Just like the couple have been tight-lipped about the wedding, Sonam and Anand had kept their relationship under the wraps for a long time. They caught attention when both of them were spotted at actor Akshay Kumar’s party hosted for Hollywood actor Will Smith.

Anand Ahuja, much like Sonam, has a good taste in fashion. He owns Indian sneaker brand VegNonVeg and a clothing brand too named Bhane.

Both share similar interests like travelling, fashion, and minimal living.

Anand, on the other hand, has always expressed his admiration for Sonam through his sweet notes on social media.

And now, after 3 years, they are about to get hitched. Though the Kapoor and Ahuja families have been quite secretive about the wedding, the lighting and decorations outside the Kapoor residence had added fuel to speculation about the wedding.
