Content Creator Steffy Sunny Marries Childhood Best Friend in a Heartfelt Celebration
Last Updated:
Content creator Steffy Sunny's wedding was a heartfelt celebration of love, legacy, and local craftsmanship.
In an age of opulent destination weddings and viral bridal trends, digital creator and social media personality Steffy Sunny brought something refreshingly personal to the table, a celebration rooted in authenticity, community, and conscious choices. On June 6, Steffy tied the knot with her childhood best friend and longtime partner, Adharsh Nair, in a heartwarming ceremony that was nothing short of magical.
Their wedding was a blend of legacy and love, culture and creativity. With her signature warmth and intention, Steffy went 100% vocal for local, choosing to highlight the brilliance of homegrown talent. From her handcrafted bridal gown and timeless jewellery to floral arrangements and makeup artistry, every element of the celebration showcased Indian designers, local artisans, and sustainable storytelling.
Their journey began more than a decade ago, as mischievous schoolmates giggling outside classrooms and sharing innocent pranks. Fast forward to 2024, and those same giggles turned into vows exchanged in front of loved ones. 'From standing outside the classroom for punishments, laughing together… to doing the exact same thing 10 years later on the aisle," Steffy had shared in a heartfelt Instagram post that struck a chord with fans.
In a conversation just before the big day, Steffy revealed the emotional build-up:
'Honestly? It was a mix of butterflies and happy chaos! I just felt grateful. We had been planning this for so long, and knowing I was going to marry my best friend surrounded by the people we love—it was overwhelming in the best way."
Steffy and Adharsh chose not to follow any single religious tradition, despite coming from different faiths. Instead, they curated a personal and inclusive ceremony that reflected their journey, values, and shared vision.
'We didn't follow traditional rituals like the mangalsutra or church sacraments. We wrote our own vows, exchanged garlands, and that was enough for us. It felt honest, equal, and truly ours."
The moment Steffy walked down the aisle in custom pearl-embellished sneakers, locking eyes with Adharsh as they exchanged vows, became a symbol of their relationship—playful, grounded, and built on years of shared memories.
A Bridal Look with Heart and Heritage
Eschewing big-name designers, Steffy chose to collaborate with a local designer for her gown—a decision deeply aligned with her ethos.
'I just wanted to feel like myself in my dress. It wasn't about trends or labels. Working with a local designer allowed me to customize every detail and made the process incredibly personal."
Her gown featured delicate hand-embellished floral detailing, a soft sweetheart neckline, and paired perfectly with her radiant soft-glam makeup and elegant curled updo—crafted by local beauty professionals. Every piece of her look told a story, not just of fashion, but of intention.
'Vocal for Local' as a Wedding Philosophy
Steffy's wedding wasn't just a personal milestone—it was a statement.
'As a creator, I've always admired the passion local artists bring. From the décor to the sneakers I wore—it was all consciously chosen. Supporting homegrown talent wasn't a trend; it was who we are."
That authenticity extended into every detail—handwritten vows, minimalistic rituals, and thoughtfully curated decor that fused nostalgia and modernity. The couple made it clear: love isn't about extravagance, but presence and purpose.
While the ceremony didn't adhere to traditional Malayali customs, Steffy's cultural identity remained woven into the fabric of the celebration.
'Being Malayali is such a big part of me—whether it's the food, the humour, or the chaos! We brought that spirit into the speeches, the music, and the vibe. The wedding felt like storytelling, and that's very Malayali in essence."
Fans Who Became Family
Having built an authentic and loyal online following, Steffy's audience played a surprisingly intimate role in the lead-up to her big day.
'They were part of it all—helping me choose the gown colour, sending in vow suggestions. One person messaged saying, 'It feels like my friend is getting married,' and I cried reading that. Their love meant everything."
Keeping it Real — Laughter, Chaos, and Commitment
No wedding is without its fair share of chaos, and Steffy's had its lighthearted moments too.
'There was this time during a rehearsal when the wrong track played—a party remix instead of my bridal entry song! We all just laughed and danced. It reminded me not to take things too seriously."
Through it all, it was Adharsh who remained her steady support. Their decade-long relationship evolved from childhood friendship into a partnership grounded in empathy, mutual growth, and deep-rooted commitment.
'We've grown up together—from school to real life. What made the wedding special was knowing that we weren't just in love, we really knew each other. That kind of love takes time—and a lot of heart."
A Message for Modern Love
To young couples navigating modern relationships, expectations, and faith, Steffy shared a parting reflection:
'You don't need to follow a rulebook to make something meaningful. Do what feels right to you. Communicate openly. Traditions are beautiful, but authenticity is even more powerful. Love is personal—and your wedding should be too."

Last Updated: Dalljiet Kaur posted a series of photos from her recent visit to Hong Kong. Dalljiet Kaur, who is known for her work in television series Kulvaddhu, Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? and Kaala Teeka, has been balancing her responsibilities as a single mother as well as an actor. Recently, the doting mother made full use of her son Jaydon's school's summer vacation and took him on a trip to Hong Kong. The two of them visited iconic tourist spots and posed for some of the lovely frames, which Kaur later posted. On Instagram, Dalljiet Kaur posted a series of pictures from her lovely vacation with her son Jaydon in foreign land. The carousel began with the mother-son duo posing with the majestic Disneyland in the background and flaunted their widest smiles. For the day, Kaur donned a red top teamed with a white skirt while her boy opted for a casual T-shirt. The diva also wore a headband featuring the Stitch, also known as Experiment 626, a genetically engineered alien plush toy from Disney's Lilo & Stitch franchise, while her son flaunted a Chip and Dale cute plush headband, with a small acorn in the middle, cementing their status as pure Disney fans. The television actress also visited the Madame Tussauds, a wax museum in Hong Kong. There she posed with a few of the wax statues, including that of Chris Hemsworth, an Australian actor and Pia Wurtzbach, a Filipino model and actress, among others. The carousel ended with the mother-son duo being leisurely spending some quality moments in black nighsuits while lying down on their couch. 'Impromptu plans are as perfect as they can get ! Disneyland, Hongkong was a perfect way to plan the end of summer vacations. I go back to work and Jaydon starts school!" read her caption. Reacting to Kaur's lovely post, Kumkum – Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan star Shweta Kawaatra wrote, 'Wow super fun." Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani fame Vahbiz Dorabjee penned, 'Jaydon, have a blassstt and eat lots of ice cream candies," adding, 'Fun pictures." One of her fans commented, 'Jaydon must be proud to have a mother like you." Another mentioned, 'So girl you are almost back on track with your boy. I know complete healing will take time. Never ever leave things for anyone else," hinting at the turbulence she faced in her personal life. Kaur was initially married to television actor Shalin Bhanot and together they were blessed with a son, whom they lovingly named Jaydon. But six years after tying the knot, she filed for divorce accusing Shalin of domestic violence, and got divorced the same year. In 2023, she tied the knot for the second time with businessman Nikhil Patel but due to multiple tensions in their relationship, they confirmed their separation in May 2024. Coming to Kaur's professional front, besides television shows, she has also participated in reality shows like Nach Baliye 4 in which she even became the winner and Bigg Boss 13. Later, the diva made her web series debut in 2019 with BOSS: Baap of Special Services in the role of Devki. Lastly, she was seen in the 2024 TV series Chitta Ve, which revolves around the story of an extremely naive and abused woman, who is judged for not being able to become pregnant.

Aishwarya Rai refused to work with Aamir Khan in this blockbuster, earned Rs 400 crore, made Karisma Kapoor superstar; Movie is...
Aishwarya Rai and Aamir Khan—two titans of Indian cinema—have only shared screen space once, in Mela (2000). But that wasn't supposed to be their only collaboration. They were almost cast together in not one, but two significant films: Raja Hindustani (1996) and Mangal Pandey (2005). Director Dharmesh Darshan opened up about the missed opportunity in Raja Hindustani, a film that later went on to become a blockbuster. Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, he recalled, 'She was also my first choice for the role of Memsaab in Raja Hindustani (1996). My heart was with her. But she urgently had to go for Miss World. I didn't want to take any chances, as I wanted an actress who could devote her full time to the film and Bollywood. It was her sheer grace that she didn't hold it in her heart.' Meanwhile, another near-collaboration—this time in Josh—was sidestepped by a casting misread. Director Mansoor Khan said, 'I was intending to cast Aamir as the romantic lead opposite Aishwarya. But when I narrated the script to Aamir, he thought he was playing Max. Then I went to Shah Rukh; he was excited about Max. I narrated it to him; he suggested a lot of things for Max's character.' Raja Hindustani earned Rs 76.34 crore worldwide, including a domestic gross of Rs 73.84 crore. Its domestic nett was Rs 43.15 crore, and its adjusted worldwide gross is equivalent to Rs 400 crore. While these cinematic what-ifs remain part of industry lore, real-life speculations are currently casting a shadow over Aishwarya's personal life. Rumours of a split with Abhishek Bachchan have been circulating, especially after the Bachchan family's silence on Aishwarya's birthday this November 1st. Amidst the noise, an old interview with Filmfare has resurfaced, where she spoke about the reality of relationships behind the glamour, 'There's a lot of adjustment, a lot of give and take. There will be agreements and disagreements. But it's important to keep the communication going. That's something I've always believed in.' From missed roles to muted wishes, Aishwarya's timeline reads like a series of graceful exits—both scripted and unscripted.
