My Niece’s Big Fat Delhi Wedding: Sushmita Sen or Nitasha Kohli Arora?

Is this a sequel to My Big Fat Greek Wedding or a remake of Monsoon Wedding? It’s neither but rather a beautiful amalgamation of both. My Niece’s Big Fat Delhi wedding has taken the Singapore World Film Carnival with a storm this year, winning the much coveted Critics’ Choice Award. This is not the only award the documentary by debutante film maker Haresh Sood has garnered, it has won several other awards across film festivals and carnivals across the globe.

Not only has the documentary caused a stir in the world of films and documentaries, the bride on whom this documentary was made has caused a stir amongst critics and viewers. Who is this bride? Who is Nitasha Kohli Arora?

Nitasha Kohli Arora a Gurugram based MBA graduate in Finance works for KPMG is being called the next influencer with her sense of fashion and
style for brides to be, women and girls everywhere. Clad in a yellow saree on of the documentary’s poster, some critics have drawn comparisons between her and the legendary queen Sushmita Sen, coincidentally Haresh Sood has worked with both women.

Even before the documentary Nithasa had been approached by various Bollywood agencies, but instead she chose to focus on her career and settling down. However, Nitasha has once again made heads turn in the industry with the success of My Niece’s Big Fat Delhi Wedding making waves from England, Paris, Toronto, Spain and even Singapore.

I too like many of you wanted to know more about this documentary especially Nitasha Kohli Arora, so in the spirit of blogging I reached out to Haresh Sood the director and the uncle of Nitasha Kholi to ask him a few questions. There was so much he had to share about the documentary, but this is what he had to say about Nitasha’s popularity;

“We always knew we had a star in the family. But I must say, Sushmita Sen did not receive this level of attention when I worked with her in the past, and we all know Sushmita Sen is in a beautiful league of her own!”

A fair comparison I’d say, I mean after all what do Sushmita Sen and Nitasha have in common? Haresh Sood, the director with an eye for detail.

This did not satiate my hunger to know more about Nitasha and her own views on this media attention, so in my eagerness to learn more, I reached out to her. This is what she had to say about the attention she has been getting ever since the publicity of the documentary;

“I have always idolised Sushmita Sen for her beauty and grace, I never expected my uncle to make a documentary based on my wedding and for me to have comparisons drawn to the living legend Sushmita Sen, I am honoured and I am still trying to get used to all this media attention.”

 

Beauty with humility, wouldn’t you agree. I for one have fallen in love with this beautiful young lady, and I can’t wait to watch My Niece’s Big Fat Delhi Wedding. Don’t forget to watch the premier this Diwali.
