WEDDING OF THE SEASON

THE STORY OF BIG STONES

We're not saying that women often speak through accessories, especially their jewellery. But that is precisely what we're saying.

THE DILIGENT BEAUTY Elli AvrRam

A Stockholm girl with a bag of dreams leaves her beloved country to travel 4,000 miles into the world of her dreams. Filmy as it sounds, Elli AvrRam (EA) came to the city of glamour with arms full of talent and belief that nothing could stop her. In an exclusive conversation with Wedding Affair, our cover girl speaks about her past, present and future, and the how one foreign girl Indian at soul found place in Bollywood with her perseverance.

DECODING KUNDLI DOSHAS

Kundli, or the birth chart, is a person's horoscope based on the astrological diagram and is used to study a person and predict their future. It is a common practice in Indian households to match the Kundlis and identify doshas of the bridegroom before marriage. If by any chance, there is a dosha, many families refuse to move forward with the matrimony.

THE DREAM COUPLE

Bonds develop over a period of time, but their true essence lasts beyond a lifetime. Such is the tale of Bollywood's He-Man Dharmendra Deol (DD) and Dream Girl Hema Malini (HM). Poetically if nothing lasts forever, their union is something like nothing. The two have been together for more than four decades, and their eternal love story still smells like fresh roses plucked out of a cupid's garden.

PAINTING A VIBGYOR

The magnetic energies of rainbows have enchanted us for ages. The incredible power of coloured precious stones simply transports our souls into peace and elation. English novelist George Eliot once said, "These gems have life in them: their colours speak, say what words fail". Jewellery with colours is a celebration of refined beauty and gentility with the fervour of feminism.
