One of the biggest Indian weddings of the year is taking place in Mumbai this week
Th lavish wedding will take place at Mumbai's Turf Club
The pre-wedding celebrations for one of the biggest Indian weddings this year are well underway in Mumbai. The marriage of the eldest daughter of one of India’s most prominent industrialists, Champalal Vardnan, is due to take place on Friday 21st, although the party has got into full swing ahead of the nuptials.
Vardnan’s daughter, Neelam, is due to marry Tushar Parekh. The match is an arranged marriage and Neelma’s father is said to be very happy with Tushar as he believes he will make a great son-in-law.
10 separate events have been planned to celebrate the union. A number of parties have been organised in the run-up to the big day including some unusual events like a bingo night and a DJ evening, as well as the more traditional occasions like a formal sangeet and mehendi.
The bingo night has already taken place and was a hit with the many guests as the prizes which were on offer were extremely extravagant. Those who were lucky enough to get a “full house” on the night received prizes in the form of state of the art mobile phones, luxury holidays, and even sports cars.
The wedding itself is being held at the Turf Club on Friday and is expected to be a huge occasion with somewhere in the region of 5,000 guests scheduled to attend.
Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik celebrate their marriage in traditional style
Newly married Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik plan to set up home in Dubai
Following weeks of controversy, tennis star Sania Mirza and Pakistani cricketer Shoaib have finally married and now plan to celebrate their union in traditional style.
The nikah ceremony was held in the stunning ball room at the Taj Krishna Hotel in Mirza’s hometown of Hyderabad, India, on April 12th.Only close family and selected friends of the couple were in attendance. The wedding was brought forward by three days after the high level of media attention which has surrounded the couple since the engagement was announced.
The sports stars revealed their plans to marry at the end of March. After the news broke, the love story took a strange twist after an Indian woman came forward to claim that she had married Shoaib in a telephone nikah in 2002, and she was still his wife.
Despite Shoaib’s claim that no formal nikah had taken place, eventually he had to concede to a divorce in order to clear the way for a marriage to Mirza.
The bride wore a red saree, the same garment her mother wore at her nikah 25 years previously, to marry 28-year-old Malik. As is traditional in south Asian culture, the wedding celebrations will continue for several days. A mehndi ceremony, sangeet, and a grand reception with 1000 guests are scheduled to take place this week to mark the union of the two sports stars. The happy couple plan to live in Dubai.

A whole host of top Asian wedding vendors and suppliers attended the event to display their services including photographers, caterers, mehndi artists, and bridal make-up and beauty experts plus wedding planners.
