When
Sreejita De
exchanged vows with beau
Michael Blohm-Pape
in a white wedding last July, she had also intended to follow it up with a traditional Bengali shaadi in Goa in November. However, the couple’s work commitments forced them to indefinitely postpone the Indian wedding. Nevertheless, this doesn’t mean the actress has abandoned the idea of being adorned as a typical Indian bride.
Sreejita, whose mother recently hosted a reception for her and husband Michael in Kolkata, says, “According to the initial plan, the reception was meant to follow the Indian wedding. However, due to the delay, my mother organised a reception party for us on March 24, attended by our relatives. Both Michael and my relatives were excited about meeting each other (smiles). Although it’s been quite a while, we still hold onto the desire to have a Bengali wedding in Goa with close friends and relatives present. In fact, we haven’t had a proper honeymoon. We are planning a Bengali wedding sometime this year, after which we will finally go on our long-awaited honeymoon.”

, leaving her with little time for her partner. In fact, she only had one day off for her reception. She says, “I barely get time to talk to Michael. We mostly communicate over phone calls. By the time I return from the shoot, he is already asleep, and I am asleep when he leaves for work. I don’t remember the last time we had a meaningful face-to-face conversation. I miss spending time with him, chatting about our day, watching a good show, cooking together, going out on date nights on Saturdays, and saying bye to him when he leaves for work. However, I appreciate Michael for being so supportive. I didn’t expect him to adjust so well to my erratic and demanding schedule. Sometimes, due to sleep deprivation, I lose my temper, but he continues to support me mentally and gives me strength. it. He has taken on more household responsibilities and become more responsible. Despite the challenges, it’s still fun; it’s a new phase of life that we are experiencing together after marriage.”
