  1. That jewelry is eye-popping.. and doesn’t Deepika just look out of this world. Congratulations to both! They look so happy and stunning together.

  2. Even though I LOVE Deepika, this looks like a Sabya ad. And even though I DISLIKE Anushka, I have to give her props for wearing pink. But honestly both ladies, however gorgeous looking, look identical right down to the big nose ring. There is zero originality, which disappoints me.

    • Well, we give our intentions away when we start with “even though I love so and so…” And then go take a name of competitor and then go nasty with comment on someone’s wedding pictures. Hope you will have a good day now the hate is out of your system.

      Deepika clearly is a step child of industry’s media pros so it is expected to have something controversial attached to her even if it’s her wedding but that was fastest few comments.

      • Good observation about the styling., very Sabya catalogue. This wedding was promoted as if it was their second movie release this year. Very nauseating as if our country hasn’t had celebrity weddings before. But congratulations anyway! Hope there will be respite from their PR now. Or wishful thinking. :-|

    • True.. I too felt this pics were from a movie scene/set.. quite heavily jewelled. Never mind, weddings aren’t anyways a place to make style statements or cause fashion revolutions. More like as traditional as it could be, is the best.

        • I don’t know which part of south you are, but kannadiga brides do cover themselves usually with a silk sari or something like the one Deepika is wearing. I wore one like that to my own wedding. What they are wearing for the Konkani ceremony is as traditional as it gets.
          I can’t believe the nitpicker above… unbelievable!!!

            • Konkanis from the Karnataka side have a mixed tradition of the Kannada weddings and a bit of Marathi rituals. The covering of head is from Marathi ritual towards the conclusion of havan I believe. I love that Deepika and Ranveer kept things traditional rather than mix their personal wedding vedic rituals with ther iconic status and Bollywood design/glamour. God bless these and Deepika looks earthy and beautiful here. Love love love… I’m sure that their receptions will bring in the wows for those that want that from them.

          • Having seen the recently released full length pics, it is quite obvious that what she is wearing for the Konkani ceremony is definitely not as traditional as it gets. Traditional Konkani bride dressing is very different.

        • im not aware of hindu wedding rituals, but having the head covered during a puja, or taking vows is common in all faiths. maybe it was covered in the very moment for some respectful purpose. we needn’t fuss about it, lets keep it to the clothes and accessories.. not going too far in critiquing it by thinking through the reasons. its not making a difference anyway.

          • This is not true. Many south Indian hindus do not use head cover during puja or wedding. I was told it is the opposite of North – only widows cover I think. No issues with DP having a head cover just pointing out as as a discussion of customs.

          • No, in fact in my part of south India it’s considered unlucky for a woman to cover her head/face (not to claim it’s particularly progressive; that’s still patriarchal because it’s associated with widows who are required to cover their heads). So a bride doing it is especially forbidden.

            Cultures are complex!

          • In the Telangana/Andhra states, the so called veil or musuku is the exclusive custom of the Reddy/telugu kshetriya brides. Not all Telugu brides wear it as it’s considered bad omen in most of south Indian cultures/customs.

    • Not everybody wants to wear a non-red wedding dress just to make a point that they are different! Red is beautiful and traditional. Have also wondered that why some of us Indians are so eager to run away from tradition. I live in the US and have never seen anyone ever question a bride for wearing white. It is tradition and everybody loves it !

      • In the 90s there was a big trend towards off-white, cream, beige etc wedding gowns. Then the pendulum swung back to super-traditional white. There are definitely trends in wedding clothes & customs, but those trends move a bit slower, and swing a lot less wildly, compared to non-wedding clothes and customs.

    • Both women are different and are entitled to wear whatever they want on their wedding day. As beautiful as Anushka (and I like her) looked on her wedding day, I thought the shade of pink she wore fell flat for an Indian wedding. Anuskha’s wedding also had a ‘western’ feel as well. I think Deepika’s choice of wearing red is an affirmation of her deep rooted culture. Have a look at each piece, the lehenga, duppatta (embroided with shlokas – gorgeous), jewelry; everything screams traditional! Deepika and Ranveer both look absolutely gorgeous.

    • @Annon So what would be different for you – a leopard-print lehenga? Just to ‘stand’ out and be different? C’mon, it’s her day, she wants to go traditional, let her. Personally, for me, red is such a beautiful and classic colour for weddings but this is not to look down on Anushka for wearing pink. Perhaps that’s the colour she likes and she looked equally beautiful.

  4. Did he steal a look test from one of SLB’s period dramas? This may be the first time where the groom has the bride beat on the amount of jewelry worn in that Punjabi wedding. If only he had worn something more toned down as in the Konkani style.

        • Actually, Anand Karaj is a Sikh wedding. Punjab is a region in India and Pakistan, where Punjabi is spoken. Punjabis can be Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Christian, Arya Samaji, etc. Sindh is a province in Pakistan, home to Karachi, Indus River, and Mohenjadaro. The language spoken is Sindhi, and you can be a Sindhi Muslim, Hindu etc. Many non-Muslim Sindhis amalgamate Hindu, Sikh and Sufi traditions; others are exclusively Sikh/Hindu, and there are some traditions that are uniquely Sindhi. In this case the wedding was Sikh; you can see Deepika wearing chura and kalira, which are central to Punjabi Hindu/Sikh wedding traditions. All Hindu/Sikh weddings have some similarities – all include pheras, but the numbers may differ. Regardless, all weddings are about the couple making vows to each other, and stating their desire to be with one another. This is true across religions, ethnicities and cultures.

How this post went from being one on a fashion blog to being the guest book for their wedding with all the online baaratis writing soubhagyavatibhava and chiraayubhava and all that. Calm down people. They released these pictures for the world to observe and comment. Don’t behave like the moral police…

  7. She looks pretty. I’m half Konkani and what she’s is wearing doesn’t look very typical or traditional, particularly the covered head (which I’ve personally never seen in any South Indian wedding). Konkani brides also usually wear a folded cloth draped in front in either white or gold (I’ve forgotten its name). Perhaps it varies in different subsects or whatever.

    • It’s called vairann. It’s typical in Kannadiga and Maharashtrian weddings (could be in other wedding rituals as well). Some brides don’t don it during the entire ceremony but just drape it for a few minutes for customs sake.

      They both look great. The clothes and jewelry are beautiful. It’s very traditional and typical of Konkani and Sindhi/Punjabi weddings respectively.

    • Update..my mum says the white/gold cloth is called ‘kolvi’. Another traditional touch would have been a crescent-shaped bindi and red and white dots alternately painted over the eyebrows. This is typically done by Konkani brides.

  8. Lovely ! I wish she hadn’t covered her hair for the Konkani wedding . I’ve yet to see a South Indian bride hide under a dupatta ! Much as I love the idea of Sankrit writing on the head covering, “Sada Saubhagyavati bhava ” is a bit regressive , no ? Thoughts?

    • What is regressive with “may you and your marriage always stay blessed & eternal”..I think that’s the note everyone gets married on, we all wish for happily ever after. Nothing regressive in that. And No ! I have no issues why something equivalent was not written on Ranvir’s dress somewhere. This was not a conference on feminism.

    • Not only regressive, it looks downright tacky but I think that’s Sabya for you: remember Vidya Balan with the dupatta look at Cannes. As she can’t see the text herself is she blessing everybody else or are people supposed to read it aloud to bless her?

      • Well, if you want to go down the route of regression, then you should find the ‘pheras’ regressive as well, right? I mean, it’s the man leading,the woman coyly following behind? In which case, we should break with many of our traditional ‘male-dominated’ customs.
        I think you need to chill. This is not a parade about feminism, it’s a couple getting married in a traditional way with age-old customs, something they want to do. Perhaps in your case, you may want to do something different?

    • Yes, regressive. The literal transalation means may you stay a lucky and blessed woman throughout your life. But the underlying meaning has always been that you stay married and not a widow. Then again, if you’re having a traditional wedding then how many such patriarchal rituals will you defy – everything from kanyadaan to mangalsutra to bidai is patriarchal and in a sense regressive.

    • “saubhagyavati” literally means sau(good) + bhagyawati(lucky in feminine gender). It might have been thought that a woman has good fortune/luck if she is “sada suhagan” … but that is just inference/viewpoint of people of older generation. ‘Sada saubhagyawati raho’ has one and only one literal meaning that is always have goodluck/fortune. There is nothing regressive about it.

    • Firstly saubhagahavati means have good luck/blessings. To the women who are implying that this means that may ur husband have a long life, I have an advice. Next time if some aunty gives u this blessing that may ur husband have a long life and may u not die a widow, pls fight with her! And refuse to accept this blessing! Say that yes u want ur husband to die before u! Is that cool?! Now let’s end this stupid discussion…

      • The chunri is provided by the groom’s side, right? So they are blessing her to remain free from the “curse” of widowhood and so protecting their son. As others have pointed out there are many patriarchal elements to weddings, over time they may diminsh but that doesn’t mean they need to be over emphasised. No need to argue with aunties, over time hopefully a more balanced view will evolve.

    • Regressive??? Oh for god’s sake it’s a stunning duppatta, with unique embroidery, which happens to be a shlokha, a commonly used Hindu blessing, embroidered, probably by hand, in gold thread! It’s really beautiful and Sabyasachi did a fabulous job.

  10. She has every right to wear whatever colour she wants and get decked in as much jewellery as she wants. Why are people comparing her look with Anushka’s look? No one was bashing Sonam for wearing red or Anushka for wearing red at her reception but Deepika wearing red is problematic? These three brides were dressed in the way they wanted and they all looked so happy and beautiful. A happy bride is a pretty bride.

    Her Sindhi wedding look is a typical Sindhi bridal look. A lot of jewellery, lehenga with lots of decorative work embellished with embroidery zari.. There look is very reminiscent of the old world charm, gives a very vintage vibe.. They make a beautiful couple. Congrats Ranveer and Deepika.

  11. It is clear that people dislike Deepika for whatever reason and even comment on her wearing red for her own wedding! Outrageous. Comparing brides and looks is no one’s business..it is so private. After seeing the comments I would have preferred no pictures at all. Let people (rich ones)have their moments too!
    That said, it looks splendid. The pictures of two good looking people clad in the highest luxury affordable is bound to look breathtaking. Congrats to them! That jewellery is insane! I get the feeling that in the first pic, Ranveer is mimicking lifting weights using that necklace because of how heavy it is! Haha.
    Wedding season has begun in Bollywood – their receptions, Priyanka chopra..ambanis….time to feast on visuals of gorgeous Indian wedding finery!

I realized that some people choose to spew venom just because they hate certain people. And they do it under the garb of being “critical” about fashion. Honestly, you’re fooling no one.

  14. I’m quite saddened to see the vitriol and insensitivity people harbour on someone else’s wedding day. We are no one to judge the intentions and thoughts that went into this happy day of their lives. If you have nothing positive to say, keep the unnecessary speculative comments to yourself. The bride and the groom look beautiful and happy! It’s so lovely to see two vastly different Indian traditions meet. For me weddings like these are about two families putting in love, thought, details, care into every little thing that goes into the ceremonies. The “Sada Soubhagyavati bhava” detail in the veil to bless her..which was most certainly given to her by her Mom in Law will be something she will treasure from this important day. I’m curious to see her South Indian look! God bless this beautiful couple. It’s easy to see they share so much love, warmth and happiness :)

      • Calling a bride tacky and her choices regressive without even attempting to understand the real meaning is nothing but spreading uniformed hate! As someone mentioned soubhagya’s literal translation means blessed with good luck. How is that tacky and regressive?! People are going out of their way to hate. I really find it hard to fathom what joy people get from being SO SO unreasonably negative. Weddings are a very very special occasion to the bride and the family and yes our comments may not make a difference to them but I find things like putting a bride down by comparing her to others, and creating unnecessary speculations all in the name of fun and fashion really shallow and heartless. Nothing civil about the intentions and the actions.

Or else they wouldn’t have announced when they would be releasing their wedding photos, and also ask their guests not to take any photos as they would be provided with some taken by a professional and approved by them. If they didn’t want the general public’s comments to ruin their happy moment, they could’ve kept it completely private like Rani and Aditya Chopra. They want to be talked about, which is why their PRs were releasing more details every ten minutes or so. So yeah, stop being defensive for them, unless you are their family or friend.. It comes with their territory and they know it.

          And oh, all those who commented on the shloka DO know its meaning and it IS regressive.

          Just accept it that Deepika’s sense is tacky, just like Aishwarya’s is, and there’s nothing wrong with it — you can’t ace everything in life.

  15. I like both as actors and wish them well.

    Initially I was curious as to what they would wear. But all the no pics etc. – don’t get me wrong its their wedding their choices – but as aam junta I just got bored of all the hoo hah of when they would drop and it didn’t make me go wow finally. Agree with those who found it Sabya catalogue look. . As for Sada Saubhagyavati bhava on a head covering it sounds like anglicised people thinking its so traditional. The reinforcement of these sada suhagan type phrases only underline why our widows fare so badly.

    My sister got married with a no pics policy for guests too but I feel it dampens the fun of many who like to share. Its one thing for bride and groom to be off limits but maybe its ok for guests to post pics of themselves wandering Lake Como?!

  16. Deepika is super popular everywhere, even on high heel confidential where generally most of the comments are unbiased and pretty accurate about the looks. I didn’t like any of the looks, may be cuz we have seen Deepika in period dramas in very similar looks. May be she should have chosen a different designer.

  17. Congrats to them both. Showbizz is a though boat to steer a relationship to marriage.
    Looking at very superficial aesthetics, from a very shallow point of view, bride and groom ‘looks’ are not memorable. As some of the others said, this could be out of any of their last 3 movies. But then Deepika does NOT have a personal sense of style. If one has to compare, say with Anushka, she remained very true to her style. I still remember the flowers in her hair. There was a sense of light and lightened to Anushka’s whole getbup.
    Not because of the color. Somehow one could see the bride a lot more.
    Here I can see the dupatta, the naath, the maangtikas etc, lots of eye makeup, but not the bride. If Anushka’s was sublime, this definitely was dense !

  18. Wow those are a lot of opinions about someone’s wedding pictures when the only thought in my head is “they look radiant in every way”

    Oh and I was a South Indian bride who did have a head covering (along with my very traditional kanjeevaram sari). I’ve seen others with the same. So it’s not completely outside the norm – and even if it was, it’s HER wedding. She’s not representing all of a community or all of womankind (I’m a feminist but to say sada saubhagyawati bhava is sexist is a tad ridiculous. Saubhagya is good luck – whether we interpret that as her husband being alive is up to us)

I too was surprised to see her head covered for the Konkani wedding,I am from mangalore and have never seen Konkani brides cover their head.In the south I guess only Telugu,kodava and muslim brides cover their head. The attire is different from regular Konkani brides too.Would love to see a full length pic of what looks like a traditional kanjeevaram saree.Thank god sabya did not add that ugly border on it .

    But they do look lovely and very happy together and that’s what matters

  20. Cannot believe on the amount of hate and bashing going on around someone’s wedding pictures and that too where one can only see 1/4th of the entire outfit in both the pictures.

    This mohalle waali aunty-level guspus is simply reflecting about our feudality, instead of progressing and being happy for the couple.

    We are more worried about the colour of the outfits, why the head was covered, why the jewelry was like from a blingy movie set than being receptive about how they chose to celebrate their crores of rupees worth wedding the way they want to.

    • It is a Punjabi custom. However, why does it matter if there is cross-over? I don’t understand why everybody is insisting that the dress has to be regionally “pure”. India is an amalgamation of cultures and peoples. If you want to wear something, because you like the way it looks, or it’s significance, more power to you.

    • Sindhis practice Hinduism and Sikhism.  Sindhis are a linguistic group who practice both religions, majority follow both at the same time which is a rarity in any linguistic group and a specialty about Sindhis. Ranveer’s paternal grandad is a devout Sikh hence they went for Anand Karaj. So Deepika is dressed as a typical Sindhi Sikh bride and they do wear Kalires. Even Sonam wore them at her Anand Karaj.

  22. I see so much hate in the comments. All of you criticising the colour, the jewellery, the Sanskrit sholkas on her duppatta etc are sounding like the neighbourhood aunties (and uncles) who come to a wedding only to find faults! She is the bride, its her choice to wear a “queen” like outfit or a simple one, a red one or a pink one, jewellery or no jewellery. Not fair to compare with other brides.

  24. Wow! They look amazing !! And the warmth and love from the photos makes me go awwww….

    I am wondering why so much negativity for Deepika and Sabyasachi bashing ? It’s their wedding , they selected the designer and Outfits what they wanted …it was clearly a very private moment as there were to live updates in social media etc….and they share two photos which gather so much nit picking … why?

  25. I dont get it. Two people in love got married. What they wore, it is their business (modern, traditional, heavy, simple) – and their choice. The world was clamouring for photos – which they shared and now so much of dissection that it is beginning to smell like a biology lab! And why compare to Anushka? Again – two people in love got married. What they wore, it is their business (modern, traditional, heavy, simple) – and their choice…Which is why I really respect P&P for never commenting on brides and grooms – just wishing them well. Classy.

    • No they won’t, this is Deepika. They pave a platform for hate on her. I am glad many people can see, how they setup Sabyasachi bet in previous post of her wedding thus setting up a platform for hate and negative commentary on this. It was well thought thru. I doubt if this comment will be posted but had to write.

      • Watta cosnpiracy theory!!!

        Chill this is hardly vitriol. If people don’t like the clothes doesn’t mean they hate the person. I am sure neither Sabya nor DP are going to be affected by a blog post. If you want to swoon over DP her insta is always there.

        I really like DP but this no criticism is stupid.

  26. The couple look really happy but i agree with the Sabya catalogue comment. I am honestly disappointed by their look in these two images even though i understand that as actors they have possibly done all the wedding looks in their movies/shoots so unlikely to come off as fresh and original regardless of what they wear. To those finding the criticism ‘hateful’ my response is that this is a fashion blog. We are not here to be polite but to share our pov and exchange ideas freely. Critiquing or analysing someones fashion sense doesnt mean one has a personal agenda against them. Someone in the comments section wrote what they wore is their business – its obviously not and that is why such blogs exist.

    • True.. vitriol and what not.. yuckiest comments from Deepika defenders. As always. Don’t get why people treat opinions on clothes, fashion sense, taste as hate towards the person.. it’s become a personal wrestle here, just 1 comment from a person stating their opinion of how catalogueish the pics of a real wedding seem, and there begins the defence wars with literally hating on the person. It’s true that Anushka and Sonam’s wedding pics with their husbands gave us some dreamy pictures to kind of expect same from Deepika and whoever gets hitched in future. But really there’s no hate on Deepika.

      • If you criticize a very personal choice that someone makes and if very dear to them and clearly reflecting their fashion choices/traditions – how is that not a “hate” on her? Hate her in a movie, an outing or some award show where a team dresses up and is for public consumption but a wedding is definitely personal. How would you feel f someone told you your outfit is very meh/bad/routine. Won’t you take it personally? Not to defend anyone but I find this justification of “just stating your opnion on someone’s wedding outfit” unfair. It is personal.

        • This place discusses outfits stars choose, so whatever extent of comments are made on the stars outfits, it’s maturity to accept that as a opinion on attire only. Any other level of perception is actually stating your acceptance and understanding of it. I wear clothes I like, or think look good for me, if you tell me how rubbish it is IL hate it, but not necessarily hate you for it.

          • You will hate me for it if I am a stranger. I’ll bet that you will never speak to me again if I (a total stranger) told you your clothes look awful.
            If I’m a friend however, you might be more tolerant. It is easy to think so objectively when it is someone else.
            I am only making an exception since this is a wedding and it is personal/private. For a styled event such as an award, movie promo etc etc, what you say is true. It ain’t my perception alone.

    • These are public figures and when they come out publically, I agree that fashion is a discussion point on what they wore. But unsolicited harsh comments on someone‘s personal celebration represents hate and vitriol, it has nothing to do with fashion and neither is fashionable !

    • It’s the double standards that people are calling out. I had a comment about on Sonam’s wedding look and I absolutely thought Anushka’s red reception look was over the top and grey reception look too muted. My comments weren’t vitriolic but not published nevertheless. I understood, heck even respected P&P for it. But this comment board has become a lecture on feminism or people’s interpretation of it and critique which is frankly personal and harsh. The only reason I can think of is Deepika and Ranveer are huge stars, posts and views on them are clickbait for this site.

  27. PnP, you may want to disable comments on anyone’s wedding pics you post. The permitted negativity here reflects your lethargic or convenience moderation

  28. Haha this is what happens when everyday there’s a bling overdose, thanks to all the marriage/Diwali/ party guests all dressing up in wedding regalia regardless of occasion! There’s actual wedding-outfit fatigue because there’s nothing new to see. The poor (not really…) couple has to overcompensate with jewels or whatever in order not to be outshone!
    Anyway, congratulations and best wishes to the couple… They do look happy and lovely, which is what it’s all about <3

  29. They want people to talk about them, it’s a PR ploy: they posted their wedding dates, danced around at the airport and then none of the guests were allowed to post photos of themselves, even away from the wedding venue. For Anushka/Virat it was suspected they were about to marry, but they didn’t make a song and dance beforehand. Rani/Aditya C quietly got married and haven’t realised any photos to date as it’s a private affair for them.
    They built anticipation on releasing the photos to get a reaction. For me it was underwhelming, as others have said sabya catalogue/ historical drama. That’s only a comment on the attire not on them as people. At the end of the day it’s their choice and finances and they will do as they like.

  30. Ok let’s cut the crap.
    For them
    1. Ranveer and Deepika chose this look – their choice
    2. Did they decide their wedding fineries considering what will appeal to masses – NO (its driven by their customs, culture, personal choice and beliefs)
    3. Did they try to impress us – NO
    4. Do they really care what people think- No

    Bottom line – criticizing the fashion choice for their weeding is nowhere cruel because they didnt ask for our opinion neither it matter to the. So it is not hurting anyone, it is not cruel

    For us
    1.. We like it or not – our choice
    2. Does it matter to us – YES (for fun)
    3. To be biased to a person on her wedding day – Our choice

    Bottom line – Love it or hate it, it is all for us and in no way effecting them. Fighting over it is insane. Every one has the right to their opinion and no one can dictate other to follow what they believe in like don’t criticize the “Bride”. You dont like (to criticize bride) then dont critisize but dont stop others from expressing their opinion because that is “REGRESSIVE”
    Its win win, we are enjoy discussing and they remain unaffected by it. No one is harmed.
    So cheers and let the opinions flow.

  31. The bride and groom look so happy and in love. Wishing them well.
    To the people who are defending the criticism, the pictures posted above are from their wedding which was an extremely personal affair. I find it really unfair to post the pictures on a fashion blog and then criticize their “Looks”. Only the bride and the groom can decide on what to wear on the wedding ceremony. Kudos to PnP for not saying a word on their attire and just wishing them a happy life.

    I was a little disappointed that they decided to keep their wedding a private affair, but now I understand why they had to make this choice. With people around criticising your every move, it’s better to keep such ceremonies as private as you can and just be happy.

  32. Regarding the dupatta writing here are my two cents if anyone cares:
    Say it does mean may you never have to face widowhood or always stay blessed i.e stay married – how’s this regressive? Firstly, of course it’s a wedding so it makes sense to give a wedding specific blessing as opposed to something like the general may you live long whatever.
    Secondly can anyone deny that being a widow is an undesirable thing? Is any married feminist out there indifferent to being widowed or do they also wish “shoot really love this dude so I hope my husband never dies”??!! It’s like the idea of being an orphan is or losing a child is undesirable, but doesn’t mean the person is being discriminated against. Wishing that your husband may never die/may you always stay married doesn’t at all mean it fuels mistreatment of widows or is a regressive wish. Hypothetically even if a woman becomes a widow and marries again this blessing is applicable – heck she can even reuse a dupatta like that if ever needed LOL.
    As for dying before your husband I don’t think that is necessarily implied but again for some it’s not an uncommon sentiment for someone in love to wish they die before they ever have to live a life where their loved one (child or husband or whatever) is ever taken away from them or rather the calamity befalls them instead. Now whether Ranveer should also get it imprinted somewhere or be blessed with the same blessing is a diff story – we don’t know if he has nor does it mean deepika isn’t a feminist cause she chose to wear it even when he didn’t have something similar.

    • You can’t completely erase the appalling status of widows for hundreds of years in our culture which this saying evokes. That’s the point being made here – not denying the blessings of a long and married life to this couples.

      • But it doesn’t even mean may you stay married forever!!!! It means may you be blessed with good luck! Gosh!! Some of the pointless nitpickings and misplaced aggressions.

      • I don’t want to erase or refute the suffering of widows. I just think it’s a false equivalence and certainly very subjective what emotion it evokes in whom.
        One might even say attacking this is like attacking her freedom to practice her religious beliefs as she sees fit.
        This is a very personal choice and a matter of personal belief – she’s not going to sit there and wonder before doing it how it might affect millions of people stupid enough to idolize celebrities and mimic their every move. The onus is not on her

    • Can’t believe nobody noticed that…! I just soo felt there’s something so dark about the pics .. it’s the make up.. it’s the very smoky eye make up. Seriously.. I was all this while thinking how the pics have dark light.

      • There is another family group pic that was released. I am sorry to say that her eye make up looked almost gothic in that. They are trying to give an old/vintage feel with the lighting. But for that the makeup has to be very light/tradition kajal only.

  33. She looks lovely in that orange-bronze sari. Very striking.

    I also want to add that she didn’t try to look 5 shades lighter which is refreshing.

  34. It’s hilarious how much hate people are giving to two people who – god forbid – dressed how they wanted for their OWN wedding! They look stunning and happy, who cares about the rest?!
