What unfolded in Banaras on the night of June 24 quickly set social media buzzing. India's star fast bowler Akash Deep and Akshita Raj became partners for life, and the moment the first glimpses of this dreamy wedding surfaced, fans rushed to catch every frame. The couple looked striking through every function, but it was their regal looks on the main wedding day that truly stole the show. Once they hit the internet, the pictures began trending fast.
A Deep Red Choice in a Pastel Era
Pastel and nude shade lehengas are the rage right now, from Bollywood to cricketing circles. Akshita Raj went the other way, trusting a timeless classic for the biggest day of her life. She appeared in a gorgeous traditional lehenga in royal red, a colour that became her statement choice.
The Detailing and Vintage Bridal Grace
Akshita's heavily worked lehenga carried intricate gold zari and gota-patti craftsmanship. She draped one heavy dupatta neatly over her shoulder, while a second was placed over her head. The wide border of the head dupatta lifted the glow on her face even further, lending her a perfect vintage bridal grace.
Polki, Kundan and Emerald Steal the Spotlight
The biggest finishing touch to the bride's look came from her heavy polki and kundan jewellery. Akshita wore a stunning heavy choker set with green emerald drops along with a matching rani haar. A large nath, a maang tika on her forehead, and rows of red bangles and kaleere completed this royal bridal look.
The Groom's Ivory Statement
The groom's style was just as eye-catching. Complementing his bride's red ensemble beautifully, Akash Deep carried an off-white, ivory shade royal sherwani with subtle threadwork, topped with a matching turban and an elegant dupatta around his neck. In this look, he came across as nothing short of a prince.
A Grand Entry Under a Canopy of Flowers
During Akshita's grand bridal entry beneath a canopy of flowers, the heavy flare of her lehenga and the fine embroidery on her blouse sleeves stood out clearly, making her vintage look feel even richer. As she stood beside Akash Deep on stage, the reflection of the wedding lights made the red ensemble shimmer in an almost magical way, giving her fit and draping style a flawless royal finish.
His Name Written in Her Mehndi
It was not only the main wedding; the buzz of the mehndi ceremony held earlier also dominated social media. For the mehndi function, Akshita's hands carried Akash Deep's name etched in henna. She picked a light and vibrant outfit for the ritual, giving the wedding celebrations a cheerful, colourful start. From the mehndi to the seven pheras, Akshita's simplicity won everyone over.
