In a letter to Jackky’s parents, Vashu and Pooja Bhagnani, PM Modi wrote, “As Jackky and Rakul commence the journey of trust and togetherness for a lifetime, heartiest congratulations and greetings to them on the auspicious occasion of their wedding.

“The years to come are an opportunity for the couple to discover each other, while also embarking together on the path of self-discovery.”

He went on to say, “May the couple’s hearts, minds and actions be one. Being there by each other’s side at all times, holding each other’s hands in their quest to realise their dreams and aspirations, assuming responsibilities thoughtfully and affectionately, may the groom and the bride be perfect partners in the voyage of life by accepting each other’s imperfections and learning from each other’s virtues.

Jackky and Rakul tied the nuptial knot on Wednesday in Goa. The festivities began with the haldi and sangeet ceremonies. The sangeet was hosted by actor Riteish Deshmukh and actress Bhumi Pednekar. And then there were two weddings — one following the Sikh tradition and the other, a Sindhi-style ceremony.
