Marriage and pregnancy
Karishma Tanna and businessman Varun Bangera married in 2022 in an intimate beachside wedding in Mumbai, attended by their close friends and family. In April this year, the couple announced that they were expecting their first child. In May, Karishma posted pictures and videos of her South Indian Tulu-style baby shower.
“Still soaking in the love, blessings, and emotions from our very first South Indian style Godh Bharai together. Witnessing the beautiful Tulu rituals, sacred traditions, mantras, flowers, sarees, and every little custom so closely felt truly magical… almost like living a dream we had only imagined. From the poojas and family blessings to the warmth and love in every ritual, the entire day felt so pure, emotional, and deeply special for both of us and our little baby,” she wrote.
“The warmth of my maa’s blessings…the love in every ritual…my mom-in-law draping me in a saree with so much affection…every flower, every diya, every little detail done with so much heart,” wrote Karishma in another post.
