was a blend of us.” She shared how every detail of the engagement reflected memories of her late mother. “Dear Ma, You were right – fairytales can be real The Gordhana was everything Ro and I dreamt of – pieces of us, and pieces of you, woven into every detail. From the rajnigandha you loved, to the wall of family photos, the old rom-coms we used to watch together, the hand written letters Ro has written to me over the years, and all our favourite nostalgic sweet treats.. it felt like we were walking through our own memory lane,” she wrote.

She revealed that her mother’s words, “Rab raakha,” were stitched onto the outfit. “She always said, “Rab raakha.” So I’ve carried it with me into this new chapter – stitched gently on my back, tucked safely in my heart. A reminder that she’s still here, still watching, still my forever protector. My Maa Thank you @arpita_mehta for making sure these weren’t just words on fabric, but feelings woven into every thread. A promise. A prayer. A piece of her with me.”
