The Bridal Retreat Makes Their Luxurious Debut Into Indian Market Taking Brides on a Journey of Self Discovery

VMPL
New Delhi [India], May 24: A new chapter in bridal preparation begins with the arrival of The Bridal Retreat, India's first immersive, purpose-driven experience, designed exclusively for brides-to-be. Launching its first edition from July 9 to 15, 2025, in ITC Grand Chola Chennai, this six-day residential retreat redefines the modern bridal journey with a blend of elegance, introspection, and curated luxury.
The Bridal Retreat is a sanctuary for emotional clarity, financial awareness, body confidence, and soulful self-care. With thoughtfully designed signature modules and expert-led sessions, each day invites brides into a deeper connection with themselves to last beyond just the wedding day.
Set in one of Chennai's most opulent destinations, this debut edition promises indulgence without distraction, a luxurious pause before the vows. With future chapters across Hyderabad, Jaipur, Delhi, Goa, and beyond, The Bridal Retreat is poised to become a pan-India movement.
With India's most trusted voices joining as mentors, from well-being expert Luke Coutinho to makeup icon Namrata Soni and storyteller Vishal Punjabi, the retreat offers a rare circle of guidance that nurtures not just the bride, but the woman within.
"This stage in a woman's life isn't just about planning a wedding -- it's about navigating a powerful transition. Hormonal shifts, heightened stress, evolving identities, changing relationships and family dynamics happen simultaneously. Women's physical and emotional health matters deeply here. I'm thrilled to speak to brides across these cities, hoping the takeaways from these sessions will help make the journey ahead reassuring. My own team is about 90% women, many of whom have walked their own personal journeys while supporting others on theirs. This is such a special opportunity to connect with a powerhouse of women who are on the cusp of a big change -- and to remind them that their health and wellbeing are the foundation for everything that follows, " shares Holistic Nutrition - Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine Expert, Luke Coutinho.
Celebrity Makeup Artist, Namrata Soni, also commented, "Bridal beauty isn't about the perfect look - it's about feeling beautiful from within. The Bridal Retreat helps brides reconnect with their true self before they walk down the aisle. "
Vishal Punjabi, Filmmaker & Storyteller spoke on this association "Weddings are not just events, they're emotional milestones. At The Bridal Retreat, we're giving brides the space to discover their story, not just perform it. Because the most powerful visuals come from a woman who truly knows herself."
With its debut, The Bridal Retreat is set to become more than just a destination, it is a movement for modern Indian brides seeking depth, beauty, and meaning in the days leading up to their wedding. In a world that often rushes toward the aisle, this retreat offers a pause; luxurious, intentional, and unforgettable. Curated for brides to say yes to themselves, before they say yes to their forever, the journey begins here.
Applications are now open for a limited number of spots at thebridalretreatindia.com. Brides-to-be across India are invited to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime experience that offers not just transformation - but true becoming.

Amitabh Bachchan praised Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for not using 'painkiller' during Aaradhya's delivery: 'She was in pain..., wanted...'

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, one of Bollywood's most popular couples, have been married for nearly 18 years now. The pair got engaged in January 2007, followed by a lavish wedding at the Bachchan mansion in April of the same year. In November 2011, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan welcomed Aaradhya Bachchan, their first and only child. When Amitabh Bachchan Showered Heaps Of Praise Aishwarya was 38 years old when she gave birth to her daughter, and her father-in-law, megastar Amitabh Bachchan , was the one who praised her for her strength during the delivery. At the time, Amitabh Bachchan showed his respect for his daughter-in-law, Aishwarya Rai and disclosed how she went through labor for '2-3 hours' without receiving an epidural to have a normal birth. Soon after his granddaughter Aaradhya was born, Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan emerged from their home in Jalsa to tell the media about the happy news. At the time, Amitabh Bachchan had also commented on who the baby looked more like. He said, 'I think she looks like Aishwarya. However, as everyone knows, children's faces change daily. I still believe she resembles Aishwarya. Some members of the family believe she resembles Jaya or Abhishek slightly.' Amitabh Praised Her Daughter-In-Law For Not Using… Amitabh Bachchan went on to laud Aishwarya Rai for her strength after childbirth. The actor said, 'She had to suffer, but I admire her for being in intense labour for over 2-3 hours. But she insisted and stated that she preferred a conventional delivery. 'She didn't use any epidurals or painkillers.' Suniel Shetty On C-Section Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty has spoken up about his daughter Athiya Shetty's transition into motherhood. Suniel stated in an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha that Athiya and Indian cricketer KL Rahul just welcomed their first child, a baby girl. He stated that Athiya had a regular birth and that, while 'C-section is comfortable,' she was determined to pursue the natural route. Meanwhile, Suniel Shetty's comments about C-sections didn't go over well with everyone. He stated, 'In a world where everyone desires the convenience of having a cesarean baby, she chose not to do so and had a natural birth. I recall every nurse and pediatrician in the hospital saying it was incredible how she went through the entire process.'
