Sayyeshaa and Arya's wedding will reportedly take place as per Muslim traditions, as claimed by many media portals. March 09, 2019 has been reported to be the D-day and the place would be Hyderabad. A grand reception would follow in Mumbai after a few days, the date of which hasn't been finalised yet.

Arya was earlier looking for his life partner through a swayamvar show called, Enga Veetu Mapillai just like Mallika Sherawat’s The Bachelorette- Mere Khayalonki Malika. Before the commencement of the show, a video of Arya got leaked in which he was saying, "Generally, people look for their life partner through their friends, family, or through matrimonial sites. But I am not like that. I don’t have any demands or conditions. If you like me, and if you think I will make a good life partner, please call – 7330173301. This is not a joke or a prank. This is my life matter, please call at this number. Waiting for your call." The video generated lot of controversies and Arya later refused to marry the finalist of the show.

During her launch in the Hindi film industry, Sayyeshaa was asked about her choice of making her debut in Shivaay opposite a great cast. She had then replied, "I do not think anyone will compare me with Erika Karr, who’s the other leading lady. People ask me if I am romantically cast with Ajay-sir at all, but, for that, they have to wait and watch the film! My role is acting-oriented and is about a young Indian girl who stands on her own feet, knows exactly what she wants, and is working in Bulgaria. She supports Ajay in his troubles."

Commenting on Ajay Devgn's craft, the 21-year-old actress was also quoted as saying, "As an actor, he’s completely effortless, after all the experience he has. As a director, he’s very meticulous and planned in his approach. When he was not in a shot, he would be operating one of the cameras himself. And he made me so comfortable — not once did he behave like a big star." (Don't Miss: Ekta Kapoor And Karan Johar's Surrogate Baby Boys, Ravie And Yash Have This Thing In Common)
