Soha Ali Khan, Kunal Kemmu’s beautiful at-home wedding video resurfaces: ‘When marriage used to be simple’

Soha Ali Khan is being praised for opting for a simple and elegant wedding despite 'being from a royal family'. She married Kunal Kemmu in 2015.

After Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding celebrations made news the world over, an old video from actors Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu’s intimate wedding is doing the rounds on social media. After months of extravagant pre-wedding celebrations, Anant, the son of India’s richest man Mukesh Ambani, tied the knot with Radhika before thousands of guests on Friday.

The lavish Ambani wedding was very different from Soha and Kunal Kemmu's fuss-free 2015 ceremony, and many on social media appreciated the couple for 'choosing simplicity' in the times of big, fat Indian weddings.

In 2014, Soha announced her engagement with Kunal on social media, saying, “It gives me great happiness to share with you all that Kunal proposed to me in Paris with the most perfect ring in the world and I said yes.” They are parents to adorable six-year-old daughter Inaaya Naumi Kemmu.

But despite her royal lineage, Soha skipped a lavish celebration in favour of an intimate ceremony back in January 25, 2015. The couple’s path down the aisle was beautiful, but intimate.

'It's all about choices'

In a throwback video from the wedding, Kunal and his family were seen with the bride on her big day. The video captured the actors holding hands, stealing glances at each other as they tied the knot. Sharing it on Instagram, a fan page said, "When marriage used to be simple... just family and friends."

A comment read, "Being from a royal family, she (Soha) kept simplicity and elegance intact. This is beauty." Another wrote, "People are born with class, money cannot buy class." A comment also read, "It's all about choices..."

Soha is the daughter of actor Sharmila Tagore and late husband-cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan, also known as Tiger Pataudi. She belongs to the family of the erstwhile nawabs of the former princely state of Pataudi, from which Soha, Saif and the their sister Saba, take their name.
