shaadi season for brothers....

It’s the shaadi season in this Khandaan !


The hype surrounding Shaadi No.1 has barely died down, and Fardeen and Zayed are already getting ready for Shaadi No.2 and Shaadi No.3! Fret not, for you will not be subjected to two more reel barbadis.. .uh …shaadis! This time the two are all set to get hitched in real life.. Here is a sneak peak into what kind of preparations are being done in this Khandaan!

The brides to-be…
Fardeen will be tying the knot with the eldest daughter of yesteryears actress Mumtaz and London-based business man Mayur Madhvani. Having known each other all their lives, this union is a case of childhood friends falling in love.

Chote bhaiya, Zayed has taken off after Fardeen. He too is marrying his school sweetheart, Mallaika Parekh. Both of them were in boarding school, together. Cho chweet, no?

The venue…
If the two lovers had it their way, Fardeeen and Natasha would abscond to a faraway island. But since that plan didn’t work out, plan B is that they will exchange wedding vows at the posh J W Marriot Hotel in Mumbai. Starting on December 13th, the celebrations will go on for four days, upto Decmeber 16th. That doesn’t sound too bad, does it?

On the other hand, the Hyatt Regency is the place chosen for Zayed and Mallaika’s nuptials on November 20th. The mehndi ceremony will take place at Zayed’s home whereas the sangeet will be at Mumbai’s Grand Maratha. This will be followed by another do at the family’s Golden Palms Resort and Spa in Bangalore.

Designer plans for the trousseau…
Natasha’s trousseau will be given a personal touch as Fardeen’s mother Sundari will be designing it herself. For the wedding, the outfit will be an ethnic ensemble in traditional shades of red and gold, whereas the outfit for the reception will be an Indo Western outfit. The mehndi and sangeet night outfits will be designed by Tarun Tahiliani. Fardeen’s trousseau on the other hand will be designed by his personal designer Shaahid Amir.

The other bahu, Mallaika, too has ample help from her ma-in-law. Her wedding outfit will be a surprise from Zarine. Designer Adarsh Gill has designed a sari for the D-Day, as well as salwar-kameez for the other functions.

And the guest list includes…
The combined guest list of these two weddings will probably represent the who’s who of the country including the prime minister MR. manmohan singh and many other leaders and corporate and bollywood biggies... We could be name dropping for hours! 2000 odd guests are expected to grace the Zayed- Mallaika gala.

The Fardeen- Natasha wedding, too will see the crème da le crème of society from film stars to politicians, in full attendance.

So this household will be buzzing with activity right up to December. Going by the preparations, both the weddings have the makings of a Bollywood Blockbuster! We wish the both the couples a lifetime of happiness as they get ready to take the plunge!
