Celebrities who broke all the wedding stereotypes and set new goals for future generations

At any Indian wedding ceremony, there are a number of traditional rituals followed by families on the groom’s and bride’s sides. This is a sign of cultural rootedness. Many customs and special rituals are followed by Indians during a typical two-three day wedding ceremony. It is believed that certain rituals and traditions are important to be followed to lead a successful married life. However, some celebrity brides in recent times have done away with wedding rituals that are considered stereotypical. This not only challenges the dogmatic Indian society and its belief system but also sets a good precedence for future generations.
