Comedian Kapil Sharma who recently announced his comeback on the small screen is all set to walk down the aisle. Speculations of his December wedding seem to be true, the star comedian will indeed be getting into the wedlock on December 12. His family has already started preparations for the big fat Punjabi wedding.

Opening up on the topic of his marriage, Kapil said: "The wedding is on December 12 in Jalandhar. That's Ginni's hometown. We wanted to keep it low key. But Ginni is the only daughter in her family. Her folks wanted the wedding to be on a lavish scale. And I completely understand their sentiments. My mother also wants the wedding to be lavish."

Kapil recalls how his elder brother was married with minimum ostentation. "During the time when my brother married, I had not started earning well. We just went as a small baraat (wedding procession) and got bhabhi (sister-in-law) home. But by the time my sister got married, I had begun to earn well. So we had a fairly large wedding. It was lavish by our standards."

Kapil, whose life and career has been under a cloud for some time now, says he wanted to keep the wedding under wraps. "For the past few weeks, I've been promoting my Punjabi film. I didn't want to talk about the wedding during the promotions, although the media repeatedly kept asking," he said.

The wedding will be followed by a reception in Mumbai, on December 14. Kapil had made his relationship with Ginni public in March last year.
