The wedding invites are out for the grandest wedding Bollywood has seen since the Bachchan media frenzy, following Abhishek and Aishwarya’s nuptials.
If you haven’t guessed it already, it is the royal wedding of Saif Ali Khan with long-time girlfriend and actress Kareena Kapoor. Despite speculation of an October 16th union, the couple is now set to tie the knot two days later on October 18th, according to the invite.
Leaked online, the invite skips the flamboyance and glamour that is synonymous with Bollywood and opts for a more tasteful and simple design, complete with the royal seal of the Nawab of Pataudis.
The cream coloured wedding invitation has a golden script that reads:
"Begam Mansur Ali Khan of Pataudi requests the pleasure of the company of .... at the Dawat-e-Walima to celebrate the wedding of her son Saif Ali Khan, son of Late Nawab Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi to Kareena Kapoor, daughter of Shri Randhir Kapoor and Smt. Babita Kapoor on Thursday the 18th of October, at 8pm"
While details of the venue are not on the invite, it is widely known that the wedding is expected to take place at the Pataudi Royal Palace.
Kareena is expected to wear mother-in-law Sharmila Tagore’s stole that she had worn during her marriage, while the rest of the outfit has been designed by Ritu Beri.
The intimate ceremony is expected to see all the Bollywood biggies as well as some of the royal families of India.
