Swara Bhaskar dons Pakistani designer Ali Xeeshan’s creation for Valima

Actor thanked the designer for being ‘kind enough’ to send the outfit from across the border

Bollywood actor Swara Bhaskar’s wedding festivities have come to a conclusion with a grand reception. For her Valima in Bareily hosted by her husband Fahad Ahmad’s family, the actor wore a gorgeous pastel-hued lehenga by ace Pakistani designer Ali Xeeshan.

Sharing a “sneak peak” of her reception outfit, Bhaskar took to her Instagram Story to give a shoutout to the designer’s “stunning” creation. “A sneak peek into the stunning Ali Xeeshan’s Theatre Studio lehenga set that they kindly made and sent to me all the way across the border!” she wrote and added a red heart.

Bhaskar added that she’ll share details on the outfit soon, but from the looks of it, the heavily embroidered lehenga choli features large floral motifs, arches and pearls throughout. While the lehenga is gold with turquoise and pearl work, the dupatta is of a contrasting pastel blue with hints of pink and green floral work with broad gold lace on the border.

The actor paired the outfit with a gold and turquoise jewellery set that includes jhumkas, layered choker and maang tika. She tied her hair up in a neat bun and kept her makeup minimal with light pink blush and a nude lip.

Bhaskar and Ahmad tied the knot in February in court and went on to host a grand wedding reception on March 16 in Delhi. Bhaskar looked like a vision to behold in a heavily-embroidered, bright pink lehenga with distinguished mirror work. She paired her traditional ensemble with stone-encrusted, diamond jewellery, statement earrings, and bangles, clubbed with a striking maang tika.

Fahad, on the other hand, looked dapper in a golden-white sherwani, paired with white pyjamas. The duo welcomed their honorary guests and posed for pictures together, walking hand-in-hand.
