Prajakta Koli Shares Her Wedding Journey: From BBM Pins to Building a Home with Vrishank Khanal

Prajakta Koli, the beloved YouTuber-turned-actor known as MostlySane, recently spoke candidly about what marriage means to her, reflecting on her wedding to longtime partner Vrishank Khanal and the emotional layers of their relationship. Their love story, which started in their youth and culminated in a dreamy intimate ceremony, lays bare how modern couples are redefining marriage beyond rituals and aesthetics.

From Teenage Banter to a Lifetime Promise

Prajakta reveals that she and Vrishank first connected over BBM pins back when she was 18 and he was 22, sparking hours of late-night conversations long before either was a public figure. Their relationship matured over 11 years, leading up to their engagement in 2023 and their wedding on February 25, 2025, in Karjat. The journey wasn’t just about milestones—it was about growing together, navigating differences, and choosing companionship over perfection.

Unlike traditional weddings heavy in pomp, Prajakta and Vrishank prioritized authenticity. Their ceremony featured a female priest, minimal décor, and a relaxed guest dress code—including inviting loved ones to show up in pyjamas. From birthing the idea of their bridal outfit years in advance to collaborating deeply on the wedding planning (Vrishank participating in food tastings, décor recce’s), the event was both deeply personal and intentionally unpretentious.

What Marriage Means: Building a Home, Not Just a Ceremony

When asked about what marriage really signifies, Prajakta didn’t mention vows, fanfare, or social media moments—but building a beautiful home with someone you trust, laugh with, and grow with. She emphasizes the emotional and collaborative parts: choosing joy, kindness, flexibility, and being willing to share space, responsibilities, and life’s unpredictabilities. She admits it’s “barely begun,” that coming back to work after the wedding meant resuming life—and that’s okay. She’s enjoying it so far.

Why It’s Controversial (and Why It Matters)

In an industry that often celebrates weddings as spectacle, Prajakta’s approach challenges entrenched norms. By rejecting many conventions—excess packaging, rigid rituals, over-styled photoshoots—she’s pushing back against Bollywood weddings that feel more like performances than intimate beginnings.

Some critics argue her choices are still curated for the camera, that every personal detail becomes content fodder. Others see this as positive: a signal that weddings need not be lavish to be meaningful. There's also the chatter around her calling the event “our version of perfect”—does that subtly critique others who strive for the conventional "white lehenga + grand stage"? Possibly.

Furthermore, the inclusion of a female priest drew both praise and skepticism. Many applaud it as a feminist statement, a break from patriarchal norms. Yet, others question whether such acts are symbolic rather than substantive changes.

The Bigger Picture: Redefining Love, Marriage & Social Expectations

Prajakta’s reflections tap into a larger shift: younger couples increasingly value emotional connection, personal meaning, and authenticity over traditional markers of success. Weddings are no longer just about impressing others—they’re about starting a shared life.

For Prajakta, marriage seems less like a destination and more like a process: a continuous effort to build love, home, laughter, and partnership. Her narrative resonates with many who feel that social expectations—glamorous photos, viral videos, grand reveals—often overshadow what really sustains a relationship.
