She's known for penning daily soaps like Imlie (Star Plus) and Sindoor Ki Keemat (Dangal TV).

The couple will be exchanging wedding vows on December 8 in a destination marriage in Jaipur.

Talking about their love story, Saahil told ETimes, "Love happens on its own. We were introduced by my flatmates who were her college friends around six years ago. We hit it off instantly and became best friends. That's the best part about our relationship. Eventually, we fell in love and decided to take the plunge (smiles). Apart from her nature, she is quite creative. That's what attracted me to her most. She has also done a course in direction."

On being asked about choosing Jaipur as his wedding destination, he stated, "We wanted to have a destination wedding. I have a huge family and it wasn't feasible for everyone to travel to places like Goa. Jaipur from my hometown, Delhi, seemed to be the most convenient choice."

After becoming man and wife next month, Saahil and Aakriti are likely to host a wedding reception in Mumbai for their industry friends. Confirming the same, Saahil further said, "We have not decided about it yet. But we will definitely throw a small party for our close friends."
