‘We met on The Apprentice and now we're married - it feels like a movie'

It’s been a whirlwind two years for Akshay Thakrar and Harpreet Kaur, who met on the 2022 series of The Apprentice and began dating shortly after. Fast-forward to today and the couple are officially husband and wife after tying the knot in a three-day wedding extravaganza.

And those mix of cultures meant a whole lot of celebrating; with a civil ceremony, a religious ceremony and a reception bash all on separate days. Joined by family across the globe, and some familiar faces from The Apprentice, the couple certainly got hitched in style. After losing her dad in 2023, the Apprentice winner was escorted down the aisle by her mother in an emotional moment.

“After the civil ceremony we basically had what is similar to an English pre-wedding party,” explains Harpreet. “But we performed some rituals that are done to brides and grooms to get them ready for their wedding. Because even though we’ve had our civil bit, our true marriage is the Indian wedding.”

“I had family who had flown in from Malawi in Africa and India,” says Akshay. “So, I wouldn’t call it an ice-breaker, but it was nice to get everyone mingling before the week continued.” Recalling the moment he saw his bride, Akshay says, “We were in these beautiful gardens at the temple and The business founder was then greeted by Harpreet’s family and had an Apprentice -style negotiation before taking his place for the Hindu ceremony.

“That was when I felt 100% married,” Akshay adds. “Because we’ve done the legal bit. Now we have the spiritual-religious part. A civil is beautiful, but this is so spiritual. And that’s when you feel it.” Lord Sugar may not have been able to attend, but The Apprentice star Tim Campbell joined the celebration, alongside the couple’s former co-stars Kathryn Louise Burn, Brittany Carter, Akeem Bundu-Kamara and Nick Showering.
