Gul PanagIt's wedding season in tinsel town. After Lara Dutta wed tennis star Mahesh Bhupathi in a glitzy ceremony in Goa, former Miss India and actress Gul Panag tied the knot with long-time beau Rishi Attari on Sunday in Panchkula, Haryana.

The ceremony was performed at a gurudwara and was followed by a reception at a hotel in Panchkula.

The couple made a quirky entrance at the reception party. The bridegroom, who is an adventure junkie like Gul, arrived on a Royal Enfield motorcycle with her sitting in the sidecar. They were followed by riders on 20 Enfields. The wedding was an intimate affair with only close friends and family in attendance.

Rishi, who has known Gul for 10 years, works as a pilot in a private airline. He belongs to an Amritsar-based family and is now settled in New Delhi.

Gul, daughter of a retired lieutenant general, won the Miss India title in 1999 and was also crowned Miss Beautiful Smile at the same pageant.
