Hyderabad: Amid the conflict rapidly unfolding in Ukraine, a Hyderabadi boy and a Ukrainian woman tied the knot in the war-hit country and held a reception in the city on February 27 with close friends and family.

Prateek and Lyubov’s wedding was no less than the plot of a Bollywood flick. The couple fell in love at first sight and got married on February 23 in Ukraine, one day before the Russian military invaded the country. However, the war couldn’t stop the duo from hosting a reception in the city.

Officiating the wedding was Chilkur Balaji temple chief archaka CS Rangarajan. According to him, the reception was a very private affair due to the situation prevailing in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Rangarajan, along with other priests and devotees has offered prayers at the 16th century lord Venkateshwara temple seeking an end to the conflict in Ukraine that has ensued after Russia launched a full-blown attack on the democratic country that aims to join NATO and the European Union.

India has set up 24×7 control rooms with numbers of Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) teams aiding in the evacuation process of its citizens from Ukraine. Besides Moldova, Romania, Slovakia, Poland, and Hungary are being used as land routes to repatriate Indians from Ukraine.
