In a romantic cinematic setting, delicately positioned against the poetic backdrop of Goa’s beaches, actress Rakul Preet Singh and film producer Jackky Bhagnani exchanged vows in a wedding that seemed to leap right out of a fairytale. The couple recently took to social media to share an enchanting teaser video, offering a peek into their dreamy nuptials—from the vibrant haldi and mehendi ceremonies to the magical sunset wedding.
The air was thick with anticipation as Rakul Preet Singh, bedecked in a breathtaking bridal lehenga, made her way down the aisle, her steps light and lively as she danced toward her eagerly waiting groom. Jackky Bhagnani’s eyes sparkled with delight upon beholding the radiant bride approaching the mandap where he stood, a testament to their joyous union.
The video montage captures the spirit and merriment of the celebrations, surrounded by dear friends and family, the couple basking in the glow of their happiest moments. From the intimate haldi ritual, which swathes the couple in the golden hues of turmeric, to the mehendi ceremony, where artistic designs are adorned upon the bride’s hands, each tradition is steeped in culture and significance, marking the start of their intertwined journey.
A poignant highlight of the festivities was the musical gift from Jackky to his new wife Rakul—a love ballad titled ‘Bin Tere’. Crafted with their shared history in mind, ‘Bin Tere’ encapsulates the depth of Jackky’s adoration for Rakul. The melodic score created by Tanishk Bagchi, with the haunting lyrics penned by Mayur Puri, is brought to life by the talents of Zahrah Khan and Romy. This sentimental serenade not only resonated through the ceremony but will also find its lasting place within the wedding video that chronicles their love story.
The couple’s attire for the day was nothing short of stunning. Rakul Preet Singh’s wedding outfit, designed by the celebrated Tarun Tahiliani, featured a hand-embroidered lehenga adorned with 3D floral patterns. Blooming in tones of ivory and blush, the lehenga was complemented by sheer tulle sleeves embellished with pearls and crystals. A cascading tulle veil, graced with stars and Swarovski crystals, added to the fantastical ambiance.
Meanwhile, Jackky Bhagnani looked every bit the dashing groom in a Tahiliani ivory chikankari sherwani, meticulously embroidered with the ‘chinar’ leaf motif—a six-month labor of love dedicated to capturing the essence of Kashmir’s cultural beauty. The meticulous handiwork, the pleated stole, and zardozi embroidery—each detail spoke volumes about the designer’s reverence for traditional artistry.
The union of Rakul and Jackky even drew the attention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who extended his heartfelt congratulations to the couple, underlining the significance of their auspicious day. In a letter addressed to Jackky’s parents, Vashu and Pooja Bhagnani, PM Modi underscored the essence of companionship, remarking on the journey of mutual discovery and the beauty of embracing one another’s imperfections. The Prime Minister’s warm wishes conveyed a message of unity, harmony, and support for Rakul and Jackky as they embark on life’s voyage together.
The sentiment of love was vividly present during every ritual, every celebration, and in every quiet moment of the wedding festivities. Rakul and Jackky’s Goa nuptials not only celebrated the harmony of two souls but also marked the coming together of two families, cultures, and traditions, all woven into a tapestry of love that will be remembered for a lifetime.
