Kriti Kharbanda and Pulkit Samrat recently tied the knot on March 15 in a private ceremony held in Delhi, surrounded by their loved ones from both family and the industry. The couple has been sharing glimpses of their special moments, and now Kriti has treated fans to a series of enchanting pictures from her Chooda ceremony.

Taking to her Instagram, Kriti shared a carousel of images capturing the essence of the traditional ritual. Dressed in a stunning neon green saree with a matching blouse, adorned with intricate gold jewelry, Kriti looked radiant as she participated in the ceremony. The images also offer a close-up of her kaleerah, engraved with the sweet message, "Will you marry me?"

In her heartfelt caption, Kriti expressed the significance of the moment, reminiscing about childhood dreams and cherishing the old-school charm of the occasion. She wrote, "

Naani ma ka haar aur ma ki shaadi ka dupatta! The two things I was sure I was going to adorn during my Chooda ceremony even before there was a boyfriend or a proposal ?? bachpan ka Sapna that :) It was a magical morning. Riding high on emotions and my heart pounding coz pulkit and I weren’t allowed to meet or see each other before the pherA’s. While we did things our way, a few things were still old school :) I wish he was a part of this moment too, but sigh, I loved the look on his face the first time he saw these pictures and was bowled over ?? Laal chooda and traditional kaleera’s were a non negotiable too. The number of people who tried to convince me otherwise was insane. But I’m so glad I stuck to what I wanted to do and didn’t look back ??

For the unversed, the couple's wedding, held at the ITC Grand Bharat in Delhi, marked the culmination of years of love and companionship. As Kriti and Pulkit embark on this new journey together, their Chooda ceremony serves as a poignant reminder of the beauty of tradition and the joy of embracing one's cultural heritage.
