Bhumika Chawla and Bharat Thakur wedding...

WEDDING is a very auspicious day for anyone and so it would be for BHUMIKA CHAWLA too... She is as you already know is marrying very famous Yoga Guru BHARAT THAKUR on 25th of October. It will be solemnized according to Punjabi and Bihari rituals. The bride’s wedding ensemble is simple, but elegant. It will include a Ghagra for the Punjabi ceremony and a Banarasi red silk sari for the Bihari. An 80-year-old jeweler from Bharat's hometown in Bihar is designing the Maang Tika, Necklace and Bangles for her.




Now that her trousseau's taken care of, Bhumika's mind is on her would-be Bharat’s preparations for their wedding day. Well, he is sporting a beard for the occasion to impress Bhumika’s father who is a retired army colonel who wears a Pagdi! Complaining about her cool and unruffled Yogacharya would-be, Bhumika says, "He acts at the last minute..." If you didn't knew before... Bhumika first met Bharat "Smoking" at a party thrown by Salman Khan. It was a moment they remember and cherish. "I was telling a friend that I need to start yoga. And there was Bharat at the same party! I never imagined this would be a permanent bond then, but I’m happy it’s progressed that way..." reveals a shy Bhumika.

Bharat, of course, had known about her for long. He admits shyly that he had selected Bhumika as his wife years ago after seeing her in the Tamil movie Rojakuttam. "I used to ride a red Vespa scooter then and when I saw Bhumika on screen and told my friends that if ever I settled down, it would be only with this heroine, they laughed..." he says. Bhumika has succeeded in getting him accustomed to Bollywood. And so comfortable is the yoga master with the industry, that he intends to turn producer after their marriage. "I will cast her as the heroine in all my movies..." says the wannabe producer who plans to give up smoking for his would-be. Bhumika blushes, "That’s kind of him but variety must be offered. And work to me is like worship. I will continue working even after marriage..."




“Baba, aapne mera naam Neerjara kyon rakha hai?” These are the famous words which made history in the smash hit Tere Naam and were mouthed by the ‘innocence personified’ lass Bhumika Chawla. Well, it was the same innocent smile and warmth that greeted the Bollywood’s who’s who, in her wedding with the renowned yoga guru Bharat Thakur.
