Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh on Thursday tied the nuptial knot with long-time girlfriend Geeta Basra in a gurudwara in Jalandhar.

While the groom looked dapper in a off-white sherwani and red turban, the bride was looking resplendent in a traditional red and gold lehenga.

The wedding was attended by some close relatives and friends, including cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar and wife Anjali.

Earlier, a mehendi and sangeet ceremony was also held at Harbhajan’s family home.

The high-profile reception is slated for November 1 in New Delhi with Prime Minister Narendra Modi also expected to grace the occasion.

Apart from his Team India teammates like Yuvraj Singh and Virat Kohli, Bollywood celebrities like Amitabh Bachhan, Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra are also likely to attend the reception in the capital.

Harbhajan, 35, and Geeta, who has acted in several Hindi and Punjabi films, have had five years of courtship before they took the marital plunge.
