Vrajesh Hirjee, who's featured prominently in Rohit Shetty's Golmaal series and Hrithik Roshan starrer Kaho Na Pyar Hai, tied the knot with Rohini Banerjee, his girlfriend of seven years, at a private ceremony on the 17th of October.
The couple got hitched at the bride's Mumbai residence. "It was an intimate affair with only 35-40 family members and friends in attendance. All the arrangements were made in the last six days; we didn't even have the time to print out invitation cards," admits the newlywed actor, adding that since his father-in-law is a senior captain in the merchant navy, they had to plan the wedding at a time when he wasn't sailing, to explain the frantic run-up to his D-Day.
Vrajesh and Rohini met while doing a play together, and have been living with each other for the last four years. "There was never any pressure from our parents to get married," he asserts.
The wedding ceremony was a traditional Bengali one, even though Vrajesh is from the Kutchi community. "My wife is a Bengali and most of their rituals are similar to ours. It was a beautiful wedding," says the 44-year-old actor, who resumed work on Monday.
No honeymoon on the cards? "We have been travelling a lot and may go to Rajasthan towards the month-end, but we're definitely going to Leh in mid-January," he reveals.
Has anything changed post marriage? "It's just been a day, but I have to admit that the heart does beat faster on an occasion like this. However, I am sure it is going to be lovely. We kind of complete each other," he says bashfully.
