Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav has tied the knot with longtime partner Vanshika Chadha in a grand ceremony held in the scenic hill town of Mussoorie, Uttarakhand.
The wedding comes shortly after Kuldeep was part of India’s victorious campaign in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, making it a particularly special time in his life.
The ceremony took place at The Savoy Hotel Mussoorie, where family members, close friends and several personalities from the cricketing world gathered to celebrate the occasion.
In the days leading up to the wedding, traditional pre-wedding ceremonies such as haldi, mehendi and sangeet were held, with pictures and videos from the celebrations quickly circulating on social media.
After the wedding ceremony in Mussoorie, the couple is expected to host a grand reception in Lucknow on March 17. The reception is likely to be attended by several prominent names from cricket, politics and business.
Here are a few viral clips and photos from the event:
Many current and former members of the India national cricket team were invited to the celebrations.
According to reports, the guest list included stars like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Sunil Gavaskar, Rinku Singh, Tilak Varma, Suresh Raina, Mohammad Kaif and Piyush Chawla.
Close friend and fellow spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who arrived in Dehradun for the wedding, shared his excitement about the celebrations.
