Says a source, "It began at 11 am and was over in one-and-half hours. The Kapoors and Rajputs were certain that they wanted it to be an intimate affair. There were just about 40-odd people present for the nuptials. After a brief photo session as man and wife, the couple partied along with their respective families and close friends at the Trident Hotel where the reception took place." Another reception has also been planned on July 12 at the Palladium Hotel in Lower Parel here for Shahid's industry colleagues.
