Mumbai : After a five-year courtship, actor Vir Das tied the knot with girlfriend Shivani Mathur at a secret ceremony in Sri Lanka.

The duo exchanged vows on Oct 19.

“We wanted to have a small ceremony for our wedding. There were only about 100 people, comprising family and close friends," Vir said in a statement.

“I preferred my wedding to be a quiet affair. The rule at the wedding event was that everyone switched off their smart phones to spend quality time with each other,” he added.

The wedding consisted of a pool party, a rock concert, the sangeet ceremony and then the pheras.

“Owing to Vir and Shivani’s busy schedule, the couple haven’t had the time to go for a honeymoon, but would be soon taking time out,” said a source.

The actor will be seen in films like “Santa Banta” and “Mastizaade” that will release in the first half of 2015.
