Aishwarya, Umapathy’s pre-wedding festivities

Arjun Sarja, former actor Niveditha Arjun’s daughter Aishwarya, and actor-director Thambi Ramaiah’s son Umapathy began their pre-wedding festivities on June 7. The haldi ceremony was a close-knit event just for family and loved ones. Aishwarya and most of the family wore white for the ceremony, while her mother wore a yellow saree. The vibrant yellow decor’s theme was ‘Cover Me in Sunshine’.

After the haldi, Aishwarya switched into a vibrant yellow Anamika Khanna outfit for the mehendi ceremony. Umapathy was seen in a black embroidered sherwani for the occasion. The decor was dreamy, inspired by ‘The Sky Turned Pink.’ Aishwarya looked happy as she was showered with kisses, both from her fiance and father. After the haldi, the whole family even clicked a family picture together with their pets.

Vishal, who starred with Aishwarya in the 2013 film Pattathu Yaanai, went to the sangeet, shared pictures of his blue kurta on Instagram, writing, “All set for my dearest Arjun sir’s angel, my dearest Aishu and Umapathy’s #Sangeeth. Lil jitters but since it's a family one I’ll be fine, I suppose. #lookgoodfrominside #lookyaself #enjoylife.”
