Bollywood actors Kriti Kharbanda and Pulkit Samrat tied the knot on March 15. The ceremony took place in Manesar at ITC Grand Bharat, near Delhi. On Thursday, Kriti dropped a series of pictures from her chooda (bangle-wearing) ceremony. Unlike her contemporaries, Kriti opted for the traditional red chooda set and revealed that many people tried to talk her out of it.
For the occasion, she wore a lime green saree with an off-shoulder blouse and paired it with her mom`s wedding dupatta. The actress chose to take the vintage route and wore her grandmother`s necklace set.
View this post on Instagram Kriti`s kaleeras were designed by Mrinalini Chandra, and were customised for the actress. A closer look showed a special message “You will marry me” engraved on them.
Kriti`s photo album also showed her doing the chooda ritual on her family and friends where the bride shakes the kaleeras and whoever gets a piece fallen on their head is the next in line to marry.
She wrote in the caption, “Naani ma ka haar aur ma ki shaadi ka dupatta! The two things I was sure I was going to adorn during my Chooda ceremony even before there was a boyfriend or a proposal bachpan ka Sapna tha. It was a magical morning. Riding high on emotions and my heart pounding coz pulkit and I weren’t allowed to meet or see each other before the phera’s. While we did things our way, a few things were still old school. I wish he was a part of this moment too, but sigh, I loved the look on his face the first time he saw these pictures and was bowled over. Laal chooda and traditional kaleera’s were a non negotiable too. The number of people who tried to convince me otherwise was insane. But I’m so glad I stuck to what I wanted to do and didn’t look back.”
Pulkit and Kriti have worked together in films such as `Veerey Ki Wedding`, `Taish` and `Pagalpanti`. Their wedding festivities took place in the presence of close family members and friends. Actors Ali Fazal, Richa Chadha, Varun Sharma and Manjot Singh were also a part of the functions.
