The lehenga, with its broad borders and intricate golden threadwork, was a sight to behold. She adorned herself with kundan jewellery, contrasting green bangles, and glamorous makeup. Mohsin, her dashing groom, was a perfect match in a peach-coloured sherwani with white pyjamas. The couple later hosted a reception for their industry friends, where Urmila, once again, dazzled in a white and golden-hued ensemble designed by Manish, while Mohsin looked dapper in a black tux.
