The city of Jaipur is currently captivated by the buzz of impending nuptials amid its historic grandeur, as actress Meera Chopra, relative of the global icon Priyanka Chopra, prepares to exchange vows with Rakshit Kejriwal, a noted businessman. The city’s grandiose charm is set to embrace the union of Meera and Rakshit, making it a high-profile event to remember. As the wedding rituals commenced today with a traditional mehendi ceremony, a snapshot capturing the intricate henna design on Meera’s palms has become a sensation across digital media.
The mehendi, a quintessential pre-wedding ritual celebrated for its cultural significance and aesthetic appeal, featured an astonishing design that included the auspicious ‘Shiv and Parvati mantras,’ skillfully woven around the initials of the groom-to-be, Rakshit Kejriwal. The artistic representation of these mantras pays homage to the sanctity of the matrimonial bond and highlights the couple’s reverence for their spiritual beliefs.
Meera Chopra, whose credits include the recent film ‘Safed,’ directed by Sandeep Singh, is set to become the cynosure of all eyes as she makes her bridal entry in a resplendent creation by the illustrious designer Sabyasachi—synonymous with luxury and sophistication in Indian bridal wear. The designer’s ensembles are known for their rich embroidery and traditional weaves, meticulously crafted to accentuate the bride’s personality and preferences.
The star-studded celebrations are taking place at the scenic Buena Vista Luxury Garden Spa Resort, which has been meticulously prepared to host the galaxy of events that comprise an Indian wedding. Today’s festivities opened with the mehendi ceremony at 5 pm and continued with an evening filled with music and merriment during the sangeet and cocktail ceremonies.
Jaipur’s serene ambiance will further be ignited tomorrow with the vibrancy of the wedding rituals. The day will dawn with the haldi ceremony at 10 am, which is followed by the couple taking the sacred saat pheras at 4.30 pm, a series of seven vows that form the crux of the Hindu wedding ceremony. The celebrations will culminate with an opulent reception at 9 pm.
Amid the revelries, speculation swirls about the attendance of Meera’s cousins, Priyanka and Parineeti Chopra. In candid disclosures, Meera has opened up about the dynamics within the Chopra clan, noting the lack of professional support and personal distance marking her relations with her celebrity cousins. While she has shared that she maintains a strong bond with Priyanka’s side of the family, attending Priyanka’s wedding, her relationship with Parineeti seems to be comparatively more restrained due to long-standing family matters, to the extent that Meera was absent from Parineeti’s own wedding in September 2023.
The fate of the sisters’ attendance at Meera’s wedding remains uncertain, but what remains clear is the joy and love that surround Meera and Rakshit on their special journey to becoming life partners. The wedding is not only a union of two hearts but also an exemplar of India’s rich wedding traditions, brought to life amidst the grandeur of Jaipur’s royal backdrop.
As the dawning of the wedding day approaches, we wish the couple a lifetime of joy and togetherness and wait with bated breath for the festivities to unfold in all their glory.
