Nusrat and Nikhil have arranged for a sumptuous spread for the guests, who would be treated to mouth-watering Turkish delicacies and Indian cuisine.

Bengali actress and Jadavpur MP Mimi Chakraborty, who is one of Nusrat's friends from the industry, has flown to Bodrum.

Even Nikhil had poured his heart out on his social media account while announcing his relationship with the Bengali beauty.

"You know the meaning of love, when you crave to grow old with that one person; go all chips in for that one person; rediscover ur own self being with that person, and be the partner you d never thought u'd be. Thank you @nusratchirps for making my life the most beautiful one, u made me worthy! It was definitely worth the wait- Destiny! Raabta," he posted.
