Karishma posted a video on Instagram in a joint post with Varun. In the video, Karishma is decked in a traditional pastel pink saree and gold jewellery. Varun wears a white kurta. She even receives a sweet kiss from him later on the video after describing that she’s feeling nervous and happy. “Still soaking in the love, blessings, and emotions from our very first South Indian style Godh Bharai together,” she wrote, posting the video. Varun hails from a Mangalorean background, while the actor is Gujarati.
Karishma also added, “Witnessing the beautiful Tulu rituals, sacred traditions, mantras, flowers, sarees, and every little custom so closely felt truly magical… almost like living a dream we had only imagined. From the poojas and family blessings to the warmth and love in every ritual, the entire day felt so pure, emotional, and deeply special for both of us and our little baby.”
She ended the note with, “A dream come true in the most beautiful, traditional way. Our hearts are full. Feeling deeply grateful, protected, pampered, and surrounded by love as we step into this beautiful new chapter together.”
