The actor also posed solo for two pictures with flower decorations as the backdrop. Sayantani and Anugrah have been reportedly dating for eight years. They are getting married on Sunday.

She shared the pictures and wrote, “The best thing in life is to hold on to each other, and here we are about to begin a new chapter in our lives As we start our new journey, we have had an eternal blessing from my dida. The saree and my bangles that I’m wearing were given to me by her and it feels like she was a part of our celebration last night.”

Sayantani Ghosh also posted pictures on her Instagram Stories. In one of them, she posed with her bridesmaids and showcased the bangles - shaankha pola - traditionally worn by married Bengali women, in another one. “My dream has always been to wear the shaankha pola. Finally that moment.” On Sunday afternoon, the actor also shared a glimpse of her “bride-to-be look” as she got ready for the wedding.

Sayantani Ghosh is a Bengali while Anugrah is a Rajasthani. Asked about the ‘clash of cultures’, Sayantani told Hindustan Times in an interview, “We are not following any cultures. We are opting for simple rituals and nothing elaborative. There will be kanyadan, warmala, pheras, sindoor and mangalsutra – the common ones that we have (in the cultures that both follow).” She added that her honeymoon is on hold till 2022: “No plans yet! I immediately report back to work. Honeymoon has to be kept on hold till 2022.”
