Indian weddings are akin to a Bollywood blockbuster, with their vibrant colours and lavish décor. It’s always a grand spectacle, where everyone wearing from scorching sarees to sherwanis and donning with vibrant jewelry that could add weight to the wedding attire.

But wait—it’s an Indian wedding of a bollywood star’s daughter!

Ira Khan, the daughter of Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan, and Nupur Shikhare, her fitness instructor and businessman, are in news headlines not because of their big fat wedding but the choice of their wedding attire. While the bride opted simple traditional outfit, groom ditched the conventional attire and embraced the day with shorts and a vest.

As the videos went viral, Nupur Shikhare received a mixed bag of reactions on social media.
