Ira Khan, daughter of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, and her husband Nupur Shikhare hosted a lavish wedding reception in Mumbai on January 13, graced by the who’s who of Bollywood and Indian business.
A Dreamy White Wedding in Udaipur
Ira and Nupur tied the knot earlier this month in an intimate Christian-inspired white wedding in Udaipur, attended by close friends and family. Photos and videos showed Ira dressed in a princess-style white gown and veil, while fitness trainer Nupur looked dapper in a white suit.
The nuptials were preceded by festivities like a colourful mehendi ceremony where Aamir showed off his painted hands, and a fun-filled sangeet where Aamir, his son Azad and ex-wife Kiran Rao enthralled guests by singing and dancing to Bollywood hits.
Ira shared an emotional first dance with Nupur and sealed it with a kiss on stage. As a fitness trainer, Nupur was reportedly hired by none other than Sushmita Sen years ago to train Miss India contestants like Urvashi Rautela.
Grand Celebrations With Family and Friends
Following the Udaipur celebrations, Ira and Nupur hosted a reception at Taj Land’s End in Mumbai on January 13th for their friends from Bollywood and beyond.
Aamir Khan, dressed in an elegant black sherwani, arrived with his mother Zeenat Hussein, sister Nikhat Khan Hegde and brother Faisal Khan. Other family members included his ex-wives Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao, nephew Imran Khan with wife Avantika Malik, and children Junaid, Ira and Azad.
Close friend Shah Rukh Khan made an entrance with wife Gauri, and the two superstars were pictured engaging in deep conversation. Faisal Khan, who has stayed out of the public eye for years, made a rare appearance and posed for photos with Aamir’s son Junaid.
Other tinseltown guests included Salman Khan with Katrina Kaif, Ranveer Singh, Hrithik Roshan, Rekha, Dharmendra with wife Hema Malini, Jaya and Shweta Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Vidya Balan, Raveena Tandon and Chunky Pandey.
Juhi Chawla arrived with husband Jay Mehta, as did Rupali Ganguly with spouse Ashwin Verma. Industrialist Mukesh Ambani and wife Nita dazzled in traditional outfits, while cricketing icon Sachin Tendulkar suited up with wife Anjali. Politician Aditya Thackeray was also spotted at the venue.
Ira dazzled in a red embroidered lehenga while Nupur looked dapper in a black sherwani with mirrorwork. The couple happily posed for photos with their guests throughout the evening.
