Just married, but let’s take a selfie first! Getting hitched in low-key wedding ceremonies seems to be the ‘it’ thing this season with a number of stars ditching the lime light for a ‘simple wedding’. Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor is one such celeb, who chose to keep mum on details of his marriage to Mira Rajput.
Shahid took Twitter to post an adorable picture with his beautiful wife and simply commented ‘hitched’. The actor tied the knot in a low-key ceremony at a farm house on the outskirts of the national capital, attended by close relatives and friends.
The two exchanged wedding vows according to the traditions of the Radha Soami sect as their parents are followers of the group, which follows teachings of all religions.
The “Haider” star opted for a white kurta-pyjama and a safa (turban) while Mira wore a green and pink salwar-kurta with a heavy embellished dupatta wrapped around her head. She teamed it up with a statement maang tikka on her forehead and minimal make-up.
This was an arranged marriage for Shahid and Mira and the ceremony was attended by 40 guests. Mumbai-based Shahid arrived in Delhi yesterday while his parents were in the city before to oversee the wedding preparations.
The wedding celebrations started last evening with a sangeet ceremony, where Shahid was seen matching steps with Mira on his hit wedding song “Saj Dhaj ke” from “Mausam”, directed by his father.
A dinner is being hosted at a five-star hotel tonight in which about 250 guests have been invited. This will be followed by a reception in Mumbai on July 12, for which there will be a separate invite – also designed by Delhi-based card maker Ravish Kapoor, who worked on the wedding invite.
