Mumbai: Bollywood icon Madhuri Dixit recently shared a touching detail about her wedding to Dr. Shriram Nene, which took place 27 years ago.
The actress revealed that she honored her roots by wearing her grandmother’s traditional blue Nauvari saree for the special occasion.
This personal revelation came during her appearance on the popular quiz show ‘Kon Honar Crorepati’. Madhuri was interacting with Mrunmayee Kitukale, a contestant from Amravati who is soon to be married. Mrunmayee, seeking bridal styling advice, mentioned saving screenshots of Madhuri’s saree looks for inspiration.
As they discussed bridal attire, from traditional bright hues to modern pastels, Madhuri recalled her own wedding day choice. She described her grandmother’s blue Nauvari saree, which she paired with a beautifully embroidered shawl. Emphasizing the importance of personal touch, Madhuri advised, “You should wear what you like, because that day belongs to you and your family. So, it should be your choice.”
Their conversation was prompted by Mrunmayee’s heartfelt gesture of presenting her first wedding invitation to Madhuri. Traditionally, the first invitation is offered to God, but Mrunmayee chose to share this significant moment with the actress, making her a part of her upcoming celebrations.
This interaction follows Madhuri and Dr. Shriram Nene’s recent 27th wedding anniversary. The couple, who married in Beverly Hills, California, in 1999, celebrated the milestone, revisiting cherished memories of their intimate ceremony.
