The “super excited and super nervous” Divya admits as a little girl she always used to think about her wedding. “It’s very girl’s dream,” theBigg BossOTT winner mentions.Apurva, a restaurateur and Divya dated years before the latter stepped into the world of glamour. The two parted ways only to rekindle and get engaged at Divya’s 30th birthday last year. “I feel like I am already married to Apurva because the way we live, the way we can live our life together, the way we understand each other, it’s very much like we are married. And the feeling is amazing. I am 100% sure about what I want to do and it’s just a cake walk, there’s no cold feet, there’s no nervousness of, ‘What will happen after my wedding?’ But there are no such feelings. There’s only a beautiful and divine feeling. I really feel like I am so ready for marriage because a few months back I was a little girl but now I feel I am a grown up woman. It feels great to get married,” the Cartel actress elaborates.While the date for the wedding may not be decided, but theme is already in place. Divya reveals that her wedding will have “forest theme”. “We are thinking of a forest wedding. We are both plants and animal lovers,” she quips.As Divya mentioned about dreaming about her wedding she has also dreamt of the kind of bride she is going to be, for instance ditching the hot favourite pastel colours. “I’ve always imagined myself in a red outfit since childhood and I know pastel bride is a thing and everybody in Bollywood are using pastel color, but I think I’m going to stick to the basics, I’m going to stick to red and probably add a new color. It’s not going to be just a simple red lehenga, it’s going to be very different. I’m going to break a lot of stereotypes in terms of my wedding outfit, in terms of my wedding location, in terms of my wedding planning. I always dreamt of having a big fat Indian wedding. And I used to always get very fascinated with all the Rajasthani and royal weddings. But now for me, a wedding is a wedding. I wouldn’t even mind getting married in the same house that I live right now. Because for me, the ritual is important. For me, my family who is going to be attending the wedding are going to be important. I don’t want to have a huge big fat Indian wedding and not even enjoy my wedding myself. Because I really believe I’ve been attending so many weddings recently. It just feels like a marathon,” she signs off.
