Going public

Adds a friend, "They met at a common friend's party and immediately hit it off. She's very media-shy, which is why they haven't gone out in public.

But now that they are taking the big step, Nikhil has started telling his friends about her."

The source continues, "The wedding will be a small affair attended by family members and close friends. They won't be anyone from the film industry at the shaadi.

However, will be a reception after the wedding where the groom will invite his friends, co-actors and filmmakers that he's worked with and is friendly with."

Before finalising the wedding date, he wrapped his film assignments, and a commercial. "He starts shooting for another film on March 12.

There is no immediate plan for a honeymoon as Nikhil wants to make sure his work assignments don't get affected."
