The Engagement: Shilpa looked radiant with her 14 Carat ring after the ceremony which took place at the Juhu residence of Kundra. Sister Shamita was missed at the ceremony as she was away in the Big Boss house and we are glad her producers let her exit the show for big sisters D-Day.
The Sangeet/Mehndi: This pre-wedding bash took place in Khandala to kickstart the celebrations. Complete with designer mehndi by Veena Nagda to dances choreographed by Ganesh Hagede set the mood right of the wedding party.
The Wedding: took place on 22nd November at amansion owned by Shilpa's business partner/friend Kiran Bawa in Khandala. Raj dressed in a Shantanu-Nikhil (designer for all outfits of the groom) Shervani rode a chariot to the wedding venue. Shilpa looked stunning in a traditional Manglorian trousseau by Tarun Tahiliani adorning jewelry of over 6 crs. Few Bollywood celebs were invited for the ceremony as the wedding party consisted manly of the Bhagnani's and family and friends of the couple.
The Reception: 24th November at the Grand Hyatt, Mumbai definitely proved to be a grand
affair with who's who of Bollywood turning up. It seemed like a red carpet event as media camped outside and took messages from the invitees. RDB and Richi Rich entertained the guests while we're not sure if justice was done to the 80kg/9-tier wedding cake by the figure conscious celebs.Those who made the evening memorable by their presence were Shahrukh & Gauri Khan, Hrithik & Suzzane Roshan, Amitabh Bachhan with bahu Aishwarya, King of good times Vijay Mallya, Sahara Chairman Subrotto Das, Govinda, Javed Akhtar - the list is endless. The ones who were conspicuous by their absence were Salmaan Khan (said to be busy shooting Dabaang) and Akshay Kumar & Twinkle (supposedly not
invited), Saif, Aamir and the 3 actresses (Kareena-Shooting in Aussi
Land,Katrina-has Jaundice & Priyanka). Nonetheless it was a prodigious turnup of the celebs
biggies making it a Big Fat Bollywood Reception to remember.
The Pujas: A trend set by the Bachchans to fly to different temples post-wedding is being continued by the Shetty gal. Shilpa & Raj leave for the Lord Venkateshwara temple in Tirupati and then to the Oneness University in Chennai to take the blessings of Shilpa's spiritual guru Sri Amma.
The Honeymoon: The newly weds are said to be spending a month long Honeymoon at the Atlantis in the Bahamas beginning December. This one sure does take the cake - considering the Hurricane season would be just getting over in the region.
