Im not feeling married right now, it will take some time to sink in. Im very happy Imran told reporters after reaching home.

Asked how he felt after breaking the hearts of his female fans, the 27-year-old said: “Ive been in a relationship for the past eight years so the point of breaking hearts doesnt arise. Everyone always knew that Im dating and was never single, so getting married is nothing new.”

Imrans maternal uncle, Aamir was dressed in black sherwani with self-print and a maroon churidar and his wife Kiran Rao went traditional too, donning a purple-gold lehenga choli.
