She is one of the most successful South Indian film stars to have crossed over to Bollywood and is one of India’s most popular film actors. He is founder of Micromax and one of India’s brave new, highly successful entrepreneurs. She is Christian, he is Hindu. She is Asin and he is Rahul Sharma and their upcoming wedding on 19th January 2016 in the national capital, followed by a reception on January 23rd in Mumbai is what everyone is talking about for all the right reasons.

She is a very successful actor, he a successful entrepreneur. They are both at the top of their game in their respective spheres. They are talented and hard working and have carved a niche for themselves in their chosen fields. As such they are an inspiration to young Indian people with ambition; people with drive looking to achieve something extraordinary. It is thought that the two will have a small, private ceremony with only close friends and family in attendance. It is good to know that two such successful individuals are not interested in conspicuous consumption and the flaunting of wealth on their special day.
They embody what it means to be an all embracing Indian
The couple’s diverse faiths mean that they will have two wedding ceremonies – Christian and Hindu. This embodies what it means to be a true Indian today: having faith in one’s own beliefs and pride in one’s own traditions but at the same time being respectful and accepting of other faiths and ways of life. This is about the union of two belief systems and about espousing the best in both; about accepting the all embracing nature of the spirit of India. Young India repeatedly shows us that when it comes to love, religious denominations, class divides and regional vicissitudes are largely irrelevant.
Akshay Kumar received an invite
The first to receive an in invite in Bollywood was co-star Akshay Kumar, because it was he who introduced the two to each other. As Asin’s co-star in Khiladi 786 and Housefull 2, he is one of just a few select Bollywood invitees to the wedding.

Right now all of India joins the chorus wishing Asin and Rahul Sharma a long and happy married life!
