We posted part one of Nida and Saif’s Mehndi on our blog last month. July has been a really busy month for us so we haven’t had time. But here now is the sequel to their amazing Mehndi. Enjoy!
Following the Dholki all the girls gathered around the groom and held on to his finger tight! This is a rasm we are seeing more and more in addition to the traditional Joota Chupaai. The point is for the girl’s side to make the groom pay up. Heavy negotiations follow amidst joking and teasing.
Once money had exchanged hands, both sides had prepared a number of dances and the competition was stellar. Following each dance there was cheers from both sides followed by boo’ing and hiss’ing and chants of “we are the champions” claiming to be winning side. Obviously, Nida and Saif got front row seats during the show.
Once in a while the they’d pull Saif on the dance floor to join them.
And then there was some more dancing. We love this one capture of Nida where her expression is a mix of excitement and pride at the dancers.
Disclaimer: Nobody got hurt during the photography of this event. This was all part of a song where the guy had a thing going on with two girls. Needless to say it didn’t end exceptionally well for him.
The best part of all the dances was when Nida’s mom came running to the dance floor shouting “Nahiiiii” and then everybody broke out to “Munda Saada Doli Charh Gayaa”. Priceless!
Finally they opened the dance floor to everyone and we got these amazing shots of Saif and Nida making it happen!
