Their wedding, set against the picturesque backdrop of Goa, was a celebration of love witnessed by their nearest and dearest.

Rakul Preet Singh on how Jackky Bhagnani won her father over during their first meeting
In a recent conversation with DNA, the newlywed Rakul Preet Singh was questioned about whether Jackky Bhagnani felt nervous about meeting her father, a retired officer of the Indian Army. Rakul revealed that she herself was the most worried in that situation.
She confessed to having briefed her father beforehand, informing him about Jackky's impending visit and urging him not to make things awkward since Jackky wasn't from an army background. However, she noted that as fathers tend to do, her dad asked straightforward questions, though her now-husband, Jackky, was prepared.
Reflecting on their first encounter, Rakul recounted the instance when Jackky visited Delhi for her mother's birthday. She said that she had advised her father not to make it awkward since they had just started dating, instructing him to simply “see the boy.” Rakul disclosed that she had assured Jackky not to worry, telling him that her father wouldn't inquire much. 
“Then we were having lunch and my dad asked him what his plan was. He started with plans for his next release Mission Raniganj. My dad just said, ‘work and all is good, but what is your plan with my daughter?’ My food got stuck in my throat,” Rakul recalled.
Rakul further shared that Jackky's reply to her father's query won him over. She stated, “The funniest thing was that he just took it very well and said, ‘whenever she is ready, I am ready.’ And that was it, my father became a fan.”
