Weddings are usually a big deal but if it is a celebrity wedding, one can imagine the madness. There are fans who want to know every single detail about their favourite celebrity and honestly we don’t blame them. Nevertheless, weddings can be monotonous at times but here are our celebs like Katrina Kaif, Rajkummar Rao, Dia Mirza, Yami Gautam and more who have not only given us the reason to rejoice in their love but also gave us a glimpse of how they crushed the typical marriage norms.
Wondering how they challenged the patriarchy? Take a look at some of the amazeballs things they did at their wedding that looked 100 times more beautiful.
1. Niyati Joshi: A daughter of veteran star Dilip Joshi who is popularly known as Jethalal from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah made a bold choice at her wedding. For her marriage, she didn’t hide her flaws but in fact, chose to embrace them with utmost confidence. By doing so, she also crushed the basic bridal stereotype and flaunted her grey hair with elan. Niyati’s flaw was her part of the life that only amplified her beauty. More power to you!

2. Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal: Where do we begin?! She has crushed quite a few stereotypes of being a perfect bride to Vicky Kaushal. Right from getting married to a man who is younger than her to marrying a man who is not as established as Katrina, the Tiger 3 is the woman of this era! However, during her wedding, the phoolon ki chaddar ritual was conducted by her 6 sisters which is particularly done by the male members of the family. Now, way to go, girl!

3. Patralekhaa and Rajkummar Rao: This was one of the sweetest weddings of Bollywood. Not sure how many have seen their wedding video but Rajkummar asks his wife to apply vermillion (sindoor) on his forehead as well. It speaks about equality and more importantly tells us that marriage is a union of two souls which means everything will be divided equally between the two. Aren’t they adorable?

4. Dia Mirza and Vaibhav Rekhi: Have you ever seen a woman priest performing a wedding? It’s so rare to find that. Well, Dia managed to make it happen at her own marriage. For the wedding, she chose to have a female pandit instead of a regular pandit. She even made a post on the same where an excerpt of her note read, “The highest point for us was the Vedic ceremony conducted by a woman priest! I had never seen a woman performing a wedding ceremony until I attended my childhood friend Ananya’s wedding a few years ago. Ananya’s wedding gift to Vaibhav and me was to bring Sheela Atta who is her aunt and also a priestess, to perform the ceremony for us.” Now, that’s how to crush the patriarchy!

5. Yami Gautam and Aditya Dhar: When it comes to Bollywood weddings, obviously one think that they will be donning some ace designer’s outfits. They go all out and about with wedding outfits and are often spotted wearing heavy ensembles for their D-Day. However, unlike other couples, this couple decided to keep their outfits simple just like their wedding. Opting for heirloom saree and sherwani, Yami and Aditya have redefined the phrase ‘simplicity at its best’.

6. Angira Dhar and Anand Tiwari: Don’t know about you guys but it’s actually very sweet to see your man getting a little teary-eyed on your bidaai. And Angira has rightly said that “You know you are in the right hands when it’s not you who’s tearing up at the विदाई” Anand, you stole our heart!
