Katrina Kaif’s sisters lead her down the aisle at her wedding
Katrina Kaif has delighted fans by sharing glimpses of her grand yet very secretive wedding to Vicky Kaushal. The couple got married at Six Senses Resort, Fort Barwara in Rajasthan on December 9. After posting selected photos from the wedding, haldi and mehendi This morning, Katrina Kaif took to Instagram to share snaps of her sisters walking her down the aisle. Katrina dedicated the post to her six sisters, who she calls her “pillars of strength.”
The photos show Katrina Kaif performing the bride’s wedding ceremony under “phoolon ki chaadar“hosted by her sisters Stephanie, Christine, Natacha, Melissa, Sonia and Isabelle. This is a departure from the traditional ceremonies at another traditional Punjabi wedding – because”phoolon ki chaadar“(literally meaning a flower plate) is usually held by the brothers of the bride.
“Growing up, we sisters always protect each other. They are the pillar of my strength and we always hold the foundation for each other… May it always be like that!” Katrina Kaif wrote while sharing snaps of her bride.
Katrina Kaif is not the first Bollywood bride to wear her head in traditional wedding ceremonies. Before her, Patralekhaa surprised many people when she applied sindoor (vermilion) on Rajkummar Rao’s forehead during their wedding.
Sindoor traditionally applied by the groom on the bride’s forehead. However, the couple’s wedding video shows after Rajkummar applied sindoor on Patralekhaa’s forehead, he leaned forward and said “Tum bhi laga do (You also apply a number).” Patralekhaa had a smile on her lips.
Meanwhile, actress Dia Mirza has chosen to forgo the traditional rituals of Kanyadaan and Billiards when she married businessman Vaibhav Rekhi on 15 February this year.
Kanyadaan is a ritual symbolizing that a father ‘gives his daughter’ to her husband, while Billiards marks the departure of the bride from her father’s house to her husband’s house.
In an Instagram post, Dia Mirza said it’s time for “women to own their own companies” and redefine what is old. “We said NO to ‘Kanyadaan‘ and ‘Billiards“Change starts with choice, doesn’t it?”
In another significant break with tradition, Dia Mirza’s wedding was conducted by a female priest, Sheela Atta. “The culmination for us was the Vedic ceremony conducted by a female priest!” Dia Mirza wrote in her Instagram post.
