Bollywood Couples
LARA DUTTA & MAHESH BHUPATHI
Romantic, idyllic Bali it was, for the heroine and the tennis ace for their honeymoon. Post their dream wedding on the sands of Goa, the couple decided to opt for the Balinese paradise, complete with its unending array of shingled beaches, aqua sports, tropical sunsets, sleepy palms and gorgeous villas, to bring in taheir future together. Perhaps the crystal clear waters of the location beckoned, especially since Lara perfected deep sea diving while. Stooping for her film Blue earlier.
KAREENA KAPOOR & SAIF ALI KHAN
After a five-year courtship the Bollywood actors have finally formalized their relationship: the couple tied the nuptial knot amidst frenzied cataloguing of each minor detail by their fans. Come December and the duo will leave on their honeymoon for Gstaad, Switzerland. Cupped by the breathtaking Bernese Alps, Gstaad is a scenic, cosy village nestled by the mountains. Dotted with fabled hiking, hiking and skiing trails, and cross country slopes—(something the Nawab of Pataudi, Saif Ali Khan is known to favour)—the destination has been a staple hot spot for Saif and Kareena for their annual vacation in the past. Buzz is that Mr. and Mrs. Khan are slated to check into the penthouse suite of the Gstaad Palace, a five-star property fringed by a view of unending peaks, even from the open air Jacuzzi that comes knitted to the penthouse.
LISA RAY & JASON DEHNI
The light eyed actress and her banker beau formalized their relationship through a grand destination wedding at the rather picturesque Napa Valley in California. It was a perfect fusion of Mediterranean fare with Indian glam in more ways than one as table artiste Suphala performed together with singer and songwriter Tara Grand to make the occasion memorable for the model turned actress. Lisa and Jason are honeymooning at the luxurious French Polynesian island of Bora Bora. Fringed by a beautiful lagoon and a barrier reef, the island in its centre has the remnants of an extinct volcano.
SHIPLA SHETTY & RAJ KUNDRA
The Bollywood actress exchanged wedding vows with beau, business-man Raj Kundra, in Khandala and posts their spectacular wedding reception in Mumbai, the couple took off for the rather exotic Paradise Islands in the Bahamas, The fantastic location was in itself a perfect gift for Shipla as it was her first trip to the archipelago. The duo stayed at the Regal Suite at the renowned Atlantis Bahamas Resort, a virtual natural cocoon of unusual marine life that is dotted with picturesque lagoons and underwater ruins of the famed Atlantis.
IMRAN KHAN & AVANTIKA MALIK
The film star and his girlfriend of eight years got married in a private ceremony in Mumbai and a few months later, took off for a private island (khao Lak) near Phuket in Thailand to enjoy their time off. Of course, the koh privacy spelt sheer paradise for the couple, as well as for their 50-odd family and friends who accompanied them to the location. Well deserved languor; theme park Fantasia lining the sea along Kamala Beach; and a wealth of exciting sporty pursuits like parasailing for that zingy sense of adventure; perhaps added to Phuket’s appeal.
