Bipasha Basu, Harman Baweja to Tie the Knot

After John Abraham's New Year wedding to girlfriend Priya Runchal, his ex-flame Bipasha Basu too has decided to tie the knot this year with steady date Harman Baweja. Sources close to the couple maintain that the actress' decision was made before John announced his marriage on Twitter. But Bipasha and Harman will make their plans official only after his film 'Dhishkiyaon', produced by Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra, hits theatres. The film is slated to release in August. Bipasha's parents, HK and Mamta Basu, had their first formal meeting with Harman's parents, producer Harry Baweja and wife Pammi, at the Bawejas' residence in Lokhandwala Complex. A close friend of the actress told this newspaper, "After that meeting, their respective parents have met quite a few times." Added the friend, "Bipasha and Harman are really serious about each other. I am sure that they want to tie the knot this year." The two were first spotted together when the actress arrived at Jackyy Bhagnani's birthday party in Harman's car in December 2012. While the tongues were still wagging, the two were again spotted at a North Goa resort, ushering in Bipasha's birthday at a pool party. They soon started stepping out together in public and it was clear that this relationship was for keeps when the 33-year-old actor flew to London in October 2013, to keep Bipasha company while she was shooting for Sajid Khan's 'Humshakals'. On Monday night, Bipasha ushered in her 35th birthday with Harman at a party at her Khar pad, and guests included her parents and younger sister, R Madhavan, Rocky S, Dipannita Sharma, Sophie Chaudhary, Shamita Shetty, Shilpa and Raj. Says a friend present at the party, "The theme of the evening was pink and white and hats were mandatory. The fare on offer was all-Bengali and the party continued till the wee hours of Tuesday, first on her terrace and then in the apartment."
