Starting with a New Orleans-style jazz night in Mumbai and winding up at a palace reception in Gwalior, the nuptials of erstwhile royalty KRUTIKA KARTIKEYA GHORPADE and AKSHAY BHANSALI were a coming together of tradition and modernity. SHAHNAZ SIGANPORIA sneaks a peek
In 1946, when Princess Prem Kumari of Jaipur married the last ruler of Baria, Maharawal Jaideep Singhji, the stateliness of their lavish wedding lured legendary photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson to capture it for posterity. Two years later, LIFE magazine covered the grandeur of Princess Rajendra Kanwar of Jodhpur and Maharaja Fatehsinghrao Gaekwad of Baroda’s nuptials. And more recently, in 2011, Will and Kate’s wedding became one of the most-watched TV programmes in recent history. World over, there is a shared voyeurism in experiencing the big fat royal wedding. But have the modern titular royals moved on from these relics of monarchy? Spanning five cities and over 10 days, the Gatsbyesque wedding of erstwhile royals Krutika Kartikeya Ghorpade and Akshay Bhansali revelled in the way things were even as they celebrated their today.
