Indian football team captain Sunil Chhetri on Monday tied the knot with long-time girlfriend Sonam Bhattacharya, daughter of Mohun Bagan legend Subrata Bhattacharya, at a grand wedding ceremony in Kolkata on Monday.<\/p>\n
The poster boy of Indian football was seen in a traditional Nepali attire topped with a \u2018topi\u2019 (hat) as he made an entry riding a horse in the evening.<\/p>\n
Later, he was seen in traditional Bengali attire as the wedding followed the customs of both the bride and groom.<\/p>\n
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was among the firsts to bless the newly-weds as a host of celebrities from the world of politics, cinema, football and other sports were seen at the wedding.<\/p>\n
The guests included Chuni Goswami, Gourmangi Singh, Rennedy Singh and Robin Singh among others as the couple were seen posing for photographs after the wedding.<\/p>\n
The couple had exchanged rings last month, soon after which the 33-year-old resumed on-field action for Bengaluru FC in the Indian Super League.<\/p>\n
Chhetri, however, would not be able to take a break immediately after the wedding as he will be off to Guwahati for their away match against NorthEast United FC on December 8.<\/p>\n
Chhetri scored in Bengaluru\u2019s 2-0 win over Mumbai City in their ISL opener on November 19. Bengaluru recently faced a defeat at the hands of FC Goa 3-4.<\/p>\n
The couple\u2019s sangeet ceremony was held in Gurgaon last month. Chhetri\u2019s wife Sonam is a business management graduate from Scotland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
