Read below:
“For her Mumbai reception, Anushka wanted to wear old world glamour. And we decided to ‘Jazz’ it up in smoky grey. Hand beaten silver thread, textured sequins and cut organza flowers were assembled on an embroidered tulle base to create an ethereal lehenga.
Award winning master craftsmen from Lucknow rendered her stunning dupatta which was clinched on the waist with our ‘Bengal tiger’ belt.
Anushka’s look was accessorised with a necklace and earrings hand crafted with rose cut diamonds, solitaires and briolettes from the Sabyasachi fine jewelry collection.
And BTW @virat.kohli looks absolutely dapper in a @raghavendra.rathore
We had made a very similar piece and in the confusion of the great Indian wedding the credits got swapped. Mr. Mukherjee is personally a huge fan of the Rathore label and deeply regrets the error. (sic).”
A number of personalities from the sports fraternity too had made their presence felt.
Among the invitees, there were Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Karan Johar, Madhuri Dixit, Sridevi & Boney Kapoor, Sara and Ibrahim Ali Khan, Sidharth Malhotra, Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Neeta Ambani, Shikhar Dhawan, Ravindra Jadeja, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Sakshi, Rohit Sharma, Jaspreet Bumrah, Zaheer Khan and Sagarika Ghatge, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan and several others.
For the unversed, Anushka and Virat tied the nuptial knot in a hush-hush ceremony in Tuscany, Italy on December 11.
