I believe that Indian weddings serve as a profound expression of our cultural identity. Rooted in sensitivity, emotion, and tradition, the celebration of marriage in India is a grand display of human emotions and communal ties. Regardless of their scale, I find joy in attending weddings. I prioritise versatility and sustainability in my wardrobe, occasionally repeating outfits while also exploring new styles for each event.

While weddings can be lucrative for event and PR companies, I consider them a financial extravagance driven by societal expectations (‘log kya kahenge’). True issues within marriages often go unaddressed. Minimizing wedding expenses and focusing more on the marriage itself could be a prudent approach. It’s disheartening to witness people taking loans for showmanship and spending their lives repaying those debts for societal approval. I mix it up, sometimes repeating outfits for comfort and sustainability, but I also enjoy showcasing new styles for special occasions.

In my view, weddings entail unnecessary expenditure of money, time, and energy. Despite being a significant aspect of Indian culture, some question the practicality of elaborate celebrations. The new generation, opting for practicality over fairy tale weddings, prefers allocating funds to experiences like travel. While weddings offer a chance to reunite with relatives, I personally find them to be a financial burden. My own wedding was simple, avoiding an extended honeymoon. For clothes, I believe in blending practicality and fashion flair—repeating outfits for a touch of familiarity, yet relishing the chance to dazzle with new looks on the red carpet.

I see weddings as a celebration of India’s rich culture, providing an opportunity for families separated by distance to come together. Despite the expenses involved, this communal gathering reflects the beauty of Indian traditions. While it may be costly, earning money to enjoy such cultural festivities is part of the essence of life, and I believe in finding joy in every moment. Striking a balance between comfort and style, I find joy in reusing outfits for a personal touch, while also indulging in fresh fashion statements for special occasions.

Well, I don’t mind repeating my outfits in weddings because I think how many heavy traditional outfits we should buy that can’t be worn frequently. And also, I don’t go to weddings much. I prefer only going to my closed ones’ wedding. I have my cousin’s wedding in November in Punjab but I am going to miss it because I am shooting. It’s very sad because I am not able to attend this wedding because it is so much fun.

Weddings are the one of the most memorable and important occasions in one’s life and also for the family. Weddings in India are a family affair. I am very excited to attend weddings of friends and some weddings in my family. Personally, I feel the expenditure on weddings shouldn’t be a burden. We should plan well and in balance.
