Aishwarya Rai was a vision in bue and silver
Aishwarya Rai, often hailed as one of the most beautiful women in the world, lived up to her title in a breathtaking, sparkling blue and silver anarkali. The ensemble featured intricate all-over silver embroidery that shimmered under the lights. Her ethnic ensemble featured a floor-length flared cut that exuded royal elegance.
She complemented the look with her trademark bold red lip, hair styled in soft curls, and a statement silver bag. To match the heavy silver zardosi work on her anarkali, Aishwarya chose diamond jewellery that exuded grace.
Abhishek Bachchan looked dapper, opting for a sophisticated black sherwani that perfectly complemented Aishwarya’s regal attire. The duo’s coordinated elegance was a highlight for paparazzi and fans alike. The couple was seen smiling and posing for photos before entering the wedding venue.
Not just Aishwarya and Abhishek, the Bachchan family’s presence – actors Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan arrived together – added a layer of old-school Bollywood glamour to the cricketing world’s biggest wedding of the year.
A star-studded wedding
The wedding of Arjun Tendulkar and Saaniya Chandhok (granddaughter of hospitality tycoon Ravi Ghai) has been the talk of the town. Following weeks of lavish pre-wedding festivities in Jamnagar and Mumbai, the wedding ceremony saw a cross-section of India’s elite.
Sachin’s former teammates turned up in full force. MS Dhoni and wife Sakshi Dhoni twinned in stylish and understated cream looks. Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech made a statement in coordinated black outfits, while Harbhajan Singh wore a festive sherwani alongside wife Geeta Basra.
Zaheer Khan was also spotted with actor-wife Sagarika Ghatge. Irfan Pathan and his wife Safa Baig also graced the wedding. Chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries, Mukesh Ambani and wife Nita Ambani, who hosted a pre-wedding puja for Arjun and Saaniya at their Reliance estate in Jamnagar some weeks ago, led the business delegation.
