Indian Celebrity Weddings That Caused A Stir

If there’s one thing that unites the world these days it’s the obsession over celebrity weddings. And over the past few years, there have been many (an understatement if there’s ever one!). Big, small, public, or intimate, these celebrity weddings often bring together all our favourite stars under a roof in their finery and give us unforgettable pop culture moments, like the time Janhvi Kapoor and Rihanna grooved to ‘Zingat’ in Jamnagar (a sentence that would confuse a time traveller). Now that we’re on the cusp of getting another celebrity wedding that would occupy the news cycle for days to come, let’s take a look at some that remain iconic…

Iconic celebrity weddings over the years

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli

Everyone remembers where they were when the stunning pictures from Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli’s wedding ceremony dropped. The couple chose Tuscany, Italy, as their wedding venue and hosted an intimate yet opulent affair for their family and friends. Anushka’s pastel pink Sabyasachi lehenga set the template for brides to follow, while Virat looked dapper in an ivory sherwani. Their wedding photographs captured moments of pure joy and love and quickly went viral, enchanting fans worldwide.

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh's wedding was a spectacular display of love and elegance, setting new benchmarks for destination weddings. The couple chose a destination wedding at the enchanting Lake Como in Italy for the ceremony. The wedding beautifully reflected the actors’ diverse backgrounds with both South Indian and North Indian traditional ceremonies. Deepika’s bridal attire, which was the talk of the town, included a traditional Kanjeevaram saree and a stunning Sabyasachi lehenga. Ranveer’s regal outfits complemented her attire.

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’s wedding was a grand celebration of cultures and traditions with a blend of Indian and Western ceremonies. The wedding took place at the majestic Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur.

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor

The couple had people making wild speculations about everything from their wedding venue to the dates. Ultimately, they got married in a picture-perfect ceremony on the balcony of their sea-facing Mumbai home. Alia and Ranbir looked like a vision in their complimenting ivory ensembles and the careful candids from the nuptials are testament to that. Alia's cat as a bridesmaid (we have to assume) was the perfect touch!

Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal

One of the most anticipated weddings of recent times, Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal’s wedding took place in Fort Barwara in Rajasthan, and was as stunning as you can expect. The couple kept their relationship under wraps till they actually got married. Katrina chose a pastel Sabyasachi lehenga while Vicky wore an ivory sherwani for the ceremony. The couple’s decision to keep their wedding private added an element of intrigue and exclusivity. Their wedding photographs, capturing the couple’s joy and love, became the talk of the town.

Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra

The couple hard launched their relationship, amidst fervent speculation, by dropping their wedding pictures and videos from the ceremony at Jaisalmer’s Suryagarh Hotel. Decked out in head-to-toe Manish Malhotra, the two Bollywood stars looked gorgeous and happy as they got married surrounded by close friends and family. The remastered version of ‘Ranjha’ from their movieShershaahwent viral and quickly became a staple on wedding reels and videos for months.

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan’s wedding was the OG Bollywood wedding that had the country buzzing for days to follow. The wedding took place in Mumbai at the Bachchan house and was a blend of grandeur and tradition. Aishwarya’s bridal attire, a golden Kanjeevaram saree, was nothing short of regal. The wedding also, reportedly, caused a few big names to be upset at being excluded from the guest list.

Ira Khan and Nupur Shikhare

Everyone became a fashion police when pictures and videos from Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan’s wedding ceremony surfaced online. Fitness trainer Nupur ditched the conventional baraat and chose to jog 8 km to the venue with his friends. The groom signed the wedding papers in his sweaty running clothes while the bride wore kolhapuri chappals with her outfit. The whole thing was charming as it reflected their unique tastes but the Internet was having none of it. Cue the memes!
