*So here is the day*

Shimara Shikhawat is dressed like a traditional Indian bride. Her heavily embroidered "The Manish Malhotra" sari in customary red is neatly pleated, delicately draped and fastened into place. Intricate mehendi designs in an intense maroon decorate her hands and feet, and she is adorned with gold ornaments, from her necklace and nose ring to a headdress and Bangles.

Onlookers watch as she carefully holding her lehanga makes her way to the mandap under which her husband- to - be waits dressed sophistically in a red sherwani with precious embellishments studded into his collars and the cuffs. The screen hiding his face

Her name was officially changed to Shimara Sanam Puri.

Her left life changed forever.
