It was on December 1, 2019, when Babita and Vivek had tied the knot in an intimate ceremony with only 21 baraatis, ditching the concept of a big fat Indian wedding. If that was not the inspiration enough, then Babita and Vivek had taken an extra phera, apart from the saat pheras, dedicating it to the ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ initiative. Like every other bride, Babita too wanted to be dressed her best on her big day, and thus ace designer, Sabyasachi Mukherjee had taken his magic wand to turn the gorgeous wrestler into a beautiful princess, as she had worn an exactly similar red bridal lehenga that Priyanka Chopra had worn on her wedding.
