Sharmin Segal, niece of Sanjay Leela Bhansali Unites Into Wedlock with Biz Tycoon Aman Mehta
She’s no doubt a modern-day bride with a timeless allure, she is Sharmin Segal, the talented and charming niece of veteran filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
She epitomised elegance and tradition, in celebrated fashion designer duo Rimple and Harpreet’s customised and majestically draped couture bridal lehenga.
Sticking to her own design rules and breaking away from the Bollywood bride template, Sharmin’s exquisite lehenga epitomised the beauty of Indian crafts intertwined with the beautiful design language of the masters of couture Rimple and Harpreet.
Notably, celebrating the world of rich cultures and heritage through Delhi-based designer duo Rimple and Harpreet couture, Sharmin’s opulent bridal lehenga sets new goals for brides-to-be.
The ercu and rose-gold timeless ensemble, comprising delicate skirt with bejewelled peacock and floral vine motifs, inspired from the vintage 18th Century French lace fragments sourced from Rimple and Harpreet’s personal archives.
A mesmerising showcasing of royalty, each motif was embroidered first followed by the intricate cutwork to create a magical illusion of jaali-like lace.
To invoke the beauty of Indian craftsmanship, the signature cutwork on the opulent skirt was embroidered with zardozi and marodi ka kaam.
Uniting the harmonious tapestry and the royal colour palette of the bridal lehenga, were the embroidery panels which were further layered with dabka, naqshi, sequins, pearls, crystals and semi-precious stones.
Notedly, Sharmin paired the exquisite lehenga with an embroidered choli and draped a sheer tulle dupatta with a scalloped cutwork border.
A 12 feet long train added the finishing touch to the graceful sequin encrusted diaphanous tulle veil.
Recognised for her charismatic onscreen presence and acting prowess, Sharmin back in the day had also worked on the sets of the blockbuster film Padmaavat, as an assistant director and amidst the long schedule created a special bond with Rimple.
Hence, when it was time to create her dream wedding look, Sharmin rang up her dear friend and the rest scripted history.
With no exaggeration, Sharmin is a charming girl and Rimple and Harpreet were delighted to custom make her dream wedding outfit that perfectly blends with her style requirements which revolves around comfort, ease and her deep rooted love for Indian heritage crafts.
On the workfront, Sharmin Segal will soon be seen in the forthcoming magnum-opus historical-drama series “Heeramandi”, directed by filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Sharmin’s costumes in the Netflix series are designed by the designer duo Rimple and Harpreet.
