The match is an arranged one with both families knowing each other well. Rukmini belongs to the aviation industry and Neil's father Nitin Mukesh told that the family is "ecstatic" that he is finally settling down.
Nitn Mukesh revealed that Neil is old school and left the task of finding a soul mate for him to his family.
“He left the decision of finding his soulmate in his parents' trusted hands and there couldn't have been a better match for him than Rukmini,” Nitin Mukesh said in a statement.
He said the bride-to-be has "already won the hearts" of the Mukesh family "with her simplicity and upbringing".
"She reflects the values and traditions that Neil has been raised with and compliments him in every way possible. The celebrations to the final countdown have already begun," Nitin Mukesh added.
Here are the pics from the ceremony:
For the ceremony, Neil, 34 was seen sporting a black sherwani, while Rukmini, 27, flaunted a traditional look in pink and blue heavily embellished lehenga. A simple gajra enhanced her look, even as she looked excited for her special day with Neil, as seen in some photographs that emerged on social media.
According to a source in the know of developments, Neil and Rukmini were in a courtship for a month.
