Breaking away from a traditional engagement function replete with rituals, Manish Naggdev has decided to exchange rings with his partner, Malika Juneja (HR manager), at a sundowner party in Goa. The two had a roka ceremony in July 2020 and are all set to get engaged on June 8. The wedding will take place in September and the two families are in the process of finalising the date. Manish, who has been part of shows like Udann, Begusarai and Banoo Main Teri Dulhann, says, “Malika and I had been planning the wedding for the past year. However, it kept getting postponed because of the COVID-19 scare. Since we plan to have an intimate wedding affair, we decided to have an engagement party. I wanted it to be a casual affair and not formal at all. Na koi load na koi tension, na hamein aur na hi guests ko. Now, there can’t be a better place than Goa for it. The engagement will be during the sunset by the pool. We tried to organise it in Mumbai, but it was turning out to be very expensive. At this stage, we didn’t want to spend a lot of money. The idea was to keep it small and have a great party.”
