Hyderabad: Lavish preparations have been done for newly wed Sania Mirza’s elaborate ‘mehendi’ ceremony.
The blushing bride Sania Mirza is looking forward to the ceremony, which is an intrinsic ritual of a Muslim wedding.
Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik entered matrimony at a much-hyped ‘nikah’ ceremony yesterday at the Taj Krishna hotel in Hyderabad.
Sania’s spokesperson Richa Naik informed the media outside the Taj Krishna. “Please pray for the couple’s happiness. There is also a mehendi ceremony on Tuesday and sangeet on Wednesday”, she added.
Ironically, the couple made the solemn oath at the same hotel where Sania had got engaged to her childhood friend Sohrab Mirza on July 10 last year amid much fanfare. The tennis ace had called off the engagement on January 28 this year citing `incompatibility`.
At the wedding, Sania was wearing the same red saree, which her mother had worn at her own Nikah 25 years ago. On the other hand, Shoaib was seen wearing a black sherwani designed by renowned designer duo Shantanu and Nikhil.
