Aarti Agarwal who hasn’t been in news for some time now has sprung a surprise on the media and her fans by tying the knot with an NRI in the city today morning. Draped in a pink and blue crepe saree, she went through the rituals like any demure Marwari bride. The groom, a bank employee in the US, was dressed in a dark brown kurta and a pagri for the wedding. The whole ceremony was held at the Arya Samaj in Ranigunj. What came as a blow to many in the media is the fact that none could find out while the arrangements for today’s wedding were on at the Samaj.

The New Jersey-based NRI happens to be Ujjwal Kumar Agarwal, from Ranchi, Jharkhand. Speculations are on that Aarti had met Ujjawal about six months back and that it was a wedding arranged by her family. Both the families were present at the venue. Aarti Agarwal herself was brought up in the US, before she got an offer in the Telugu films during a visit to Mumbai and soon became a leading actress here. No invites have been sent to the media, though messages were sent once the ceremony concluded. None from the film fraternity too have been invited to this sudden marriage. Reportedly, Aarti’s father Sasank Agarwal hit a media person following an argument. Later, he apologized to the scribe for his rash behaviour.

It is a well-known fact that Aarti was at one time dating Tarun. However, things did not go well between them and they parted ways. Aarti continued to stay in Hyderabad despite her career going downhill post her love affair and many felt that it was to get back to Tarun. But let’s hope that this latest twist to her tale will be a happy ending in Aarti’s life!

Cash missing at the wedding

It is being reported that Rs 5 lakh was lost by the wedding party at the venue. Given the sudden media hype and inquisitive fans coming to Arya Samaj once the news spread, the family lost the money they had brought along for wedding arrangements. Due to lots of confusion, the person who had taken the money hasn't been caught yet.
