She has the web in an uproar, but don’t be fooled – it has nothing to do with a new show. A source in her orbit has put it to rest: she and Ishmael are getting married. The fans have been on to something for weeks, and now the romance is in full swing as they plan the nuptials.
The buzz begins
You could say it was a Reel of a wedding dance where she made a little quip, the type of thing a superfan will latched on to. Then you see who she is following and you start to put two and two together. What was once a hush-hush has become a bit of a story.
And it is not just for show. Word on the street is the pair are no longer in the dating phase; they are making headway on their big day. For once, the rumour mill has it right.
Inside the relationship
Winget and Ishmael have been an item for a while. Those who know them will tell you they are easy on each other. He put a ring on it during a getaway and she was on board. From there, the private happiness gave way to the nitty-gritty of planning.
She is on top of it all. We are talking mood boards, the right colour scheme, and comparing services. An insider would have you believe she is as hands-on as a producer in the making of a season finale when it comes to vetting vendors.
The wedding plan and timeline
A Christian service is up for consideration, and they have two periods in mind: come September-October or around the New Year. They are looking at venues and trying to find a spot with the right feel and good logistics, without being too much.
Here is what you can expect to see down the line:
– The venue gets signed off on
– Some of those shortlisted vendors get contracts
– A call on whether it is Sept-Oct or Dec-Jan
– And then the official word with a date
Friends and rumours
There is some industry heavy-hitting in her circle of friends – Harleen Sethi and Genelia Deshmukh are among them. That kind of inner-ring knowledge gives some weight to the talk and why everyone is so sure of the timeline.
As for any talk of a tie-up with Karan Wahi, he has put an end to that. Let’s leave those headlines behind. The attention is where it should be: on a couple that seems to have a good thing going and are on their way to the altar.
Then there is the past. She was wed to Karan Singh Grover back in 2012, before they called it quits in 2014. Grover moved on to marry Bipasha Basu in 2016, after the two of them hit it off on the set of Alone in 2015.
Why it matters for fans
If you have been with her since Dill Mill Gayye, through Saraswatichandra and Beyhadh, you are ready to root for this. A no-nonsense, well-put-together ceremony is par for the course with her.
It is no wonder her posts are getting more love. People want to be part of a wedding that is unapologetically Jennifer. The fact that she is poring over the finer points of a vendor list says it all.
Timing is everything. Two open windows make for a nice dilemma. One has the pre-festive vibe, the other is ripe for some winter style. It is a good move either way.
So what is left? A reveal of where it will be, a date, maybe a first picture. For now, we have the tea and the pieces of the puzzle, and it looks like Winget and Ishmael are set for their I do.
