Bollywood Brides Who Broke Gender Stereotypes At Their Wedding

New Delhi: Fans of newly-married couple Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif are simply loving photos of their wedding being shared every day.

Katrina Kaif took to Instagram this morning to share photos of her sisters walking her down the aisle in a departure from tradition. She dedicated the post to her six sisters, whom she referred to as her “pillars of strength”. The pics show Katrina Kaif making her bridal entry under a “phoolon ki chaadar” held up by her sisters Stephanie, Christine, Natacha, Melissa, Sonia and Isabelle. Traditionally, the “phoolon ki chaadar” is held up by the bride’s brothers.

“Growing up, we sisters always protected each other. They are my pillars of strength and we keep each other grounded… May it always stay that way!” Katrina Kaif wrote while sharing photos of her bridal entry.

Not long before, in another high-profile Bollywood wedding, Patralekhaa applied sindoor (vermilion) on Rajkummar Rao’s forehead during their wedding.

Before that, actress Dia Mirza chose not to follow the Kanyadaan and Bidaai rituals when she married businessman Vaibhav Rekhi on February 15. What is more, she chose to have a woman priest conduct the rituals and solemnise the wedding.
