It may be Christmas time in the rest of the world, but for those in Bollywood, the winter nip in the air usually signals the breaking out of lehengas and other traditional garb and getting ready for a slew of weddings. This year has seen a flurry of nuptials already. First there was Rajkummar Rao, who married his long-time girlfriend Patralekhaa, then there was Katrina Kaif who wed Kaushal over the weekend. Now even as the embers of the most recent Rajasthan wedding cool, the late Sushant Singh’s ex-girlfriend actor Ankita Lokhande has tied the knot.

Lokhande and her groom-to-be Vicky Jain posted a pre-wedding video of themselves, seemingly confirming the news on her Instagram on 12 December. The video, which is shot in Dubai, is as much an ode to the couple as it is to the city. The reel begins with the couple walking on a dune, pans to them on a yacht with the famous skyline in the backdrop, and ends with them hugging as the sun sets.
