Wedding bells are ringing on television. Recently Chandni and Aditya tied the knot in India Calling, Nikhil-Ananya of Ek Ladki Anjani Si are taking their vows on August 17 and on the same day, Bhabhi's Alpa will take the saat pheras with Shubham Ananya and Nikhil's wedding set designed by Sharmistha Roy's younger sister Samita, popularly called Piku, is a miniature version of the dance set we've seen in Devdas. Piku was given a brief of creating a floor that is larger than life. "That's when the set where Madhuri Dixit sings and dances to the Birju Maharaj number came to my mind. When I discussed it with the creative director, he was all for it," informs Piku. Once the idea was okayed, Piku started hunting for fabrics and props. One particular fabric which she liked was short in supply but Piku refused to compromise. She stuck to the shade she wanted and after running all over Mumbai, she finally managed to procure 2000 metres of it. She got hold of the location just four days before the shoot at Film City and so the intricate motifs and designs on the much-talked about staircase were manually done. There are 24 stairs and on every stair, mirrors have been stuck decoratively. A gold orange colour scheme has been used to highlight the set which has cost around Rs 10 lakh. The wedding is being attended by all the popular stars appearing on Sony serials, including Aroona Irani, Kiran Kumar, Sachin Sharma, Manav Goyal and Apoorva Agnihotri-Shilpa Saklani. Shweta Keswani has performed to the popular item song 'Beedi jalaile...' from Omkara. Alpa-Shubham tie the knot
The Alpa-Shubham wedding in Bhabhi will be attended by the favourite jodi of Kumkum, Star's numero uno noon show, Kumkum and Sumeet who will dance to the song 'Say shava shava...' The family members of Bhabhi and Kumkum will perform on a medley of 'Kajra re...', 'Nach baliye...' and 'Chalte chalte...' among others. Viewers will also get a chance to win a dazzling lehenga choli outfit, that will be worn by Suhana (Rucha Gujarati) for the wedding, who pairs up with her devar Nehaal, and groove to 'Chand sifarish...'. The contest began on August 15 and will conclude on August 24 at 12.00 a.m. If you want to win the outfit, catch the one-hour special Shaadi Ke Rang, Bhabhi Ke Sang on August 17 at 1.30 pm.

On India Calling, Chandni and Aditya's wedding is preceded by a week-long celebration.
