Actor Kajal Aggarwal is now married! The actor married her fiancé, businessman Gautam Kitchlu, in a low-key ceremony on Friday evening. Kajal wore a red lehenga, accessorised with a kundan necklace and maang tikka, while her hands were filled with red bangles and gold 'kaliras', a symbolic ornament worn by the bride which is also part of a few wedding rituals.
Gautam was in a light pink sherwani.
Hours before the wedding, Kajal shared a black and white photo in the middle of getting ready for the wedding ceremony, with the caption, “Calm before the storm.”

The actor, who is known for her work in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi films, shared a few images from the pre-wedding festivities on Thursday and Friday.
Photos from her haldi ceremony (a Hindu pre-wedding ritual where turmeric paste is applied to the bride) showed her smiling with her face crinkled up, as turmeric was applied to her face.
