The couple had decided on a destination wedding in the Middle East, but they changed the location to India influenced by PM Modi's call for families to host their wedding ceremony within India. At the last minute, they decided to get married in Goa in the attendance of their family and close friends.

A source close to the couple revealed, "Rakul and Jacky had initially planned for their wedding to take place in the Middle East. After nearly six months of meticulous planning, everything was pretty much in order. However, following the call from the Indian Prime Minister in December, urging rich and influential families to choose India as the venue for their big life events, Rakul and Jackky reconsidered their original plans and relocated the wedding to India."

"Their decision, made in mid-December, necessitated a complete reset, involving the destination, and accommodations. Despite the considerable changes, the couple embraced the overhaul, driven by their love for the country and desire to contribute to its growing economy," the source added.

Jackky Bhagnani confirmed his relationship with Rakul in October 2021 on the actress' birthday.
