As per the latest tabloids buzz, Imran has finally decided to simply tie the knot in court in the second of week of January 2011.

The decision to have a court marriage stemmed from the fact that Imran is a Muslim and Avantika is a Hindu, and both want to keep the whole affair neutral.

“In the past, reports have suggested that Imran and Avantika would have a nikha in Mumbai. Though Imran’s family members are known to be religious, they have never imposed it on him,” as per a source close to the couple.

“In fact, it was Imran who was very confused about this for a long time. A lot of serious thought failed to yield anything that was to his satisfaction," added the source.

Imran's decision was inspired from friend's wedding
Apparently, Imran decided to go for a court wedding after taking inspiration from Danish Aslam’s wedding.

Danish, a Muslim, was in a same predicament as his girlfriend Shruti Seth belonged to Hindu community. So, they decided to opt for a court marriage rather than deciding to go for a tradition ceremony.

As per tabloids paper Mumbai Mirror, the 27-year-old actor, who wants to keep the whole affair private, has recently confirmed the reports.

"I am from a Muslim family and Avantika belongs to a Hindu family. I personally didn't commit our wedding to one religion or another. We felt the best way for us was to keep it neutral and have a court marriage," said Imran.

Low key affair
Though, the exact date, time and day of the wedding is not known, but as per sources, the whole affair will be a low key affair in presence of few close family and friends followed by a grand reception.

“Imran will have the wedding at his residence in Bandra with a few close friends and family members,” revealed a source.
