Ira Khan, the daughter of Bollywood megastar Aamir Khan, has recently tied the knot with her beau Nupur Shikhare in a grand celebration that captured the hearts of family, friends, and fans alike. Following the fairy-tale register marriage in Mumbai, the lovebirds whisked themselves away to the exotic locale of Bali for their honeymoon, a trip from which they’ve brought back more than just memories.
Amidst the serenity of the island, both Ira and Nupur decided to engrave their beautiful experience permanently onto their skin with island-themed tattoos. Ira chose a depiction of two turtles etched in black and white across her chest—a choice that resonates with the tranquility and longevity that turtles symbolize. In a similar island spirit, Nupur opted for a tattoo of a tortoise adorned on his arm. The couple took to social media to flaunt their new body art, with Ira expressing her awe at her tattoo by commenting, “That’s just mad. I’m going to be staring at it all day long.”
This act of inking their skin serves as a testament to their desire to carry a piece of their island retreat back home—imbuing the permanence of their union with the lasting essence of nature’s beauty.
The warmth of their wedding festivities is still vivid in the minds of those who participated or followed the events. The couple shared an emotional teaser of the Udaipur wedding celebration, unraveling a scene straight from a storybook with mountains standing witness to their exchange of vows. Emotions ran high as Ira made her way down the aisle, hand in hand with her parents, Aamir and Reena Dutta, culminating in a poignant moment that saw Aamir Khan visibly moved. Joining the encounter were also Aamir’s second and ex-wife Kiran Rao, alongside their son, Azad, symbolizing a union of families beyond conventional norms.
The video montage was an intimate peek into the tears and laughter that marked the event, with the caption revealing their delight: “This is only a teaser but neither Ethereal nor us could wait. We wanted to celebrate in the mountains, with the people we love. And we did.” In the background lay the enchanting landscape akin to Tolkien’s Rivendell, a fantastical touch to their real-life romance.
The journey to this fairy-tale culmination began when Nupur, who is also the fitness trainer for both Ira and Aamir, proposed to Ira in 2022. The wedding journey unfolded with traditional pre-wedding ceremonies like the Haldi, held in Mumbai, culminating in a shiny start to their shared journey in life on January 3.
Amid richly adorned backdrops and Bollywood’s glitterati, the Udaipur wedding was more than a ceremony—it was a statement of love, a melding of modernity and traditions, and a familial bond that extended beyond bygones. As friends, family, and celebrities jived to the rhythms of celebration, the dance floor bore witness to a union of hearts and cultures.
The events were a fitting homage to their love story—a tranquil start in Mumbai, a scenic proclamation of vows in Udaipur, and a Balinese getaway to seal their bond. With tattoos as eternal as their promised commitment, Ira and Nupur have etched their love not just on their skin, but into the very narrative of their life stories.
As their honeymoon phase gradually transitions back to daily life, the newlyweds carry with them the indelible mark of their love and the island’s mystique—a reminder that their love, like the timeless ocean, is deep, vast, and enduring.
