Bollywood actor Aamir Khan’s daughter, Ira Khan, recently tied the knot with her longtime beau and fitness trainer, Nupur Shikhare, in a rather unconventional ceremony. The couple opted for a registered marriage at Taj Lands End, Bandra in Mumbai, departing from the typical grandeur associated with Bollywood weddings. However, it’s not the simplicity of the ceremony that has stirred up the talk of the town but rather the groom’s attire and unique mode of arrival.
In a video that surfaced on social media, Ira Khan and Nupur Shikhare can be seen registering their marriage in the presence of family members. What instantly caught the attention of netizens was the groom’s outfit – a casual vest and shorts ensemble. This departure from traditional wedding attire sparked a flurry of reactions on social media platforms.
Adding to the unconventional charm, Nupur Shikhare, a fitness trainer by profession, reportedly jogged to his wedding venue in Bandra, covering a distance of about 8 kilometers. The videos and photos of the groom in his black vest and shorts, jogging to the wedding, quickly became viral on social media, creating a buzz around the unique entrance.
Social media was abuzz with commentary on the groom’s attire and his choice to jog to the wedding venue. One user humorously referenced a scene from Aamir Khan’s iconic movie, “3 Idiots,” suggesting that Aamir playfully used green chutney on the groom’s sherwani and ironed it with a steam iron in a sarcastic gesture.
Another netizen speculated on the reason behind Nupur Shikhare’s unconventional choice, stating, “Guess why #NupurShikhare the Groom attended his marriage in a jogging vest and shorts. He failed to beat Mumbai traffic, and not to reach the wedding venue late, he ended up jogging to the venue to sign the Nikahnama with #IraKhan.”
The lighthearted and casual approach to the wedding attire resonated with many, with comments ranging from amusement to appreciation for breaking away from the norms. One Instagram user cheekily questioned, “Did he literally just ‘drop by’ after the gym???”
Ira Khan and Nupur Shikhare’s wedding has not only captured attention for their love story but also for the refreshing departure from traditional wedding customs. The couple’s unique choices have sparked conversations about embracing individuality and personal preferences even in the grandeur of Bollywood celebrations. As the images and videos continue to circulate on social media, it’s evident that this unconventional wedding has left an indelible mark on the collective imagination of Bollywood enthusiasts.
