The Story in Brief
Singer Sukriti Kakar is engaged to her boyfriend of five years, Shoumik Shetty. The two got engaged in Tuscany on July 31, and announced it on Instagram on Tuesday. Sukriti's sister, singer Prakriti Kakar, and fellow musicians Armaan Malik and Stebin Ben were among those who congratulated the couple.
In an exclusive interview with Hindustan Times, the couple said they deliberately kept their relationship private for five years. Shoumik planned the proposal for months and sought approval from Sukriti's parents and sisters beforehand. The couple revealed their wedding will be a 'two states' kind of wedding.
The Indian Opinion
Bollywood wedding season is in full swing, and the media loves packaging each engagement as a fairy tale. But Sukriti and Shoumik's deliberate five-year privacy is a quiet rebuke to the notion that a public relationship is the only valid one. Every Instagram post is not a confession; some are just an announcement. The real test will be whether the media respects that boundary after the wedding too.
