The Love Story

Even though Siddharth Roy Kapoor and Vidya Balan have been open to the media about their relationship. But they have never discussed about their love story. Vidya Balan mentioned that Siddharth is a shy individual who wishes to keep their love story under wraps. But if speculations are to be believed, then Kapoor and Balan had known each other a long time, even before she started working in films. It was their friendship that turned into love over a period of time.

The Wedding

UTV Head Siddharth Roy Kapoor and sultry actress Vidya Balan got married within a mix of Punjabi and South Indian traditions. Initially, the wedding ceremony was organized in a temple. The rest of wedding rituals were conducted in a well decorated Green Mile Bungalow in Mumbai’s Bandra region. The actress is said to have gone under three changes in her costume during the ceremony. Picky Vidya also decided upon her gold jewelry. The wedding, which was held on December 14th, 2012 was a private affair, followed by a grand reception.

Strictly South for Vidya

Vidya Balan, an adherent lover of saris went with 18 saris, each designed by her favorite designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee for wedding and pre-wedding rituals. Of these, two saris were specifically designed for the wedding ceremony. All saris were designed in Madras Silk, Vidya Balan’s favorite clothing item with elaborate detailing. These saris were devoid of usual heavy and flashy designs found on Indian Lehengas and wedding dresses because the wedding was to be held in the morning in accordance to Tamil Traditions. Wedding attire was strictly South for Vidya.

Before the wedding ceremony, Vidya wore a yellow colored South Indian style sari in Madras Silk. The sari featured an intricate inlay of Tamil designs and motifs, which accentuated Balan’s Indian features. To contrast the bright yellow base of the sari, Vidya went with a red and purple colored border to appear as charismatic as ever. A puffed blouse gave it a refreshing, personalized feel. Fresh floral and gold jewelry was worn.

The actress looked beautiful on her D-Day with a sari that accentuated her features and curvaceous figure. Golden border and motifs on the sari with elaborate detail on the Pallu gave the sari a very sophisticated appearance.

For accessorizing, Vidya ordered a special team of artisans to create ten customized gold jewels. Each of these jewels were hand crafted and had embellishments with traditional Kerala style motifs.

His fair complexion and broad shoulders were emphasized by a yellow colored Kurta, which featured white color embroidery on the neck, collar and sleeves. The producer’s simple looks were actually quite classy and sophisticated.

Truly, this was a wedding that transcended cultures, regions and religions, amalgamating the best from North and South India.
