The couple exchanged vows on August 21, 2025, in an intimate ceremony surrounded by close family and friends.
Giaa and Varunn shared the joyous news on their respective Instagram accounts, posting heartwarming pictures from their wedding. Giaa looked resplendent in a golden South Indian-style saree, adorned with traditional jewelry, while Varunn complemented her perfectly in a bright yellow kurta. Their radiant smiles and affectionate gestures clearly reflected their happiness as they embarked on this new chapter together.
In their joint Instagram post, the couple expressed their gratitude and joy, writing, “With the grace of Divine and Master's and with all the love showered, we've stepped into this forever union — hand in hand, heart to heart. We were two friends, today we're husband & wife. So grateful for the love, blessings and wishes from all our loved ones who made this day so special. Cheers to a lifetime of laughter, adventure, memories, and togetherness as Mr. & Mrs. Gia & Varunn”. They also revealed that they had a Bhuta Shuddhi wedding ceremony.
