In a conversation with Etimes, Nikhat Khan Hegde, Aamir Khan’s sister, shared some insights into the pre-wedding celebrations, including a mehendi function held at the groom’s house. Reflecting a blend of cultures, everyone adorned themselves in traditional Maharashtrian sarees for the occasion.
“Today we took Mehendi to Nupur’s house. We did the mehendi ceremony. We all decided to wear navari with a big nath. We dressed up fully Maharashtrian,” Nikhat Khan Hegde revealed.

Adding a touch of musical joy to the celebrations, she mentioned that the family has been practicing songs on the dhol for a casual sangeet ceremony. Aamir Khan himself is reportedly learning to sing for the occasion, and the festivities are expected to feature lively performances by the family members.
“We have been practicing and preparing songs on dhol, which we plan to sing tomorrow. It will be a more casual sangeet, we will be playing dhol and singing all wedding songs. Aamir is learning to sing as well. However, for the wedding songs, it is only the ladies who will be performing. Our family from Banaras, Lucknow and Delhi have come. Reena’s side family has come down from Delhi and Punjab,” she said.

Detailing the wedding plans, Nikhat shared that the couple will have a registered marriage tomorrow, with celebrations continuing in Udaipur. However, contrary to expectations, there will be no traditional Maharashtrian-style wedding.
“Udaipur’s plan is all for Ira and Nupur’s friends, and we will be going along. There we will have sangeet and mehendi, but not the Maharashtrian style wedding, it is only a registered marriage,” Nikhat clarified.
As the excitement builds around this unique celebration, it seems that Ira Khan and Nupur Shikhare’s wedding will be a delightful blend of cultures, music, and joyous moments shared with close friends and family.
