Parineeti Chopra’s wedding attire, a resplendent ivory lehenga crafted by renowned designer Manish Malhotra, held a sentimental secret. Integrated into the ensemble was her beloved nani’s challa, a cherished keychain. In an Instagram story, Parineeti expressed how she missed her nani on this momentous day but found solace in carrying a piece of her legacy. The challa, adorned with keys, was emblematic of her nani’s role as the matriarch of the household, producing a comforting melody as she moved about.
Malhotra disclosed that this distinctive touch was essential, as it embodied strength and grace. The challa also incorporated elements symbolizing significant aspects of both Parineeti and Raghav’s lives, including London where they first crossed paths at the London School of Economics, music, and the Khanda Sahib.
More than just an accessory, the challa became an integral part of Parineeti’s bridal ensemble, adding a profound personal connection to her special day. The meticulously handcrafted wedding attire demanded over 2,500 hours of workmanship. Additionally, Parineeti further personalized her lehenga by having Raghav’s name embroidered in Devnagari script.
For the wedding, Parineeti chose a traditional heavily embellished lehenga, a striking contrast to the pink Barbie-esque sari she donned for the reception. Adorned with diamond and Russian emerald jewelry from Manish Malhotra’s exclusive collection, she carried a double dupatta. The choli and dupattas featured delicate pearl detailing along the hem, complementing the layers of diamond and emerald necklaces she wore. Parineeti completed her look with a matching maang tikka and striking stud earrings.
As a modern bride, Parineeti opted for a pink chooda instead of the customary red, adorned with studded emerald kadas, adding a contemporary touch to her bridal ensemble.
