Akshai Varde ditched the traditional white gelding horse that Indian grooms are accustomed to ride to their wedding and arrived on a custom-made motorbike instead, for his wedding to Bollywood actress Sameera Reddy.
The two dated for a couple of years and after their engagement in December 2013, Akshai and Sameera got married at the bride’s residence in Mumbai, yesterday.
We believe it was a traditional Maharashtrian wedding with only close family and friends of the couple, in attendance.
Speaking to Team MissMalini about the wedding outfit, designer Nishka Lulla said, “My mother, Neeta Lulla, had designed the wedding saree for Sameera. When the bride approached her to design the wedding saree, she was very clear that it must look traditional. Even though the wedding was conducted with Maharashtrian rites and rituals, Neeta Lulla designed a Kanjeevaram saree with a bit of a contemporary twist.
The colours used were cream, maroon and saffron yellow, fitting for the ceremonial occasion.”
While Sameera was last seen on the silver screen in Chakravyuh in 2012, Akshai has a business of remodeling and custom-making motorbikes.
Here’s wishing the couple a very happy married life from Team MissMalini 🙂
