Says a source, "It began at 11 am and was over in one-and-half hours. The Kapoors and Rajputs were certain that they wanted it to be an intimate affair. There were just about 40-odd people present for the nuptials. After a brief photo session as man and wife, the couple partied along with their respective families and close friends at the Trident Hotel where the reception took place." Another reception has also been planned on July 12 at the Palladium Hotel in Lower Parel here for Shahid's industry colleagues.

Sharing details of the pre-wedding festivities, Reshma Ruhi, one of the girls who applied mehndi on Mira's hands, says: "We had been called to do the mehndi for six people. I was called through a common friend of the Rajputs. The bride opted for a full design on her palms and a small pattern outside with a delicate floral henna art on her feet.
