Bollywood’s freshly minted couple, Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani, have taken to social media to share their joy and colorful moments from their very first Holi celebration together as a wedded pair. An endearing video compilation, which they posted on Instagram, is filled with a variety of snapshots and snippets capturing them joyfully smearing each other with vibrant Holi powders.
The montage showcases the couple exchanging warm smiles and embracing, encapsulating the spirit of the festival. Alongside the video, Rakul penned a heartfelt message to her followers, saying, “We wish all the negativity around you goes away!! Only love and joy prevail. Happppy holi from us to you,” expressing a wish for positivity and joy for everyone during the festival.
Rakul further reflected on this festive occasion in an interview with Hindustan Times. “We haven’t played Holi together before this. This shoot is the first time we have applied color to each other. The firsts are always special. I think life is going to be a celebration,” she remarked. She went on to describe the past festivities where Jackky’s absence due to his commitments in London and busy shooting schedule for ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ led her to celebrate with friends instead.
Coming off a beautiful and intimate wedding that culminated in dual ceremonies embodying both Sikh and Sindhi traditions, the couple exhibited traditional elegance. Tying the knot in the scenic state of Goa on February 21, both bride and groom chose to don attire crafted by the renowned designer Tarun Tahiliani. Rakul was adorned in a striking pink peach lehenga complemented by substantial diamond jewelry, while Jackky presented in a sophisticated ivory chikankari sherwani accented with the delicate ‘chinar’ leaf motif.
Their matrimonial occasion was a close-knit celebration with attendance limited to family members and intimate friends. The wedding still boasted a glamorous guest list, with stars such as Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Shilpa Shetty, Arjun Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, and Esha Deol among the luminaries gracing the event with their presence, embracing and cheering the couple on as they embark on their new journey together.
The couple, who made their relationship public through a romantic Instagram reveal back in October 2021, have since been in the limelight, adored by fans and media alike for their relationship dynamics and collaboration.
On the professional spectrum, Rakul is prepping for her appearance in the anticipated sequel ‘Indian 2,’ which also stars the celebrated Kamal Haasan. The movie, a follow-up to the 1996 original, will feature her alongside other prominent actors such as Bobby Simhaa and Priya Bhavani Shankar.
Jackky, conversely, is looking forward to the release of his latest production venture, ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’. Under the direction of Ali Abbas Zafar, this star-studded film promises to captivate audiences with performances by Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Sonakshi Sinha, and Prithviraj Sukumaran. Fans are eagerly awaiting its premiere on the Eid of 2024, which is already creating a buzz in Bollywood circles.
The couple’s shared Holi festivities, captured in candid photos and the affection they display for one another, are a testament to their love and the new life they have begun together. As they navigate the realms of Bollywood, both professionally and as a united pair, Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani are setting couple goals while also making strides in their respective careers.
