Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's younger son, Jay Pawar, tied the knot with his fiancée Rutuja Patil in Bahrain on Friday. NCP-SP Working President and Jay's aunt, Supriya Sule, shared dreamy pictures of the wedding ceremony on X (formerly Twitter).
Sharing pictures, Sule congratulated the couple and wrote, "Congratulations to Jay and Rutuja on their beautiful wedding in Bahrain today. It is a moment of great joy for our family as they begin this new chapter together." "Wishing them a lifetime of love, grace, and enduring companionship, may they always stay happy and blessed," she added.
According to reports, a total of 400 guests were invited for the wedding. Only two senior NCP leaders, Praful Patel and Sunil Tatkare, were reportedly invited for the four-day event at the luxury Jumeirah property in the Gulf nation.
There was a traditional mehendi ceremony on December 4, followed by haldi, baarat, and the main wedding rituals on December 5. The families will spend the afternoon of December 6 playing beach games, followed by sangeet in the evening. The celebrations will conclude with a reception on December 7.
