Bollywood actor Soha Ali Khan tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend and actor Kunal Khemu in an intimate ceremony on Jan 25, attended by close family, Indian media reported.

The couple had been living in together for a long time in an apartment reportedly gifted by Khan's mother Sharmila Tagore. They got engaged last year in July 2014 in Paris.

The two have worked together in films like Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge and 99.

At the wedding, Soha donned an off-white lehenga-choli set paired with an orange dupatta while Khemu wore a white-gold sherwani and a silk safa. Soha' sister-in-law and superstar Kareena looked stunning in a powder pink Manish Malhotra sari.
