The Indian wedding season is here and even Bollywood has gotten active for that this year. In the last three days, all I have done is marvel at the pictures and videos from the celebrations of the wedding of Aditya Seal and Anushka Ranjan. The couple has been dating for a long time and yesterday (November 21) they finally tied the knot in the city in a lavish ceremony.
Before walking down the aisle together, the wedding festivities kind of began for the couple a few days ago on screen as they released their first music video together titled Meri Zindagi Mein. Their sizzling chemistry in the video just blowed everyone away and made their fans all the more excited for their big day.
The wedding festivities began from Friday with a Haldi and mehendi ceremony attended by the close friends and family of the bride and groom. Pictures from the celebrations flooded the internet and what made it cuter was the fact that Aditya flaunted the henna tattoo of Anushka’s name on his palm.
What followed was a star-studded sangeet ceremony that saw the who’s who of Bollywood joining the night of music and dance. At the event, Alia Bhatt who is a close friend of the bride and groom danced with Anushka’s sister Akansha Ranjan Kapoor and their friends, setting the stage on fire, while the bride and her bridesmaids, including actress Krystle D’Souza, grooved to Jalebi Baby.
Even Aditya stole hearts with his cute performance on Tu Mere Agal Bagal and Tainu Leke and his couple performance with Anushka just left everybody emotional. The two also exchanged rings at the event. Among other stars who made an appearance were Bhumi Pednekar with sister Samiksha, Vaani Kapoor, Manish Malhotra, Athiya Shetty and Varun Sharma.
The festivities culminated with the lavish wedding ceremony that took place yesterday. Aditya looked regal in his sherwani that he paired with a dhoti and danced his heart out as he arrived with his baarat to sweep his bride away. Anushka made a unique choice in the colour of her lehenga, looking dreamy in her purple ensemble. The rain couldn’t play spoilsport in the amazing celebrations as the couple exchanged garlands and took vows to be with each other forever.
This morning I got to see the bidai video of the couple and the happiness on Akansha and Aditya’s face just made me emotional. They were serenaded by the angelic voice of Alka Yagnik as they took their first steps in their married life and I just couldn’t help myself and shed some happy tears.
