Rubina Diliak and Abhinav Shukla's wedding date revealed

Rubina Diliak and Abhinav Shukla are all set to tie knot in Shimla on June 21, 2018. Talking about the same Rubina said to a leading Indian daily, “We have chosen Shimla for various reasons. To begin with, most of our relatives are settled there. However, the prewedding functions will take place in Mumbai and Ludhiana, which Abhinav’s hometown. We are not going in for an elaborate ritual, as for us, what matters most is the saat phere. We both wanted it to be an outdoor affair. Abhinav, being an adventure junkie, wished to exchange vows amidst the mountains, in the lap of nature. I, too, wanted a day wedding with lots of natural light and greenery around.”

She was quizzed about feeling any jitters before getting hitched to her love, to this, she said, “I am not someone who will have jitters. The idea is to grow old together and know each other better, gradually. I am looking forward to exploring new things with him by my side. I believe that one shouldn’t know everything about his/her partner at one go. Slow discovery of each other lends newness to the relationship and keeps the spark alive.”


She further added that she can’t afford to go on a break as she doesn’t want to affect her work. “I don’t think I will get a break for more than 10 days, as I have to balance my work and personal life. I can’t let my work suffer," she said.

On being asked about plans for the honeymoon, she said, "Well, that can happen later. I don’t mind waiting for it, as anticipation adds to the excitement."
