New Delhi | Jagran News Desk: Kshama Bindu, a Gujarat woman who made headlines for 'India's first sologamy' has finally married herself in a 40-minute long ceremony.

Speaking to TOI, Kshama said, “I am very happy to finally be a married woman. I felt that someone may try to create controversy on the day of the wedding shared g and I didn’t want to spoil my special day. So, I advanced it to Wednesday."
