Recalling her best moments at the wedding, Rucha admits that she really enjoyed every bit of the ceremonies, done in the traditional Indian style. She says, “A lot of people tell me that when they get married they are so nervous, that they don’t realise when the whole ceremony got over. But I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the wedding ceremony — from the puja, where the pujari explained the meaning of each and every vow and the pheras, and each ritual in the ceremony. It was a learning experience.”
