3. Anand Ahuja and Sonam Kapoor – The Wild-Child Couple
One look at this couple and you’ll know these lovey-dovey beings are playful kids at heart. Despite coming from different backgrounds, they still find the right person in each other. And, they couldn’t look any happier, now. Let’s just go to the beginning and see how it all started.
Love story
Now, Sonam is one of those people who don’t like to talk about her romantic affairs, but she really doesn’t mind when the word spreads around through social media. The couple isn’t keeping anything under covers when they flirt openly on platforms like Instagram. But that’s really cute if you have seen the back and forth between them – so cute that it puts a smile on your face. Anand shared an image on Instagram of orchids, which was probably a gift from Sonam. She wrote in the comments section “Orchids represent love perfection thoughtfulness and beauty.” And, Anand replied “They are also just pretty. #OhYouFancyHuh #ImNotThatFancy”. This romantic couple also knows how to keep its audience amused with their light-hearted banter. But, how did they even meet in the first place? For one, Anand is not from the film industry. He’s a businessman and the founder of Bhane, a popular cloth brand. And, Sonam, well Sonam is a Fashionable ‘Aisha’ who has lived and grown up in the industry. But there was one thing common between the two – both had a taste for high-quality clothes.
They met through a common friend Pernia Qureshi who is a good friend of Ahuja and the stylist of Sonam. And, they got along so well with each other, that for all we know, Anand proposed her after a month into the relationship with her. This all happened in 2014. However, like many cautious couples, they waited for their intimacy to grow stronger. In 2016, they made their first public appearance together. Sonam was still, however, stuck to her ‘no-talk-on-relationship’ policy. However, Anand was the bolder of the two and during an interview to a magazine, he confessed he had a crush on her, a millennial style one! Sonam took the leap in early 2018, by telling a magazine that being around Anand makes her happy. They also welcomed the new year in Paris together – pics were all over the place.
And, curiously, none of the two actually ever announced their marriage. It was Sonam’s family who released a statement declaring the nuptial’s date for the two!
Wedding Date: 8 May 2018
Wedding Details
While the previous two leading ladies of the Bollywood chose to keep their weddings a private affair, Sonam Kapoor turned out to be the more, how should we say, maybe more cordial one? From her ‘Veere Di Wedding’ co-stars like Kareena Kapoor Khan and Swara Bhaskar to Bachchan family, the wedding got the attendance of all the big names of Bollywood. The ‘Khoobsurat’ actress went differently in choosing her bridal dress as well. Her designer was Anuradha Vakil who made her a gold and red splendid lehenga. She opted for traditional heavy jewellery complemented with chooda and matha-patti. Her chick groom also looked elegant in a pagadi with ruby beads and a muted gold sherwani. They tied the knot in Anand Karaj, the Sikh traditional wedding ceremony, at Rockdale, Mumbai. And they lived happily ever after, as far as we know.
