In an interview with the Bombay Times, Javed Akhtar had opened up about his son's marriage and had shared that it would be a simple wedding affair. It would take place at Javed Akhtar's family home in Khandala. They will have a few guests attending their wedding, keeping the COVID-19 protocols. The doting father had said:
"Yes, the wedding is taking place. Rest, shaadi ki jo taiyyariyan hain that is being taken care of by the wedding planners. Taking the situation into consideration it is obvious that we cannot host anything on a large scale. So, we are only calling a few people. It will be a very simple affair. Khair abhi tak toh invitations bhi nahi bheje gaye hai.”
