Actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar opened up about marriage plans with Shibani Dandekar on a web show.
Farhan spoke about it to actress Bhumi Pednekar in an episode of 'Tape Cast Season 2', presented by Grey Goose.
Bhumi picked a 'Do not play' casette, which had a pre-recorded question from Farhan.
The question was: "Hey Farhan... Are we getting married in April or May? Can you please let me know because I am very confused".
When Bhumi asked Farhan to give a little introduction about the voice, Farhan said: "That was Shibani, who I think has been having a lot of fun with a lot of news that's going around currently about us looking for wedding planners, looking for venues."
"Are you though?" prodded Bhumi.
In a smart response, Farhan said: "I don't know it maybe April or April be 'May'
Bhumi then appreciated Shibani's beauty, and that led Farhan to open up a bit more on her.
"She is an amazing woman. It's been very special, the last year... You know we've been getting to know each other and I couldn't be happier about it. But with the social media world again, we are constantly being told about the things we should be doing.

Warner Bros CEO Under Scanner Over Sexual Misconduct Allegations
Warner Bros CEO Kevin Tsujihara is under investigation over allegations of an affair with an actress and that he subsequently tried to help her land roles in Warner Bros' productions.
The studio's parent company was forced to act after The Hollywood Reporter published a report detailing the history between Tsujihara and British actress Charlotte Kirk.
The studio previously investigated the allegations in the fall of 2017 and found no wrongdoing or abuse of power by Tsujihara, who is married, reported Variety.com.
Tsujihara and Kirk met in 2013 through mutual acquaintances, Australian media mogul James Packer and director-producer Brett Ratner. At the time Packer and Ratner were negotiating a $450 million film financing pact with Warner Bros through their RatPac investment venture.
Kirk issued a statement to The Hollywood Reporter denying that there was any "inappropriate behaviour" on the part of Tsujihara, Ratner or Packer, and she asserted "Kevin never promised me anything".
However, text messages included in the report indicate Kirk later accused Ratner and Packer of using her with Tsujihara to help close the RatPac deal.
