Highlights

  • The wedding of the year was flagged off with a private sangeet attended by family and a select band of Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s celebrity friends.

  • Malaika's sister and Kareena's best friend Amrita Arora, who is expecting a second baby, came with husband Shakeel Ladak
  • And while a source says it's a sangeet ceremony, designer Manish Malhotra said: "It’s just a fun party." That could just be reticience on the part of the famous couple’s famous friends, who have helped keep wedding details, including the wedding date, a closely guarded secret.
  • Manish Malhotra has designed Kareena's wedding trousseau and refurbished the traditional gharara she will wear for the nikaah
  • The nikaah will reportedly be held on Tuesday and is planned as a quiet affair, with only immediate family members from both sides invited.
