Hence, DJ Ganesh was roped in by the couple for the musical celebration.
Notably, DJ Ganesh has earlier performed at big Bollywood weddings including Ali Fazal-Richa Chadha and Kunal Rawal-Arpita Mehta and has also been a favorite of ace director Karan Johar, who invited the DJ for his 50th birthday bash.
Wishes
'Shershaah' producer wished the couple ahead of the wedding
The bride and groom-to-be were speculated to be dating after they started the shoot of the movie Shershaah.
The much-loved reel-life couple turned into a real-life couple, and Shabbir Boxwala, the producer of Shershaah expressed genuine glee on hearing the news.
Calling them "amazing people," the producer also hoped that the late Vikram Batra would also be blessing the couple from above.

Initially, the pheras were slated for Monday but were postponed to Tuesday.
Apart from the couple's friends and families, prominent celebrities from the industry also joined the celebrations.
Among the first guest celebrities to reach the venue were Johar, Shahid Kapoor, Mira Rajput Kapoor, and Advani's childhood friend Isha Ambani.
On Monday, actor Juhi Chawla was also spotted in Jaisalmer.
No-phone policy
Phones or no-phones policy at the wedding?
Reportedly, the couple has not instituted a no-phone policy.
According to ETimes, a VIP guest, who is inside the venue has confirmed that the rumors about "no phone" at the wedding are hogwash.
