Now that the buzz surrounding the wedding of star couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor has finally died down, Bollywood is gearing up for yet, another ‘happily ever after’, and this time it’s for the elusive actress Vidya Balan and her beau and UTV-Disney head honcho Siddarth Roy Kapoor.

According to the rumour mills, Vidya and Sid are supposed to tie the knot on December 14.

The couple, however, has remained tight-lipped about their big day.

The Indian media, however, is closely monitoring the star couple, and ensuring they are roped in on all the wedding festivities.

This will be Vidya’s first and Siddarth’s third wedding.

Since they come from different backgrounds, their wedding will be a combination of their Punjabi and Tamil roots.

We’ve learnt that the sangeet ceremony will be held on December 11 at Vidya’s Khar residence for her family and close friends.

It is reported that Vidya’s cousins will dance to her hit songs at the ceremony, while Sid’s actor-brothers Aditya and Kunal will also perform.

There’s also talks that the actress will perform to her hit dance track ‘Oh La La’ from her famous film ‘Dirty Picture’.

Vidya’s trousseau will be designed by her close friend and designer Sabyasachi, who is adding the final touches to her wedding saree.

While some sources insist Vidya and Sid are planning a quiet wedding away from Mumbai, another report suggests that the wedding will be held at Sid’s parent’s sprawling Cuffe Parade apartment in Jolly Maker Towers.

A source claims the couple will then fly to Chennai for another celebration, mostly to honour Vidya’s Chennai background.

After the two-city celebrations, the couple is expected to go on a Caribbean cruise. Once back, the newly-weds will probably shift into the Rs14-crore Juhu apartment that Sid had recently purchased.

It is believed that the Bollywood guestlist will include Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Ekta Kapoor, Milan Luthria and Vishal Bhardwaj.

Despite being spotted on numerous occasions together, the two have never publicly acknowledged their relationship so far.

We believe love blossomed on the set of ‘No One Killed Jessica’, which was produced by UTV and saw Vidya in the lead.

It was only after dating for two years that Vidya finally admitted to the relationship. They followed it up with numerous public outings and vacations.

Vidya, whose movie career has since sky-rocketed post super-successes like ‘Dirty Picture’ and ‘Kahaani’, will be working till she finally says, “I do”.

Some sources on the set of her new movie ‘Ghanchakkar’ told the media that the entire schedule of the film was planned according to Vidya’s wedding.

Apparently, the wedding date was set a long time ago, and this is the only movie Vidya is currently working on. “Since it (‘Ghanchakkar’) is produced by UTV it was convenient to co-ordinate her shooting schedule with her wedding date.”

However, recent remarks from director Rajkumar Gupta confirming a three-day shoot between December 12 and 15 does question whether the wedding date floated in the media is actually accurate.
