Sonam’s pre-wedding functions like mehendi, sangeet will be held at different places and her wedding will take place at another venue.
An insider of the Kapoors revealed, “Yes, the initial plan was to have a destination wedding but it’s because of Sonam’s grandmother that they decided to change the venue and keep it somewhere close to their residence. Sonam’s grand mom can’t travel that far and the family obviously feels her presence is more important than the destination.” The wedding will take place at Sonam’s maternal aunt, Kavita Singh’s Bandra heritage mansion.
