Jalandhar, August 21

Wedding bells are set to ring for India’s bowling sensation Harbhajan Singh and Bollywood actress Geeta Basra in October.

The off-spinner, during his recent visit to Jalandhar, had told his friends to be ready for his wedding with his long-time girlfriend on October 29 at a hotel on Jalandhar-Phagwara road.

Bookings for the gala event have already been made at the hotel and the staff has been asked to keep the schedule confidential.

While the cricketer himself is away to Sri Lanka for the ongoing Test series, his family members could not be contacted at his residence in Chhoti Baradari here.

Members of the Jalandhar District Cricket Association confirmed the wedding plan. A Congress leader, close to the cricketer, said, “During his visit to Jalandhar last month, Bhajji gave me a verbal invitation and asked me to be ready for the event on October 29.”

Geeta Basra and Harbhajan Singh have been going meeting each other for quite some time, but have not been vocal about their relationship.

Geeta had reportedly met Bhajji on the sets of a film shot near Jalandhar last December. The Bollywood starlet had also attended the wedding of Bhajji’s sister Sandeep Kaur in Jalandhar in February 2010.
