We planned it as an intimate ceremony, but even by limiting the guest list, we expect quite a large attendance. We have a large family, and so does Sobhita.”

The bride has ensured that the wedding was filled with all the pomp and grandeur of a Big Fat Indian Wedding, complete with proper rituals and traditions of their shared cultural heritage. “It's interesting how you look at photographs of some wedding, you could tell this is from here, it represents this particular culture, this must be their roots, or this jewellery is from this part, you could piece together a story of a heritage,” she had said in an interview, “It's very beautiful. I am not a minimal type of person. I mean that could be a mood or looks for some day, but I think for these occasions, which are ceremonial, I like full fervour.”
