“We wanted to have a small ceremony for our wedding. There were only about 100 people, comprising family and close friends," Vir said in a statement, reports IANS. “I preferred my wedding to be a quiet affair. The rule at the wedding event was that everyone (MUST) switch off their phones to spend quality time with each other,” he added.

The wedding saw a pool party, a rock concert, sangeet ceremony and the 'pheras'. A source said to IANS, “Owing to Vir and Shivani’s busy schedule, the couple haven’t had the time to go for a honeymoon, but would be soon taking time out."
