No Designer Lehenga, No Lavish Venue: Actor Tina Parekh's Wedding Was All About Family · NDTV

Tina Parekh is an actress who used to be on television.

A long time ago, in 2007, she married a musician named Vikram Hazra.

Instead of a big party with fancy new clothes, her wedding was simple and held at a peaceful place with a spiritual teacher.

Tina did not want to buy anything new to wear.

She wore a beautiful maroon saree that belonged to her sister-in-law.

She also wore bangles from her grandmother, a headpiece from her sister, and earrings from her mother.

Her aunt gave her a red veil to wear on the wedding day.

Tina wanted to feel the blessings of all the strong women she loved.

Recently, she told this sweet story in a video on Instagram.

Even though it happened many years ago, she still remembers it happily.
