Rode and Khanvilkar took to their Instagram stories and shared pictures of the couple, confirming that the couple got married.


The groom arrived with his baraat in a vintage car, pictures and videos of which were shared by her fans on social media.

For the ceremony, the 36-year-old Pavitra Rishta star wore a golden lehenga while Jain matched the bride with a golden-white sherwani. The couple had been dating for over two years.

The wedding festivities of the couple began from Saturday with a mehendi ceremony, followed by an engagement and the sangeet night, which was also attended by Lokhande's close friend, actor Kangana Ranaut.

A red-carpet event for the couple's reception was called off due to rising COVID cases in the city.
