Who: Bollywood
star Fardeen Khan and Natasha Madhvani
When: December
14, 2005
Where: The
couple were united at the Grand Hyatt in Mumbai, India.
The Engagement:
When Natasha's mother, the legendary actress Mumtaz, portrayed
the love of Fardeen's father, the actor Feroze Khan on the silver
screen years ago, little did the two thespians realize that
a real life love would bloom between their families with the
passing of time. Friends since childhood, Fardeen and Natasha
announced their intention to wed on May 5, 2005 at The Hempel
Hotel in London.
Pre-wedding
Festivities: One day prior to the nuptials guests gathered
at the JW Marriott in Mumbai for a traditional mehendi ceremony,
in which the bride-to-be's hands were adorned with red henna
designs by mehendi artist to the stars Veena Nagda. Later, a
variety of platters including paneer seekh, chicken tikka and
pita bread was served to attendees during a sangeet, or musical
ceremony.
The Ceremony:
Recipients of a wedding invitation designed by the groom's sister,
artist Laila Khan Rajpal, convened at the five-star Grand Hyatt
to witness a civil ceremony.
The Dress:
The bride declared her devotion to her new husband in a traditional
ghaghra choli--a floor-length crimson and red skirt paired with
a gold blouse which showcased the bride's petite physique. A
red and gold veil added the finishing touch to the ensemble.
Fashion designer
Shahid Amir, the mastermind behind all of Fardeen Khan's stylish
on-screen wardrobe, created a royal blue sherwani (a knee-length
coat) for the occasion, embellished with embroidery and Swarovski
crystals.
The Reception:
An array of Indian fare, such as Lagan Ka Murg, Dum Gosht Biryani,
and Amchuri Bhindi Babycom was served alongside such Western
delicacies as cilantro fried fish, roast chicken with fusilli
and cherry tomatoes and chicken breast with teriyaki sauce to
the two thousand guests in attendance at the Grand Ballroom
and courtyard of The Grand Hyatt on December 16, 2005.
