Actress Sameera Reddy tied the knot with fiance Akshai Varde in Mumbai on 21 January.
It was a Maharashtrian style wedding attended by Sameera and the groom's close family members and friends.
Sameera met Mumbai-based business man Akshai Varde two and a half years ago during a bike shoot and started dating soon after. Akshai co-owns Vardenchi motorcycles, a company that designs customised bikes.
The duo got engaged in a private ceremony at Sameera's Bandra residence on 14 December, 2013. They were reportedly planning to get married in April this year, but advanced the wedding date as both their families were together in the city at the same time.
The sangeet and mehndi ceremony took place on Monday night and the wedding was held on Tuesday night. As Sameera was getting ready for the marriage, she told The Times of India, "I am over the moon. He is everything that I wanted in a man and more. Our families are extremely happy and I couldn't have asked for more."
The actress wore fashion designer Nishka Lulla's bridal ensemble and looked gorgeous in a golden and red sari.
Apparently, Sameera's sister Sushama had made the arrangements for the wedding, which took place at the actress's house. Around 60 people, close friends and family friends, attended the wedding. Nishka Lulla and industrialist Vijay Mallya were also present at the occasion.
Sameera, who began her acting career in 2002 with "Maine Dil Tujhko Diya", has starred in more than 30 films in various languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Bengali. Her Bollywood film "Naam", a 10-year-old project, is still awaiting its release. It is not known whether Sameera will be continuing her acting career post marriage.
