| | | | Fardeen Khan cracks his knuckles | As the D-day of Fardeen Khan (son of Feroz and Sundri) and Natasha Madhvani (daughter of Mayur and Mumtaz) approaches, the chaos and frenetic activity is increasing too.
Both families are busy putting together an audio-visual presentation (which they were shooting yesterday at a suburban studio) — moments of treasured togetherness — in a hush-hush manner.

| | | Laila Khan Rajpal helps Natasha Madhvani pick out jewellery | Says Feroz Khan, "There will be no nikaah, no Muslim or Hindu rites. They will have a registered marriage, with the father of the bride walking her up the aisle; and there will be a best man.
There is no priest, but the marriage registrar, who will do the deed. We are a family who believes that all religions are one and that there is one God. We have always been a totally integrated family.
It was Fardeen's and Natasha's decision to have a civil court marriage, and we respect that. They should be happy. Natasha is a very bright girl, born and educated in England, and she didn't want any rituals or ceremonies. It was their choice." The gifts...
Feroz Khan
"Material gifts are not important. The biggest gifts I can give him today are my love and best wishes. It's all I can give someone who has everything.
Fardeen has everything he wants or needs in terms of material things." The proud father will wear Indian on sangeet day — a black brocade Pathani suit; on for the wedding and the reception, he will be formally attired in dark suits. Laila Khan Rajpal
Fardeen's elder sister and a famous painter in her own right. Laila has designed the wedding cards and has been receiving innumerable compliments for them.
What gift does she plan to give Fardeen? "Though Fardeen has lots of my paintings, I plan to gift him another one, which I will paint specially for him. Fardeen likes nudes, so maybe I will paint him one." upala@mid-day.com |
