Rubina Dilaik will be tying the knot with her boyfriend Abhinav Shukla on June 21, 2018. Their wedding will take place in her hometown of Shimla, Himachal Pradesh.

The actors have been dating each other for a long time. About her wedding, Rubina Dilaik told Hindustan Times, "We have to balance our personal and private lives right now and we are living up to it."

The Shakti actor revealed that she and Abhinav will be exchanging seven vows after the traditional wedding. The couple has kept the vows secret from each other.

"I am feeling neither nervousness nor excitement, as the preparations for the wedding and my ongoing TV show shoot schedules have left me numb (laughs). Coordinating things is very difficult. I have hardly slept for four to five hours a day in the last one-and-a half months. Abhinav and I have decided to exchange seven vows after the traditional wedding. I have written mine and I hope he has too. We have kept them secret from each other. Those vows are a new addition to our wedding and I can’t wait for that moment. Abhinav and I will surprise each other. We believe in Indian traditions and have always wanted the whole nine yards, including all the rituals and functions. I am not focusing on the buzz yet. I understand that as both of us are public figures, anything and everything we do is talked about. But we also try to keep our personal lives as low profile as possible," said the actor.

Rubina revealed that although to avoid the media attention, the wedding functions will be held in a palace in Shimla. However, the media is invited to their wedding. "To keep the wedding a private affair, we will have the functions in a palace in Shimla, away from the media. Our families will also be more comfortable without the media around. However, we will invite the media and our friends to the reception in Mumbai. I always wanted a fairy tale wedding and wanted to get married in a palace, and I am glad that this dream will come true. It is a privilege and an honour that Raj Kumar Uday Singh said that they would love to host the wedding at the palace. It is a beautiful heritage palace that has stood since the time of the British rule."

The couple will be hosting reception party in Ludhiana and Mumbai. Dilaik says, "I will be taking ten days off, which includes travelling. It is not enough. It will be hectic, as travelling to and from Shimla will take three days, and then we have the wedding functions for five days. Later, there will be a reception in Ludhiana, Punjab, followed by one in Mumbai."
