Actress Lisa Ray, who will tie the knot with her American fiance Jason Dehni in California on October 20th is all excited about her wedding, which will be in typical Indian style. The 40-year-old Water star will marry the management executive at Napa Valley. However, the reception will take place in India.

Speaking to PTI, the energetic and dazzling Lisa Ray said, "I have never been so happy before in my life. I am nervous and at the same time excited as the wedding is approaching. I am shopping a lot in India. It will be a typical Indian style wedding."

"My fiance and I have planned my reception in India for my friends here though we haven't decided the venue yet," she added.

Lisa Ray's wedding gown is being designed by Wendell Rodricks with loads of Indian embellishments in it.

"I was in Goa few days ago for my fitting session with Wendell. He is a dear friend of mine. He told me that he will use some Indian embellishments in it. In my sangeet and mehendi, I will be wearing Indian dresses," said Lisa, who was in the Capital last night to launch Swiss watch brand Rado's avant-garde collection.

Lisa also added that her fiance loves to learn about Indian culture and films and she is thinking of making him watch Vidya Balan's The Dirty Picture.

"I have been feeding him about Indian culture and films. He loves Indian food. He has watched many Hindi films and the latest one on his list is Dev D. I am going to show him Dirty Picture next," she said.

Lisa, who is now cancer-free said, she is enjoying the "second chapter" of life. The actress was first diagnosed with multiple myeloma three years ago. The Toronto-based actress has signed a couple of movies and will also produce two of them. The beautiful actress will also be seen hosting Top Chef Canada.
