As the couple signed their marriage certificate on stage, Nupur was seen sporting a pair of shorts and a black vest, a choice that sparked discussions online. In a lighthearted response to the chatter, Ira addressed the guests in a video shared on Instagram. She sought permission to excuse Nupur briefly, humorously explaining that he needed to take a shower and dress up for the ongoing ceremony.

Adding an amusing twist to the wedding festivities, Nupur, instead of opting for the traditional baraat, chose to jog from his house to the wedding venue, covering a distance of 8 kilometers. After this energetic start to the celebration, he joined his family to dance in the baraat.

Following the shower, Nupur embraced a more traditional look, donning a sherwani. The couple, along with the Khan family, posed for the media outside the wedding venue, showcasing a blend of unconventional and traditional elements in their celebration.

Ira and Nupur got engaged in Italy in September of the previous year, followed by an intimate engagement party two months later. The celebration included close family and friends, including Aamir Khan's ex-wives Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao, as well as actor Fatima Sana Shaikh.
