Imran Khan and Avantika Marriage: wish a happy married life: Bollywood's chocolate boy Imran Khan married long time girlfriend Avantika Malik in Mumbai on Monday.
The couple is off to Thailand on Tuesday for their honeymoon but not alone - 50 guests will be accompanying the newly-weds. Imran, who had been dating Avantika for the past eight years, had a registered marriage at his superstar uncle Aamir Khan's house in Pali Hill.
After the wedding, Imran came to his house with his newlywed wife in a black Porsche decorated with white flags with "Just Married" written on them. The house was decorated with flowers and lights
Both wore beautiful traditional wedding costumes - Avantika was wearing a light grey lehenga choli with a red border and gold work and Imran was dressed in a black bandhgala.
"I'm not feeling married right now, it will take some time to sink in. I'm very happy" Imran said.
Asked how he felt after breaking the hearts of his female fans, the 27-year-old said: "I've been in a relationship for the past eight years so the point of breaking hearts doesn't arise. Everyone always knew that I'm dating and was never single, so getting married is nothing new."
Imran's maternal uncle, Aamir was dressed in black sherwani with self-print and a maroon churidar and his wife Kiran Rao went traditional too, donning a purple-gold lehenga choli.
"We are very happy for both of them and all our blessing are with them. I hope they have a happy married life and have lots of kids," said a visibly elated Aamir.
The actor will be hosting a grand reception once the couple returns from their honeymoon. The date has not been fixed, but it is scheduled for the end of this month.
After the wedding, the couple hosted a quiet dinner for close family and friends at Taj Lands End Hotel.

Imran Khan and Avantika Malik to fly off to Thailand: From Friday to Monday, he cancelled all his work appointments to participate in the wedding ceremonies of his nephew Imran Khan and Avantika Malik. But on Tuesday night, when the two families and their closest friends head to Phuket for a three-day celebration, Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao will not board the flight. The reason: they need to complete the pending work on their forthcoming film, Dhobi Ghat, which releases on January 21.
The mehendi and music party at the Maliks’ farmhouse on Saturday, the registration of Imran and Avantika’s wedding at the Khan residence — 24, Pali Hill — on Monday and a dinner with both the families at the Taj Land’s End, will be the last of the celebrations Aamir and Kiran will be part of. They will then attend the reception on February 5. On Tuesday, the newly married couple will fly off to Thailand with a group of 50 people. Apart from their parents, Mansoor Khan with his wife and children, Aamir’s sisters Nikhat and Farhat with their kids, his mother Zeenat Hussain, too are part of this three-day function.
“The families have booked Marriott’s Khao Lak island resort, about an hour away from Phuket, where the celebrations will continue for three days. The couple’s friends will conduct a wedding ceremony where Imran and Avantika will exchange their wedding vows, which they’ve been writing for the last few days,” reveals a friend of the family.
It is believed that Avantika chose this destination for its pristine white sand beach stretches that meet the exquisite azure waters as well as the lush tropical greenery, granite mountains and beautiful waterfalls. Aamir’s official spokesperson confirmed the actor-filmmaker absence saying, “It’s Avantika’s idea and she has done all the bookings and logistic arrangements. While both sides helped put up all the parties, this Khao Lak trip is completely Avantika’s brainchild.”
Though the families were keen to have Aamir and Kiran accompany them, the couple, which is wrapping up the post-production of Dhobi Ghat, opted out with a heavy heart. They were unavailable for comment.
Imran Khan and Avantika's wedding dresses will designs by Karan Johar: With just a few days to go for his wedding, Imran Khan is still tied up with the shoot of Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. In the meantime, his dulhan-to-be, Avantika has been shouldering the stress of wedding planning. Now, Karan Johar has come to their rescue. For starters, Karan has taken the responsibility of designing the wedding dresses of both Imran and Avantika. He has gotten in touch with his friends Manish Malhotra and Varun Bahl, both designers, and given them specific instruction about wedding dresses.
We hear that an ashen-orange coloured lehenga is being designed for Avantika. Imran will be given a traditional dress for the Mehendi ceremony on January 8 and a western suit for the wedding on January 10.
Not just for Imran and Avantika, KJo is also designing a dress for Aamir Khan, Imran’s mamujaan, and his son Junaid.
Imran is deeply touched by all the effort that K-Jo is making for their wedding.
Pre-Wedding Bash of Imran Khan: Invitation to Bollywood Celebrities: By now, it's common knowledge that Imran Khan will be breaking many hearts by tying the knot with his sweetheart Avantika Malik on Jan 10. While the wedding would be a rather private affair, Imran plans to make-up for it by hosting a pre-wedding bash (mehndi cum reception) on January 8 where he has invited all his friends from the industry.
The guest list for this pre-wedding party is quite a long one and apparently, the buzz is that Imran has specially invited all his female co-stars and most of them have confirmed their presence too. Imran's first co-star Genelia D'Souza, his Break Ke Baad co-star Deepika Padukone and Kareena Kapoor (with whom he is teaming up in Short Term Shaadi) have all confirmed to attend the party. Deepika, who is currently on a backpacking tour in the UK will cut short her vacation to attend Imran's party in Mumbai. Bebo too will cut short her Swiss holiday with beau Saif to make it in time for her co-star's wedding celebrations.
However, Sonam Kapoor and Katrina Kaif (who've worked with Imran in I Hate Luv Storys and the forthcoming YRF flick Mere Brother Ki Dulhan) would unfortunately miss out on this big bash due to prior work commitments.
Nevertheless, with so many gorgeous ladies in attendance, this one surely seems like one big fat Bollywood bash.
