The Sharmas and Moranis are having a gala time in the Maldives with their relatives and close friends–Varun Dhawan, Zoa Morani, Shraddha Kapoor, Siddhanth Kapoor, Shakti Kapoor, Shivangi Kolhapure, Padmini Kolhapure, Tutu Sharma, Karim Morani and family, Mohammed Morani and family, Padmini’s best friend Poonam Dhillon and Poonam’s ex-husband Ashok Thakeria. However, ETimes has it that fate has thrown a spanner in the celebrations which would have extended to Aamby Valley or Khandala, where the families had wanted to conduct the Hindu wedding ceremony.

To be held on March 5, the event was supposed to be an extravagant affair with 250 invitees. “But that’s not happening for now as there has been a resurgence of COVID cases in Maharashtra and the rules have brought the otherwise permissible limit of 250 individuals to 50 again. In view of this, the Sharmas and Moranis will have the Hindu wedding done soon but at a later date. The Maldives festivities were a pre-wedding celebration to the Hindu wedding which was meant to follow four days from now,” informs a source.

When contacted, Mohammed Morani, bride Shaza Morani‘s uncle, confirmed the same, adding, “We respect the law and will not put anybody to risk.”

ETimes was the first to report that Priyank and Shaza had a court marriage on February 4. The same evening, there was a small gathering at the Morani residence in Juhu which was attended by celebrities like Anil Kapoor, Boney Kapoor, Sunny Deol, Poonam Dhillon, Bhagyashree, Juhi Chawla, Nikhil Dwivedi, Rajkumar Santoshi, Rumi Jaffrey amongst many others. Post that, Shaza’s sister Zoa spoke to us in detail about the newlywed couple’s love story that began 16 years ago and culminated in marriage.
