Who is Aishwarya Rajinikanth?

Aishwarya Rajinikanth, daughter of the legendary superstar Rajinikanth, is an accomplished Indian director and playback singer who primarily works in Tamil cinema. She married the renowned actor Dhanush in 2004, and although they announced their separation in 2022, they continue to co-parent and maintain a friendship. Let’s delve into the stunning details of Aishwarya’s traditional wedding sari, which epitomized royalty with a South Indian touch.

The multi-colour classic red

For her wedding day, Aishwarya chose a mesmerizing red sari adorned with golden polka dot detailing. The sari featured a vibrant border embellished with purple and sea green accents, creating a striking contrast with her red bridal ensemble. She wore a classic shoulder-sleeve blouse with a U-cut neckline, embodying the quintessential bridal look of the 2000s.

The gold jewellery styling

Aishwarya's jewellery choices were nothing short of spectacular. She wore an intricate gold necklace, complemented by a stunning temple jewellery-style long pendant necklace. Matching gold jhumkas and a gold maang tikka added to her regal appearance. She also wore an elaborate gold kardhani and a stack of golden and red bangles on both wrists. Her engagement ring, a diamond solitaire, was the centerpiece, accompanied by smaller rings linked with a chained bracelet. She also wore a beautiful matha pathi with a maang tika look in the middle.

The subtle yet glamorous makeup

Aishwarya opted for a makeup look that set her apart from other celebrity brides of the 2000s, who often chose silver-toned eyebrows. She went for a brown-toned palette, with a winged liner and finely lined kohl eyes. Her nude brown matte lipstick, paired with subtle contouring and a natural glow, perfectly complemented her bridal outfit. Her finely shaped eyebrows added to the elegance of her overall look.

The classic hairdo

South Indian brides traditionally choose a middle-parting bun or a long braid adorned with flowers or jewelry. Staying true to her roots, Aishwarya chose a sleek, tight bun with a middle parting, decorated with a fresh bunch of gajra tied at the back. The small fall of flowers looked natural and regal, enhancing her traditional bridal appearance.

All about their first meeting

Aishwarya Rajinikanth first met Dhanush after the screening of his film 'Kadhal Kondein.' Following the first show, Aishwarya congratulated Dhanush, and the duo shared a hug. This initial meeting sparked a series of behind-the-scenes encounters, leading to their eventual marriage in 2004.

Aishwarya Rajinikanth’s wedding look continues to inspire brides even years later, exemplifying a perfect blend of tradition, elegance, and modernity.
