Ira Khan, the daughter of renowned Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, celebrated her union with her longtime boyfriend, fitness trainer Nupur Shikhare, in a joyous ceremony at Taj Lands End, Mumbai, on January 3.
However, this wedding was the the most unapologetically non-Bollywood way possible. Read on to find out why!
Exhibit A
Hold your Bollywood stereotypes because Ira Khan and Nupur Shikare just threw a wedding that shattered every cliché in the book. No pastels, no blinding jewellery, and guess what? The bride ditched bangles for a watch! Because who needs a jingling wrist when you can check the time, right? But wait, there’s more! Sunset photoshoot? Nah, they said. Let’s trade that for a wedding that doesn’t need the golden hour to shine!
And brace yourself, the groom strutted down the aisle in gym clothes. Yup, you heard it right – gym clothes at a wedding! That’s not all Nupur Shikare just threw a fitness challenge into the wedding game! This fitness maestro jogged his way to the altar, covering a solid 8 km to say “I do” to Ira Khan. Who needs a fancy car when you can break a sweat and make an entrance simultaneously, right?
An Ode To Their Love Story
In the midst of the 2020 lockdown, Ira Khan made a dynamic move, setting up camp at her father’s house. Little did she know, amidst dumbbells and treadmills, she’d cross paths with fitness maestro Nupur Shikhare, who was busy training Aamir Khan.
But the fitness-themed romance didn’t end there because the Ironman Trailathon in Italy wasn’t just a race for Nupur; it was the race to Ira’s heart. He sealed the deal by proposing in his running clothes! Talk about a sporty love affair – from home workouts to a marathon proposal, this couple just redefined relationship goals!
However, for the reception, Nupur decided to switch gears and donned a classic sherwani, giving the gym clothes a well-deserved rest!
