As a matter of fact, when this Bollywood’s grace queen, Aditi Rao Hydari, and the ever-cute Siddharth decided to tie the nuptial knot, we were all expecting big, grandeur, extravagance, and probably even a Bollywood-style helicopter entry. But the two did something that left everybody pleasantly surprised in that they opted for a soulfully simple and breathtakingly beautiful ceremony instead of the big fat Indian wedding.
Their intimate wedding, held at the 400-year-old Sri Ranganayaka Swamy Temple in Wanaparthy, Telangana, was nothing short of a fairytale. With heritage, tradition, and love at the core, Aditi and Siddharth proved that a wedding doesn’t need over-the-top decorations or a guest list filled with every influencer on Instagram. Sometimes, all you need is family, love, and a stunning temple backdrop.
Let’s dive deeper into their wedding – the clothes, the location, and, of course, those internet-breaking moments!
The Venue: A Temple Older Than Bollywood
While most celebs jet off to Udaipur palaces or European castles for their wedding, Aditi and Siddharth chose the road less traveled—quite literally. Their wedding took place in the ancient Sri Ranganayaka Swamy Temple in Telangana, a 400-year-old marvel that holds deep cultural significance.
This temple is known for its stunning Dravidian architecture and intricate carvings. It did well to become the perfect backdrop for their simple yet regal union. Imagine exchanging vows surrounded by centuries of history–now that is romance!
Aditi’s Bridal Look: Saree Goals, Sabyasachi Style!
Let’s talk about the lehenga—or in this case, the gorgeous silk saree. While many brides go full Cinderella mode with grand gowns, Aditi stayed true to her royal roots (she is related to the Royal Family of Wanaparthy, after all!).
Dressed in a gorgeous traditional Kanjeevaram silk saree in deep red and gold, Aditi looked like a straight-out-of-a-Raja-Ravi-Varma painting. Her outfit, designed by none other than Sabyasachi Mukherjee, was paired with intricate handcrafted polki jewelry studded with rubies, gold, and pearls.
Siddharth: The Groom Who Matched the Vibe
Gone are the days when grooms played second fiddle to the bride’s wedding look. Siddharth made sure he matched Aditi’s elegance with a traditional white and gold silk kurta, paired with a classic dhoti and veshti.
The simplicity of his outfit didn’t take away from his charm—instead, it elevated the wedding’s vibe. No designer tuxedos, no extra bling—just a groom looking effortlessly regal.
The Ceremony: Simple, Sacred, and Full of Love
The ceremony was in the early morning hours, accepting the quiet, spiritual energy of dawn. Only their closest family members and friends bore witness to the exchange of vows in a traditional South Indian ceremony with Vedic chant echoes.
No over-the-top Bollywood performances, no elephant processions, no drones dropping flowers from the sky—just two people, madly in love, celebrating their union the way it’s meant to be. Their wedding pictures, which they later shared on Instagram, radiated pure joy, love, and simplicity. And let’s be honest, those images melted our hearts faster than butter on a dosa. —
Could temple weddings turn out to be the new blockbuster? Maybe Aditi and Siddharth’s sensually beautiful marriage will be one of the upcoming Bollywood bride’s and groom’s inspirations.
Only time will tell, but till then, let us swoon at their love story and wait with bated breath for a sequel as cute as this wedding. Maybe a royal reception next?
