Kapil Sharma Mumbai reception: Here’s what the newlyweds will be wearing

comedy king Kapil Sharma tied the knot with girlfriend Ginni Chatrath on December 12 in Jalandhar. The couple hosted a grand reception in Amritsar on December 14, which was attended by their family and friends. Kapil’s friends from industry like Bharti Singh, Sumona Chakravarti and Krushna Abhishek who attended his wedding were also there at the reception. While his Amritsar reception had stars from the Punjabi film industry, his Mumbai reception will be studded with Bolly and telly stars.

Kapil and Ginni’s wedding ensemble was designed by Rimple and Harpreet Narula, who are known for their artistic contribution in the form of costumes for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat. And, now they’ve also designed clothes for their reception tonight. The designer duo call the opportunity a pleasure. “There is something about the weddings in Punjab…the sheer bonhomie, joie de vivre and unrestrained joy of celebration, a certain inherent pomp that is unmatched. Punjabi brides, as well as grooms for that matter, have a deep rooted sense of pride and love for the rich cultural heritage of the region, and are keen on imbibing the same in their wedding trousseau. Kapil and Ginni were a pleasure to dress,” Rimple said in a statement.

For their Mumbai reception, Kapil Sharma and Ginni Chatrath asked the designers to come up with a concept that is rich and traditional as well as modern at the same time.

What Kapil Sharma will wear

“For Kapil, we have made a classic black silk bandhgala jacket paired with a pair of slim cut pants. The jacket features tonal resham thread embroidery, used as a painterly homage to depict an artwork of florals and foliage derived from the works of the iconic 19th century British textile designer William Morris. The look will be finished off with a pair of bespoke embroidered shoes,” said Rimple.

What Ginni Chatrath will wear

“Ginni’s reception lehenga will be a lavish ode to an archival 18th century European Chintz textile from our personal collection. The lehenga features a melange of motifs- birds of paradise, blooming lotus blossoms, brimming Vases of Plenty; rendered on tulle using delicate resham aari embroidery, chaawal-tanka stitches,nalki and nakshi, imported sequins,crystals and multi-hued pearls. The lehenga is paired with a sequin encrusted corset and wispy tulle dupatta,” she added.
