Actor Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar will get married on Saturday, February 19, after months of anticipation. With close friends and family members in attendance, the couple will have a small wedding ceremony.
Farhan Akhtar's daughters from his former marriage to Adhuna Bhabani will be in attendance, according to reports. Akhtar and Bhabani divorced in 2017 and have two children, Shakya and Akira.
According to a report by IndiaToday.in, a close friend of Akhtar stated, “He introduced Shibani to his kids early on, so that they got to know her a bit and also got to spend time with them. It is beautiful how the kids have formed a bond with Shibani and now will be at the wedding to officially welcome her into their family."
