Sonam Kapoor is set to tie the knot to businessman beau Anand Ahuja in a two-day ceremony on May 7 and 8, which will be spread across three locations in Mumbai.

The sangeet and mehendi ceremonies will be hosted at a luxurious hall inside a BKC building where the Kapoors also own a sprawling duplex. The celebrations will kick off on May 7 with a lot of song, dance and dhamaal. Anand’s extended family is flying in from the US, London and Delhi for the occassion, while choreographer Farah Khan has already begun designing routines that the couple and their friends will shake a leg to.

“The traditional Hindu wedding ceremony will take place on May 8 at Sonam’s aunt, Sunita Kapoor’s sister and art collector-connoisseur, Kavita Singh’s heritage bungalow at Bandstand,” a source close to the development informs Mirror. The bungalow, located close to Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat is one of the country’s finest homes boasting of art from across the globe, exquisite Buddha and Ganesha statues and dazzling chandeliers. “The reception, which takes place the same evening, will be at a suburban five-star owned by Sonam’s hotelier-bestie, Samyukta Nair,” the source adds.

For the last two months, Sonam and mom Sunita, had run into overdrive to lock a suitable venue for the ceremony. Now that the details are finalised, the duo is making personal calls to invite every guest, as the wedding cards are still being made. The guest list, which is constantly being updated is about 200-300 people, including family, friends, B-townies and politicians.

Meanwhile, Sonam, who holidayed with Anand in London, and also took off on a five-day retreat to her family favourite Austrian spa, has been glowing at her public appearances. The 32-year-old-actress looked stunning in a sharara at close designer friend Sandeep Khosla’s niece’s wedding on Saturday. Then, she went on to beat Monday blues by unwrapping a pair of sneakers that Anand gifted her. She joked on Instagram that her beau’s idea of romance always involved shoes.
