While Neil Nitin Mukesh is not very much active in Bollywood, but he keeps his fans updated through social media. News of his marriage was doing the rounds for quiet a long time now and it came as a pleasant surprise when we heard the news that the actor got engaged to Rukmini Sahay in a private ceremony on the occasion of Dusshera.

The ceremony was a private affair and was attended by close family and friends. This is an arranged marriage and the couple is set to tie the knot next year.

According to a leading daily, Neil's father Nitin Mukesh said, "Neil is quite old school in his ways and is a firm believer in the traditional school of thought when it comes to the sacred institution of marriage. He left the decision of finding his soulmate in his parent's trusted hands and there couldn't have been a better match for him than Rukmini."

He added, "She reflects the values and traditions that Neil has been raised with and compliments him in every way possible. The celebrations to the final countdown have already begun."

Heartiest Congratulations to the couple.
