The upcoming nuptials of Ira Khan and her fiancé Nupur Shikhare promise to be a grand affair reflecting the warmth and exuberance of Indian celebrations. Bollywood’s iconic actor Aamir Khan and his first wife Reena Dutt’s daughter Ira Khan have slated to walk down the aisle on January 3, 2024, as per the recent buzz in the entertainment industry. Aamir Khan, a stalwart in Indian cinema, and his family are often in the limelight, and this joyous occasion is no exception, with the social media buzz already painting a picture of the festivities leading up to the big day.
The pre-wedding functions have officially commenced with a delightful Maharashtrian feast, as seen in a video shared by Ira Khan on Instagram stories last December 26. Amidst the close-knit gathering, one could spot Aamir Khan’s former spouse, Kiran Rao, clad in an elegant off-white attire, their son Azad Rao Khan, and the ‘Little Things’ actor, Mithila Palkar, all indulging in the traditional cuisine.
The charm of the feast, known as Kelvan, a quintessential Maharashtrian pre-wedding celebration, was palpable even through social media, as Ira exclaimed, “My God, guys, get married to a Maharashtrian and get a Kelvan. How fun is this?” The bride-to-be was decked in a striking red saree paired with a gleaming golden sequined blouse, which was complemented by classic golden jhumkas and a traditional bindi adorning her forehead.
The joyous gathering also saw Mithila Palkar sharing a heartwarming picture with the couple, captioning it, “Let’s get you guys married,” giving fans and well-wishers a glimpse into the cheerful pre-wedding vibes.
The love story of Ira and Nupur is no less than fairy-tale. It took a romantic turn in October 2022 when Nupur, in a grand gesture at a cycling event, got down on one knee, ring in hand, and asked the life-altering question, “Will you marry me?” Her affirmative response was met with cheers and applause from onlookers, and the couple sealed this chapter with a kiss. This proposal was adorably shared on social media, accompanied by the words, “Popeye: She said yes. Ira: Hehe. I said yes.”
Their engagement soon followed on November 18, witnessed by a close-knit circle that included Imran Khan, Aamir’s ex-wives, Reena Dutta, Kiran Rao, and actress Fatima Sana Shaikh. The joy within the Khan family was unmistakable, as the engaged couple basked in the warmth of the wedding anticipation.
Aamir Khan’s personal life has created its niche narrative apart from his cinematic legacy. Married on December 28, 2005, to filmmaker Kiran Rao, the couple was blessed with a son, Azad, through surrogacy in 2011. Aamir’s marriage to Reena Dutta that ended in 2002, had graced them with two children, daughter Ira and son Junaid, who have now grown to take their steps in the world, with Ira heading towards marital bliss.
The path leading to Ira Khan and Nupur Shikhare’s wedding day underscores an amalgamation of cherished traditions, familial bonds, and the modern-day love story that has captured the hearts of many. The prelude to their union, mirrored in the festivities and shared moments, is a celebration not just of their love, but also the rich culture that surrounds them. With several days left before Ira and Nupur exchange their vows, the merriment has already set a tone of happiness and cultural tribute that is likely to resonate through their upcoming wedding ceremony. As family, friends, and admirers await the dawning of January 3, the couple’s journey hitherto promises a beautiful commencement to their married life.
