Richa-Ali wedding venue:
One of the pre-wedding venues is the sprawling lawns at Richa's friend's home where she will have her mehendi and sangeet. The place has a value of nostalgia as it's close to where she studied. The decor will be heavily inspired by nature with elements including wood, florals, jute, reflecting both the actors' love for nature.
Contrary to what many Bollywood actors do when they get married, Richa and Ali have decided to not go with the "no phone policy" at their wedding functions. The reason for that is that they want the mood of the functions to be fun and want their guests to be at maximum ease. Their invite also stated that "Leave your phones and enjoy yourself. Don't worry about capturing this moment on camera. Capture it in real time". The actors strongly feel that people can be at more ease when they don't have restrictions imposed on them. They want people to have their phones and still have a good time!
