New Delhi: After going through a nearly three-month ordeal, the Mahajan family finally had something to cheer about as the late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan's son Rahul got engaged to his long-time friend Sheweta at a low-key ceremony here on Monday . Rahul and Sheweta, both 31, exchanged rings at a ceremony at the 7, Safdarjung Road residence of the late BJP leader. They were greeted family members and some close friends. Rahul was dressed in a cream sherwani while Sheweta wore a rose and pink colour saree . Appreciating the fact that Sheweta had stood by him during some difficult times, Rahul said he was happy to be with her. "She [Sheweta] has been my friend for 12 years. She is a pilot and my father was her Godfather. He wanted us to be together," Rahul said. Rahul and Sheweta both did their pilot training together abroad. Maharashtra BJP leader Gopinath Munde told reporters that Rahul will tie the nuptial knot with Sheweta in Mumbai but the date of the marriage was yet to be decided. He said the engagement ceremony was a simple, low-key affair in view of the recent death of Rahul's father Pramod Mahajan. Earlier, family sources said the engagement had to be planned so early as there were no auspicious days for the next six months. According to Maharashtrian customs, marriages have to take place within a year of a death in the family or after two years. — PTI
