Putting an end to all the speculation, Imraan Khan and his seven year long girlfriend Avantika finally tied the knots at a civil registered wedding at home yesterday at 6 pm. The wedding was a quiet unceremonious affair with the presence of only family members from both sides with the likes of Aamir Khan and Kiran, his first wife Rina with both the kids Junaid and Ira, Mansoor Khan his wife Tina, Aamir’s mother and Nuzhat’s sisters Nikhat and Farhat. The couple did not want any religious rituals as they belong to different communities.
It would not be an overstatement to say that Imraan Khan looked handsome as ever and Avantika totally complemented his perfect looks. They both were attired in a Manish Malhotra outfit. The couple later entered their Pali Hill Bungalow in a black Porche. It is the same banglow where Imran Khan’s mother Nuzhat and mamujaan Aamir Khan also got married.
The couple is on a three-day holiday to Phuket and our team of Bollywood stars extends heartiest wishes for a happy married life to them…..
Hrithik Roshan recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of his marriage with Sussanne Khan and expressed his thanks to his friends and fans for their love by posting on Twitter, ‘Been reading all tweets…thank you so much for all your wonderful wishes! Sending our love to all out there.’
Many Bollywood stars wished the couple by posting their greetings on the social networking site. Actress Mallika Sherawat posted, ‘Happy anniversary to Hrithik and Sussanne…A loveliest of couples! Many more happy years to you both.’
Hrithik and Sussanne have two children – Hrehaan, four, and Hridhaan, two. Hrithik had been dating Sussanne for a few years before they got married. She is the daughter of Bollywood actor Sanjay Khan and the sister of Zayed Khan.
Media is abuzz these days with the news that Sara Ali and Ali Merchant are already married and they chose to go for a marriage ceremony on ‘Big Boss’ as the channel had offered them a huge sum in order to boost the popularity of the show. However, nothing could stop the couple from tying the knots and the show climbing higher on the TRP ratings.
The two have finally said ‘Kubool Hai’ to each other in the presence of Ali’s parents and Big Boss inmates. Jay Bhanushali and Krystal De Souza were among the select few invited to the House for the wedding. The wedding couple donned on the attire designed by ace designer Vikram Phadnis. Veena Malik, Shweta Tiwari and Anchal Kumar dolled up in a saree while Seema Parihar goes for a salwar kameez. Check out the pics from the ceremony….
Everything had been going topsy turvy in Sara Khan and Ali Merchant’s relationship for past three years and with Sara getting apparently close to Ashmit Patel in Big Boos house, the future of their relationship seemed dicey. Things took a turn when Ali entered the Big Boss house as a guest for a week long stay. It was in the house that he proposed to Sara and she accepted. Now, the house seems to be charged with enthusiasm and energy as the contestants prepare for the grand wedding on November in the presence of their parents and all ‘Bigg Boss 4′ contestants. The wedding will also witness the presence of popular TV actors and will have all the traditional ceremonies like mehendi, sangeet and the nikah. The couple’s clothes will be designed by ace designer Vikram Phadnis. Sara’s bridal outfit will have artistic motifs with embellishments and kundan embroidery on the lehenga, while for Ali, Phadnis has planned a sherwani embellished with antique gold thread.
“It is indeed a pleasure to design outfits for their big day and a different experience too as I am putting together special outfits for them in just two to three days,” Phadnis said.
“I have also sourced the best of the jewellery in kundan, jadau and polki from Jaipur. It is exotic and expensive and would go well with Sara’s outfit. My aim is to make her look beautiful for her D-day,” he added.
What could be a better visual treat to see delicate and petite Dia Mirza in an unconventional white bridal lehenga and Himachal beauty Kangana Ranaut all dolled up in a bridal attire. That was exactly what viewers witnessed at Aamby Valley India Bridal Week where the two Bollywood beauties turned showstoppers for designer’s wedding collections.
Dia looked breathtakingly beautiful as she donned on a Rocky S creation on the opening day of the Aamby Valley India Bridal Week.
“What is interesting is to see an Indian bride in a white lehenga. So surreal and beautiful. The garment is stunning and I think that in itself is a reflection of the line. What Rocky is trying to do with this collection is asking why stick with the mould? Break it and try something new,” said Dia.
“And I think it works very well because wearing it I felt beautiful. The garment is stunning and quite honestly, if I were to be getting married, white could be quite a colour for me,” the actress said.
Kangana too mesmerized the audience with her attitude and style in a beautiful Anjalee and Arjun Kapoor creation. Check them out with the stills from the event….
The much awaited and talked about Vivek Oberoi and Priyanka Alva wedding took place yesterday and was attended by over 2,000 guests, drawn from the art and theatre circles as well as those from the film industry and other associated fields. However, the fact noticeable was that local politicians seemed to be the dominant guests in number than the actors fraternity.
The noticeable politicians included Karnataka Legislative opposition leader Siddaramaiah, BJP President Venkaiah Naidu, RV Deshpande, DB Chandregouda, Katta Subramanya Naidu, Narendra Babu, Roshan Beig and Mayor S Nataraj. Among the stars from tinsel town were a few names like Ambareesh, Sudeep and Ramya, Sushmita Sen and Sangeeta Bijlani. As expected ex-girlfirend Aishwarya and her family did not attend the wedding.
The function started amidst a tight security of around 60 police officers and 100 security personnel. However, media reporters were a bit disappointed as they were not allowed to enter the marriage hall.
Vivek Oberoi, Bollywood’s one of the most eligible bachelors, is all set to marry the Bangalore-based girl Priyanka Alva, daughter of Nandini Alva, and an exponent of art. The wedding ceremony is set to be held today at the Alva’s Residency, a farm house near Lumbini Garden in Bangalore.
Since Priyanka is from Bunts Bramhin family and Vivek Oberoi is a Punjabi, rituals will be performed from both the sides. Priyanka also observed Karva Chawtha on Tuesday. Priyanka will wear orange-coloured South Indian silk saree while Vivek will put on Maroon-coloured Kurta for the wedding.
Bollywood actress Kim Sharma has been missing from the scene for quite sometime now and not without reasons. With her acting career not going great guns, the actress seems to be concentrating on settling her personal front.
First, there was a buzz that Kim was all set wed her Spanish boyfriend Carlos Marin and would move to Madrid after marriage. But then the engagement was called off and now the latest one is that she has tied the knot with a Kenya based rich business tycoon called Ali Punjani in a secret ceremony which took place two weeks ago in Mombasa, Kenya.
The marriage was the culmination of a supposedly love affair which lasted for a short period and then headed for a marriage attended by close relatives and friends of Kim and Ali. The only one conspicuous with her absence was Kim’s best Preeti Jhangiani.
Well, everyone falls into love and heads on for a marriage. But why this hush-hush secret wedding ceremony ? That is still to be known……
