Pakistani actress Mahira Khan, who recently tied the knot with businessman Salim Karim, shared a series of dreamy pictures from her pre-wedding celebrations on Instagram. The couple got married earlier this week at the Pearl-Continental Hotel Bhurban in Pakistan, surrounded by family and close friends.
Mahira wore a fresh, dewy look for the day ceremony, dressed in an ivory Hyderabadi jora by Umar Sayeed Couture. ‘I took a bud of the motia and put it in my baali… for my Nani and Dadi,’ she wrote in the post.
‘My mother had one wish… to start the wedding with a dua,’ wrote Mahira in the caption. She also added how her mother, who is wheelchair-bound, supervised the decorations for the ceremony.
At the Mayun, one of the pre-wedding ceremonies held later in the day, Mahira sported a pale orange anarkali with a green border and gold embroidery.
The actress wore a set of green bangles as she held the pallu over her head during the ceremony.
The Mayun ceremony was planned by her childhood girlfriends whom Mahira calls ‘my sisters’.
