya Deol, is making the bride's trousseau. "She'll wear a green and gold kanjivaram saree with traditional South Indian gold jewellery for the wedding. For the reception, she is wearing a lehenga (see picture).
She wanted to wear something that she can dance comfortably in. She is a lively girl and we wanted to make something whimsical, something bubbly for her.
The lehenga has three colours — mango, orange and fuchsia, and it totally goes with her personality. There is zardozi work on the silk lehenga too," Laila says.
Anurag has designed his wedding outfit himself. "He is wearing a cream colour kurta-pajama. He was very excited to do it himself, and must say, he has done well," says Laila. Meanwhile, the couple, we hear, is planning to throw a big bash in Mumbai once they return to the city.
"They would obviously do something for the truck-load of people they know and are close to, but as of now they will only plan this reception post their wedding. It may happen mid-May," says the source.
Kalki-Anurag's new pad
Kalki and Anurag have just bought a new house in Versova, which is quite close to where Anurag and Kalki are living. They were very particular that they move into their new home after they get married. This is Anurag's second marriage. He was previously married to his college sweetheart Aarti Bajaj and has a daughter, Aaliya, with her.
