Of
India
report,
the

for

Mreenal
revealed
the
reason
for
their
court
marriage
and
was
all
praise
for
her
husband
Ashim.
She
called
herself
lucky
to
have
found
Ashim,
who
pampers
her
to
the
hilt
and
also
keeps
her
grounded.
The
actress
was
quoted
by
the
leading
daily
as
saying,
"Ashim
and
I
are
not
traditional
and
had
never
planned
to
have
an
elaborate
wedding
function.
After
we
got
engaged,
the
plan
was
to
register
the
marriage,
which
we
did
after
taking
the
blessings
of
our
parents.
We
realised
that
we
couldn't
live
without
each
other
so
decided
to
settle
down."
She
added,
"I'm
just
plain
lucky
that
I
found
Ashim
-
he
pampers
me
to
the
hilt
but
at
the
same
time
keeps
me
grounded.
He
is
a
man
of
his
word
and
it
feels
great
to
have
a
person
like
him
be
my
partner
for
this
lifetime.
To
cut
the
long
story
short,
we
registered
our
marriage
at
the
court
on
July
5
and
now,
we
are
throwing
a
party
to
celebrate
our
union
with
our
family
and
friends."
According
to
the
report,
the
couple
will
have
their
mehndi
ceremony
today
(July
8),
which
will
be
attended
only
by
their
families.
When
asked
about
her
future
plans,
she
said
that
their
focus
is
on
their
careers
and
they
want
to
do
good
work
in
their
respective
fields.
She
added
that
Ashim
always
encourages
her
to
do
better
each
day
and
that
is
what
she
loves
about
him.
She
concluded
by
saying
that
she
wants
to
play
challenging
characters
and
continue
building
a
body
of
work,
be
it
TV
or
OTT.
