Bollywood siren Shilpa Shetty and her billionaire husband Raj Kundra's wedding ceremony may have lacked star power, but their lavish reception held in Mumbai on Tuesday night more than made up for it.
Dozens of Bollywood A-listers, including Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukherjee, Hrithik Roshan, Rekha and Kangana Ranaut turned up in full throttle to celebrate with the newlyweds.
Looking resplendent in a strapless golden Tarun Tahiliani creation with a diamond and ruby encrusted choker, the visibly-ecstatic couple played up to the press galleries with panache.
For the reception, Shetty had shed her conservative sari and traditional jewellery — only to swap it for a more daring, albeit glittering outfit. The Bachchans, who will be living next door to Shetty after she moves into her new home in Mumbai with Kundra, were at their neighbourly best as they congratulated the newly-wedded couple. Incidentally, the Shetty nuptial, touted as the wedding of the decade, was a contrast to the closely-guarded Aishwarya-Abhishek wedding.
The majority of the stars such as the Khans and Roshans attended the reception with their better halves in tow. Gauri Khan (SRK's wife) and Suzzanne Khan (Roshan's wife) presented a blissful portrait as they clung to their dashing husbands.
The reception party went on till the early hours of the morning.
