Tharoor, Pushkar to get engaged on June 26

BANGALORE: With the dust kicked up by Shashi Tharoor's foray into matters cricket having settled — but not before ensuring his exit from the Union ministry — the former UN diplomat is now set for an engagement with the lady who was the cause of it all: Sunanda Pushkar.

But, ahead of his engagement with Sunanda on June 26 and 27, the former minister of state for external affairs is currently chilling out abroad. Tuesday was a day for a ferry ride from Victoria to Vancouver, with a discussion on his favourite topic — international relations. Although he is holidaying, preparations for his engagement are on in Bangalore.

As a matter of fact, Bangalore will see a mega, high-profile gathering during the Tharoor-Pushkar ring ceremony. The engagement will be held at actor Sanjay Khan's The Golden Palms Hotel and Spa on Tumkur Road, which has played host to a number of celebrity events.

The venue hosted the dream wedding of actor Hrithik Roshan with Khan's daughter, while Maharashtra Congress MLAs were housed at the Spa when former CM Vilasrao Deshmukh's government was threatened. Even CM B S Yeddyurappa held a meeting with his legislators here sometime back.

Sources at The Golden Palms confirmed to TOI the Tharoor-Pushkar engagement. Tharoor is a good friend of Sanjay.
