JODHPUR (INDIA): Priya Bachchani of Karachi will marry Naresh Tewani of Jodhpur today after nearly a month of uncertainty, due to visa delays by the Indian government.

But delays by the Indian embassy in Pakistan in granting visas for the bride and family had cast a shadow over the function.
As a last resort, the groom tweeted a request to Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who responded positively and the family was issued visas for the event.

"We are thankful for the quick response of the minister. All the 35 members got their visas to come to Jodhpur, though, in two parts," said Naresh.
