Shikhar Dhawan and Sophie Shine are next in line to get into wedlock. After dancing their hearts out at their Sangeet, the couple spread happiness at their other pre-wedding festivities. The bride-to-be shared stunning pictures from their Mehendi, Haldi, and Choora ceremony. Take a look!
Shikhar Dhawan and Sophie Shine’s pre-wedding festivities
Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan and his Irish girlfriend, Sophie Shine, are all set to get married over the weekend. The couple’s pre-wedding festivities kick-started with a sangeet ceremony, glimpses of which were shared on social media. Soon after, the bride-to-be dropped stunning pictures from her mehendi ceremony.
Even though Sophie is Irish, her heart is in India, and she has adopted Indian culture wholeheartedly. This is probably why she opted for traditional full-hand Mehendi and didn’t succumb to the ongoing minimal mehendi design trend.
Decked in hues of orange and yellow, the Irish corporate professional bloomed like sunflowers at their floral haldi event. Following the traditions of her fiancé’s family, Sophie also wore the auspicious choora and kaleeras, which are important for North Indian brides. Sharing the glimpses with her husband-to-be, she wrote, “So much happiness.”
