    When actors Prateik Babbar and Priya Banerjee tied the knot this Valentine’s Day, little did we know that their wedding would be going in our permanent inspiration folder.


    For starters, the groom ditched traditional menswear options for the wedding and opted for an artfully draped Tarun Tahiliani outfit. Then there were all the ways the couple chose to keep Prateik’s late mother’s memory alive for the wedding.

    A beautiful black and white portrait of Smita Patil was kept near the couple at the mandap, making it seem like she was watching over them as they took their first steps into this new chapter of their lives.

    Aside from these, Priya’s mangalsutra also had a special Smita Patil connection. According to Filmfare, the bride’s mangalsutra was crafted from the groom’s mother’s earrings, which she was meant to wear after Prateik’s birth.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
