Salman Khan’s younger sister Arpita Khan got married to Delhi based businessman, Aayush Sharma in a grand destination wedding at the Taj Falaknuma Palace in Hyderabad on 18 November 2014. This was the first wedding in the Khan family after 16 years and they made sure that it was memorable. This royal destination wedding was the most talked about event of that year!
The celebration kicked off with a baraat led by Aayush at 4.30 pm and continued till late at night. The baraat included horses and two bands one from Hyderabad and another from Delhi. The wedding took place as per Hindu-Punjabi rituals and was a close-knit affair. The guest list consisted of 250 members and included celebrities from the Hindi and Telugu film fraternity as well as politicians. Some of the guests who attended the wedding apart from the families of the bride and groom were Sania Mirza, Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif, Hrithik Roshan, Karan Johar, Varun Dhawan, Hema Malini, Sajid Nadiadwala etc. The guests from the Telugu film industry included Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, Nagarjuna, Venkatesh and their families. The venue managers made sure that a high level of security was provided for the event and roads to the venue were also blocked off to ensure smooth functioning of the event.
The theme chosen for the wedding was of course a royal one. The entire palace was decorated in a pink and white décor. The stage had pink and white flower décor and the whole venue had pink lighting, making the entire palace look regal. Arpita Khan looked beautiful in a red and gold lehenga from the label Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla and Aayush looked dapper in a gold sherwani with Swarovski beads of crystal glass designed by the Hyderabadi Makhdoom brothers and it was a gift to Aayush from the Makhdoom brothers to Aayush as a gesture of affection towards the Khan family.
Salman Khan had booked all the 60 rooms in the hotel for the event. This palace has the world’s largest dining table with 101 seats! And since the event is taking place in such a royal fashion the food menu was also nothing less than a royal feast. The food menu included Hyderabadi special dishes like the Hyderabadi Dum Biryani, Haleem, Pathar ka Gosht (meat cooked on stone), etc.
This wedding had all the elements of a royal celebration complete with horses and a palace! This star-studded wedding at The Taj Falaknuma Palace hotel was extravagant, dreamy and surreal, to say the least! Weddings are events that leave us with life-long memories and with this venue that’s exactly what we get, ever-lasting memories of a beautiful wedding!
So, if you are looking for a royal celebration and don’t want to compromise on this, then let me tell you, that you don’t have to if you choose The Taj Falaknuma Palace hotel as it would give your dreamy event the royal touch that you are looking for!
We @VenueMonk wish the couple a happy life ahead and always want them to stay happy!
