Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani changed wedding location

They changed their wedding venue to India influenced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for families to host their wedding festivities within India. The couple originally planned a destination wedding in the Middle East and made a last-minute decision to align with PM Modi’s call.

A source close to the couple revealed, "Rakul and Jacky had initially planned for their wedding to take place in the Middle East. After nearly six months of meticulous planning, everything was pretty much in order. However, following the call from the Indian Prime Minister in December, urging rich and influential families to choose India as the venue for their big life events, Rakul and Jackky reconsidered their original plans and relocated the wedding to India."

"Their decision, made in mid-December, necessitated a complete reset, involving the destination, and accommodations. Despite the considerable changes, the couple embraced the overhaul, driven by their love for the country and desire to contribute to its growing economy," the source concluded.
