Hotel management has confirmed that approximately 80 rooms have been booked at The Savoy Hotel and additional accommodation has been booked at nearby luxury properties that house a large contingent of VIPs, family and security personnel.
Coupling marks the culmination of a lifelong relationship. Kuldeep and Vanshika are childhood friends from Kanpur, where their families lived only three kilometers apart. Kuldeep hails from Lal Bungalow area while Vanshika resides in Shyam Nagar. Vanshika, who works as an administrative professional in the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and completed his higher studies in Melbourne, has been a constant presence in the spinner’s life since his U-19 days.
The couple officially got engaged on 4 June 2025 in a traditional ceremony in Lucknow. While initially planned for November 2025, the wedding was postponed due to Kuldeep’s commitments for India’s successful T20 World Cup 2026 campaign.
The wedding follows one of the most successful phases of Kuldeep’s professional career. The 31-year-old left-arm spinner was a key member of the Indian team that recently defended their World T20 title by defeating New Zealand in the final in Ahmedabad. Even though India’s tactical rotation limited him to specific matches, Kuldeep’s impact was undeniable, especially in the group stage clash against Pakistan where he returned stifling figures of 1/14 in three matches.
With over 365 international wickets across formats, Kuldeep currently ranks among the world’s elite spinners.
After a private mountain wedding, the couple will host a grand reception on March 17 at Hotel Centrum in Lucknow, where Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is expected to attend.
