Photo: Dipika Kakar looks ethereal and stunningly beautiful as a bride

Dipika Kakar is all ready and set to tie the knot with Shoaib Ibrahim today in Maudaha, a town close to Lucknow. 

Dipika and Shoaib will be having a nikaah and will later host a grand reception in Mumbai for industry friends. 

We got our hands on the first pictures of Dipika as a bride and trust us when we say, she looks stunningly beautiful. 

Dipika is seen wearing a pink sharara for her wedding that has gota pati work on it and she paired it with emerald kundan necklace, mangtikka, chapka and nose ring. She wore her hair in waves and fresh face of makeup with pink lips.

Doesn't she look beautiful? We are sure Shoaib will be left smitten looking at his bride. 

Meanwhile, a source close to the couple informed a leading daily that Dipika and Shoaib wanted a lavish wedding later this year but their families wanted to advance the wedding. 

“Dipika and Shoaib were originally planning a lavish wedding sometime later this year in Jaipur. However, their families wanted to advance the plan and a date was finalised upon just 20 days ago. The families also decided to solemnise the nikah in the same house where Shoaib’s parents got married decades ago. Shoaib is returning to his hometown after almost 10 years and his relatives are excited to have him and Dipika with them," the source said. 

Shoaib and Dipika met on the sets of Sasural Simar Ka and have been dating for around five years before getting married today. 

The two exuded happiness in their pre-wedding festivities including sangeet, mehendi and haldi which was as filmy as them. Dipika and Shoaib had boarded a train to their hometown giving us a strong reminiscence of DDLJ. 

We can't wait to get our hands on their first picture post marriage!
