Parineeti Chopra, the Bollywood actor, and Raghav Chadha, the prominent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, are all set to tie the knot in a lavish ceremony in the enchanting city of Udaipur this weekend. Their arrival at the city's airport was nothing short of a spectacle, with the airport adorned in a grand welcome for the bride's family (ladkiwale), the groom's entourage (baraatis), and all the distinguished guests.
The stunning Leela Palace will serve as the backdrop for their wedding, a location that exudes opulence and charm. To add a touch of magic to the proceedings, the baraat, or groom's procession, will embark on a unique journey from the iconic Lake Palace to the wedding venue by boat. This picturesque boat ride promises to be a memorable experience for all involved.
The bridal party was spotted making their way to the hotel in a boat across the serene Lake Pichola, setting the tone for what is sure to be a fairy tale wedding.
The pre-wedding festivities have been nothing short of glamorous. The mehendi ceremony, held yesterday, was a riot of color and tradition. Today's schedule includes the haldi, a ceremony symbolizing the bride and groom's purification and protection, followed by the sangeet, where dancing and celebrations will reach their zenith.
While the wedding extravaganza is in full swing, there have been whispers about the attendance of Parineeti's cousin, the global icon Priyanka Chopra. However, it appears that Priyanka, who is currently in Los Angeles, may not be able to make it to the wedding, as her Instagram activity suggests she is still overseas.
Notably, the wedding guest list boasts a mix of Bollywood glamour and political prominence. Raghav Chadha's AAP colleagues and other political leaders, including Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, are expected to grace the occasion with their presence.
Adding to the glitz and glamour are renowned names from the film industry, with Karan Johar among the notable attendees. Manish Malhotra, the celebrated fashion designer, has had the honor of crafting Parineeti's exquisite bridal outfits, adding an extra layer of anticipation to the fashion-conscious crowd.
The celebration of love and unity began earlier this week in New Delhi with an ardas at Raghav's residence, followed by a mesmerizing Sufi night that saw the likes of cricketer Harbhajan Singh joining in the festivities.
Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha's engagement in New Delhi back in May set the stage for this grand wedding, drawing celebrities and dignitaries from various walks of life. Priyanka Chopra, ever the supportive cousin, flew all the way from Los Angeles to attend the engagement ceremony, showcasing the close-knit bond that the Chopra family shares.
As Udaipur gears up to witness the union of Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha, the city resonates with excitement and the promise of a truly unforgettable wedding weekend.
