Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta's daughter Ira Khan got married to her long-term boyfriend Nupur Shikhare on Wednesday, January 3, 2024, in a registered marriage. It was an intimate affair with only family and close friends present. However, according to reports, the newlyweds will have a lavish social wedding ceremony scheduled on January 8, 2024, followed by some ceremonies till January 10, for other guests and Bollywood personalities in Udaipur. For the festivities and the wedding, Taj Aravali Resort and Spa in Udaipur has been reserved as the venue of choice. We did a quick deep dive to find out more about this luxurious locale.
This plush property is situated on a dramatic landscape in the erstwhile princely state of Mewar in Rajasthan, in the city of lakes, Udaipur. The luxury resort is spread over 27 acres and is surrounded by the rugged Aravali Ranges. It is also near the city center and Fateh Sagar Lake. The property's decor is inspired by Rajasthani architecture and culture. According to their website, the resort "has 176 well-appointed rooms, suites, and luxury tents staggered over different levels across an undulating landscape." These have reportedly all been booked for the wedding. The guest rooms include deluxe rooms with garden view and balcony, luxury tents with panoramic views, traditional garden-view cottages, tranquil wellness suites, luxury hill-view suites with garden and sit-out, regal tent suites with panoramic views, presidential two-bedroom glass box with panoramic views, deluxe hill-view rooms with a balcony and deluxe rooms with both gardens and sit-outs.

The Wellness Center at the Aravali Taj offers various wellness treatments to recharge the spirit and the body. The treatments here are customized as per the requirements and all the ingredients used are naturally sourced from Indian herbs, salt, and pure essential oils. The signature experiences here include Abhisheka, Sushupti, Vishrama, Vishuddi, Ventoz and Sammatva.
Ira Khan and Nupur Shikhare are not the only celebrity couple who have chosen Rajasthan as their wedding destination. Sidharth Malhotra-Kiara Advani, Priyanka Chopra-Nick Jonas, Katrina Kaif-Vicky Kaushal, Parineeti Chopra-Raghav Chaddha, Katy Perry-Russell Brand, Hardik Pandya-Natasa Stanovik were just a few who got married in this Western Indian state. Ira and Nupur's choice of this luxury Resort and Spa in Udaipur, however, appears to be a unique choice. After the wedding festivities at this grand venue in Udaipur, the couple will also host a reception in Mumbai later in the week for friends from the industry and other guests
