Actress Malvika Raaj got married to her beau Pranav Bagga in an intimate ceremony at The Westin in Goa in November 2023.
Little Poo is all grown up! The Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham star, Malvika Raaj, exchanged vows with her long-time beau, entrepreneur Pranav Bagga, in a heartwarming celebration surrounded by close friends and family. The two-day festivities, hosting over 250 guests, including the bride’s aunt, actress Anita Raaj, began with the vibrant ceremonies of haldi and mehendi, leading up to the wedding.
Celebrations continued with the sangeet, pool party and after-party. Reflecting on the celebration, the radiant bride shared, “We started our functions with the wedding ceremony, making the rest of the events a breeze to enjoy.”
Breaking away from tradition, Malvika opted for a pink theme for her haldi, steering clear of the conventional yellow associated with the ceremony. The entire setting, including the décor, food, outfits, and even the haldi, was infused with shades of pink.
The mehendi ceremony embraced an underwater theme and the bride, adorned in an outfit crafted by her sister Sonaakshi, showcased fish, seahorses and corals in the design, while her hair was styled with starfish and pearl detailing.
Seated on an oyster throne, Malvika incorporated a copy of Pranav’s Shiva tattoo into her mehendi; the couple even included their sun signs Leo and Virgo in the design.
The rooftop wedding overlooking coconut groves followed the theme ‘Garden of Love’, creating a truly special atmosphere. A chrome aisle adorned with pastel flowers on either end led to a chrome mandap. Malvika shared, “Everyone wore shades of ivory, and Pranav and I wore gold,” says the bride, revealing that the couple’s attire was curated by Pawan and Pranav.
The kaleeras were customised with the couple’s initials, the name of their puppy Mieko (who made an entrance before the bride in a remote-controlled car), the number 29, and birds and butterflies.
After the formal ceremony concluded, it was time for guests—and the happy couple—to let their hair down. The post-wedding sangeet was a Sufi night with the highlight being Bismil performing with high energy. Guests rocked the black matte chrome dance floor, knocking back drinks from a Long Island bar with ‘Drunk in Love’ embossed in bold.
The celebrations concluded with a sneaker-themed after-party featuring a holographic act by DJ AJ, playing techno/house music. “We wanted everyone to enjoy the finale and dance their night in comfort,” says the bride.
The joyous couple, who have been together for 10 years, eagerly anticipates a lifetime together. “It’s the best feeling to marry your soulmate,” expresses an elated Malvika.
