Sharad took to Instagram to share this pleasant surprise with his fans and followers. He posted a picture of himself and Ripci standing before Ganpati idol. The couple is twinning in shades of yellow. While Sharad looks handsome in a yellow kurta, Ripci is shining in light yellow ethnic dress.

Sharad revealed that their meeting and the decision of marriage and ultimately the family involvement-all happened in a quite old fashioned way. The couple has been knowing each other for last few years but surprisingly, they didn't date. ''Ripci and my sister have known each other for a while since they are fellow designers. My sister had introduced us a couple of years back. We exchanged occasional pleasantries on social media. Recently, both the families got involved and we both spoke over the phone for a few days. We both instantly knew this is it and decided to take the plunge. And yes, for a change we didn’t want to date each other first! In fact, it all happened in a very old-fashioned way for us as we said yes without as much as meeting each other!,'' he told the entertainment portal.
