Stebin Ben, the popular Indian singer, and actress Nupur Sanon, sister of Bollywood star Kriti Sanon, had sparked friendship rumours for years before confirming their romance. The two were often spotted together at industry gatherings and social events, though they initially maintained they were just close friends. Their relationship became official in early January 2026 when Stebin proposed to Nupur during a romantic yacht outing, complete with performers holding "Will you marry me?" signs. Nupur announced the engagement on social media, calling her "yes" the easiest decision of her life, while her marquise-cut diamond ring quickly grabbed attention online. Soon after, the couple tied the knot in a dreamy destination wedding in Udaipur, celebrating both Christian and Hindu ceremonies that reflected their interfaith union. The festivities concluded with a starry Mumbai reception attended by family, friends and film industry colleagues. The couple looks back at the festivities with affection, even as they look forward to a life together... Stebin, your songs are known for romance. Has being in love with Nupur changed the way you express love in music?It's changed everything, honestly. Earlier, romance in my music came from imagination, observation, or moments from the past. Now it comes from everyday life. Being with Nupur has taught me that love doesn't always have to be loud or dramatic; sometimes it's quiet, secure and deeply grounding. That understanding has softened my expression as a singer. I don't feel the need to over-sing emotion anymore. There's more calm, more truth, and a lot more sincerity in the way I approach love songs now. Nupur, how has marriage added a new layer to the way you look at love? Marriage gives you perspective. You start seeing love beyond excitement or passion, it becomes about commitment, effort, and emotional safety. You realise that love is not just about feeling something, but about choosing that person every single day. That shift is very real for me. It has made me calmer, more patient, and more rooted in how I understand relationships. What was the biggest emotional shift you experienced after becoming husband and wife? Stebin Ben: There's a deep sense of grounding that comes in. You feel anchored, like you finally belong somewhere emotionally. Nupur Sanon: For me, it was a sense of completeness. Things feel more aligned mentally and emotionally. You stop thinking only about yourself and start thinking as a unit. That feeling is very reassuring. What were the highlights from the wedding for you both? NS: The pheras were surreal. There was this overwhelming sense of gratitude. What made the moment even more special was knowing that these very words, Tu mere kal da sukoon te ajj da shukr, were delicately embroidered on my veil, resting quietly around me through the rituals. At that moment, everything felt still. SB: Seeing the Punjabi and Malayalam verses embroidered on Nupur's veil felt deeply symbolic and so beautifully done by Manish Malhotra, a beautiful expression of love and respect in every detail. Somewhere in my heart, it felt like a quiet homage to my Malayali roots too. How was the experience of blending cultures at your wedding? SB: Our wedding was about love and respect in every detail, there was so much space for who we are individually. It felt beautiful to honour her faith while quietly carrying my roots within me. NS: That's what made it special, nothing felt forced. Every detail, every choice came from understanding and that's what love looks like to me. Which wedding function was the most fun? NS: The cocktail night was high on energy, music, and dancing. Very celebratory. SB: For me, the wedding itself. It was about family, rituals, and finally becoming husband and wife. Tell us about your dreamy wedding look? NS: For the pheras, I wanted everything to feel timeless and intimate. Manish Malhotra understood that instinctively. The lehenga felt like a quiet celebration of tradition and love, nothing loud, just deeply personal. SB: Even though I come from a Malayalam Christian background, the Hindu and Christian wedding felt incredibly grounding and respectful of both our worlds. Manish Malhotra designed our outfits with so much sensitivity it wasn't just about how we looked, but about what the moment stood for. It felt like love stitched into fabric. Who took longer to finalise wedding couture? NS: Definitely me. I'm very particular about details. SB: I trusted Nupur and Manish Malhotra completely. Tell us about the jewellery and accessories you opted for during the wedding festivities? NS: I kept my jewellery elegant and meaningful. I didn't want anything overpowering just pieces that felt like they belonged to the moment. For me, it was about comfort, grace, and emotion over excess. Everything I wore felt like an extension of how peaceful I felt inside. SB: I'm someone who believes in simplicity. My watch and accessories were chosen because they felt
