Neil Nitin Mukesh is all set to tie the knot with fiancée Rukmini Sahay next month and his wedding invitation card pays tribute to Mukesh, his grandfather and the legendary singer as we know him.
Neil got engaged to Rukmini Sahay last year. The couple is busy preparing for their wedding ceremonies which will be held in Udaipur on February 9. The actor has started sending invitation cards to his friends in the industry. Through this card the actor has paid tribute to his late grandfather Mukesh.
The card has N and R initials embossed on the cover. The invite opens with a song from the film Shor (1972) which sets tone for the forthcoming pages. The first function being the engagement has verses from Anand while the song from Himalaya Ki Ghod Mein (1965) is the introduction for the mehendi ceremony and Chhalia song is chosen for sangeet.
A paragraph from the song in the film Jal Bin Machhli Nritya Bin (1971) announces the wedding, while the soulful and hugely popular love song, Kabhi kabhi....from Kabhi Kabhi (1976) is for reception. All these chosen songs were sung by Mukesh.
The card is designed by Ravish Kapoor. Neil Nitin Mukesh says, “We wanted the invite to be very personal and hence decided to go with a compilation of memories. Everything starts and ends with Mukesh. The conceptualisation for the invite came from my parents. It is like a series of love ballads and I’ve already received many calls from well-wishers, telling me they have loved the thought behind it.”
