Everybody was coming and going while I was getting my hair and makeup done. Friends are chilling in the wardrobe, decor is going on, the food is being set up. So it was literally like an open house and that’s how I wanted my D-Day to be like. It felt so homely and beautiful. It was perfect.”
Not only was Sonakshi’s wedding a simple affair but she also ditched an elaborate lehenga for elegant sarees. For her wedding, Sonakshi opted to wear her mother’s vintage Chikankari saree and then changed into a red Banarasi number for the reception.
“I dressed simply because I wanted to be comfortable and I wanted to dance the most at my wedding, which I did,” she said.
