ANTIQUE props have been used for the grand mughal-themed reception for Saif Ali Khan and his new bride Kareena Kapoor in a spacious government bungalow in New Dehi on Thursday (October 18).
UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, BJP leader Arun Jaitley, former cricketers Kapil Dev and Abbas Ali Baig are among the invitees for the Dawat-e-Walima, being organised by Saif’s mother, actress Sharmila Tagore.
“We are decorating the entire place. The theme is off-white and gold with mogra flowers.
We have a stage set up inside and it is all going to be in Mughal style. We have used 200 years old antique props for the decoration,” Tipsy Anand, from event management company Good Earth, said.
“The reception will start at 8pm. We have been given a guest list of 500-600 people,” she added.
For the reception, Kareena, 32, will wear a pink gharara or a pink-blue or green sari, her designer Manish Malhotra said, while Saif, 42, will don a Raghavendra Rathore creation.
Their wedding took place at Saif’s Bandra residence in the form of a registered marriage on Tuesday afternoon (October 16), after which the couple exchanged vows at the Taj Mahal hotel in the evening and hosted a post-wedding party attended by family, friends and the who’s who of Bollywood.
