Star Indian shuttlers Saina Nehwal and Parupalli Kashyap, who got married at a private ceremony on Friday, hosted a grand reception on Sunday in Hyderabad. The event was graced by several bigwigs of the sports and entertainment worlds.
The beautiful couple chose colour-coordinated and traditional outfits from celebrity designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee for the special night.
Badminton queen Saina looked stunning in an indigo velvet lehenga crafted by Sabyasachi Mukherjee. According to the designer, the lehenga was embroidered with zardosi, applique, pearls and crystals with Burmese rubies, uncut diamonds and emralds.
Meanwhile, Kashyap was wearing a quilted indigo sherwani in hand-dyed Murshidabad silk which was studded with hand-crafted Bengal tiger buttons.
Here are some of the pictures from the gala event.
IndiaTV Chairman and Editor-in-Chief Rajat Sharma also graced the event and posted some pictures on his official Twitter page.
Their wedding took place at Saina's residence in Orion villas at Raidurgam in Cyberabad.
The guests included Governor of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana ESL Narasimhan, according to Singh. Saina posted a photograph with Kashyap on Friday announcing her marriage. "Best match of my life...#justmarried," she wrote in twitter.
While Saina wore a powder blue lehenga and minimal makeup and jewellery, Kashyap was dressed in a pink kurta and white pyjamas.
Saina and Kashyap, who met at Pullela Gopichand's academy, were in a relationship for quite some time now. But the couple never came out in the open regarding their relation.
Saina had confirmed the news of their wedding in October but the hectic international badminton schedule kept them busy. Last month, they started extending their wedding invitation to important personalties, including Telangana MLA KT Rama Rao, film star Chiranjeevi, owner of Hyderabad Hunters (PBL franchise) VRK Rao.
