Asked about the wedding gift Harshvardhan would want to give his elder sister, he said 'a hug.' "Really, I want to give her a lot of love and good luck. No gifts... because I am broke. Look at the kind of film I am working on, they really do not pay that well, so I really do not have anything to gift her," he quipped, IANS reports.

Of Bhavesh Joshi Superhero's promotion duties amidst the wedding preparations, Harshvardhan told IANS, "Well, the whole occasion will get over by May 8. And I have enough time after that for the promotion of my film. So yes, I think I will handle everything pretty well."

"The Kapoor and Ahuja families, take great joy and pride, in announcing the marriage of Sonam and Anand. The wedding will take place on the 8th of May in Mumbai.
