Taking Inspiration From Rajkummar Rao And Patralekhaa, Bengal Bride Puts Sindoor On Groom's Forehead
Taking inspiration from Rajkummar Rao And Patralekhaa, this West Bengal bride had put sindoor on groom's forehead, thus inspiring many others to break streotype. They also opted for no Kanyadaan.
Apart from swooning over their fairytale romance and love story, what fans couldn't get over was the fact that Rajkummar Rao prompted Patralekhaa to also put Sindoor on his forehead, and she did just that.

After Rajkummar Rao says, "Tum bhi laga do", Patralekhaa obliges.
Now, this has inspired another couple who got married recently. This bride, Shalini Sen, from West Bengal did exactly the same. She put Sindoor on groom Ankan Majumdar's forehead. The video has been going viral on social media.
As per reports, female priests conducted their marriage. The bride and the groom had also chucked the ritual of 'kanyadan'.
Dia Mirza had also said no to Kanyadaan and Bidaai at her wedding.
"Also, we said NO to ¡®Kanyadaan¡¯ and ¡®Bidaai¡¯ change begins with choice doesn¡¯t it? #GenerationEquality #SunsetkeDiVaNe #ThankYouPreeta Images by @khamkhaphotoartist @sardarsinghvirk The dream team ?", she wrote in an Instagram post.
"The highest point for us was the Vedic ceremony conducted by a woman priest! I had never seen a woman performing a wedding ceremony until I attended my childhood friend Ananya¡¯s wedding a few years ago. Ananya¡¯s wedding gift to Vaibhav and me was to bring Sheela Atta who is her aunt and also a priestess, to perform the ceremony for us. She also painstakingly went through several hours of training to imbibe the essence of the scriptures so that she could assist Sheela Atta and translate the shlokas! It was such a privilege and a joy to be married this way! We do hope with all our heart that many more couples make this choice. For it is a woman's soul that contains love, wonder, benediction, magical energy, tenderness and deep empathy for all that lives. It is time for women to own their own agency, their divinity, their power and to redefine what is old and birth what is new. As Charles Bukowski said, "there is no lie in their fire." So what can be more uplifting and empowering than to see the sacred fire within a woman's heart and soul taking centre stage at a wedding? I am still overwhelmed by the magic of this one moment.," she said.
