While the beautiful couple gushes in the glory of the newly found wedded bliss, we give you the dope on their sweet little love story! While Kunal Kapoor is a well known Bollywood actor, Naina Bachchan, daughter of Amitabh Bachchan’s brother Ajitabh and his entrepreneur wife Ramola Bachchan, is an investment banker by profession. The duo was introduced to each other by Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter Shweta Bachchan Nanda, almost three years ago. The two had been dating ever since before getting hitched on February 9, this year, in the paradisal Seychelles islands.
After taking the wedding vows in a very private ceremony in Seychelles, the lovely couple hosted a two-day bash for their family and friends back home. The grand reception was much talked about and attended by a host of Bollywood celebrities, designers and politicians.
While everybody loved the décor done by ace designer Rohit Bal along with J & S Event Planners and others, the taste-bud-tingling Indian delicacies were an absolute highlight at the event. Offering this lavish Indian spread, Tandoori Night’s Grand Catering Services presented flavorous treats absolutely rolling with the much appreciated sweet n’ salty punches!
Let’s take you through this one enchanting encounter with love, opulence and tastefulness.
Pre-reception Celebrations
After an idyllic beach wedding, the gorgeous couple continued their celebrations in Delhi. Before the grand reception, the Kapoor and the Bachchan family played great hosts to a cozy gathering for their immediate families and close friends at private premises. What caught the most attention was the amazing food plated by Tandoori Night’s! With personalised white glove service at its behest, the catering company is a thoughtful adventure in the world of cuisines. Driven by the dynamic duo Chef Lalit and Sakshi Tuli, Tandoori Night’s answers your hunger for great food complemented with great hospitality.

Taking shape in the year 2001, the catering service has earned reputation of being a highly creative business rendering unparalleled food and hospitality services, with added warmth. And proving the same, the company lent the celebrations of Kunal & Naina an unprecedented touch that they shall savour all their lives!
The guests were treated with a wide menu that had everything from elaborate international selections to Pan-Asian cuisines and the much loved Awadhi assortments. The food display/ counters were spectacular and highly appreciated by Kunal and his family.
The Grand Reception
Before we spill the details on the most perfect décor setting or the extremely appetising food, you should know that our Rang De Basanti star was debonair in a royal bandhgala and the bride was a dream in a heavily embellished red, white and golden lehenga. Naina’s embroidered ensemble was perfectly paired with chunky kundan jewellery. The proud parents of the bride opted for subtle whites and were elegance personified.
The celebration was attended by the whole Bachchan clan and the likes of Shobha De, Priyanka and Robert Vadra, Hrithik Roshan, Anupam Kher, Rahul Dev, Rinki Khanna, and Poonam Dhillon. Rina Dhaka, Ritu Kumar, Ritu Beri, Suneet Varma were also there to congratulate the couple among many others B-town hotshots.
While Meet Brothers were invited to musically ease the night, Abhishek and his elder sister Shweta hit the dance floor and grooved to their beats.
The Classic Selection
Tandoori Night’s is known for its glamorous portfolio and has many celebrity weddings to its credit. But when it comes to entrepreneur, socialite and food critic Ramola Bachchan who is a stalwart in her own right, it gets a bit difficult to satisfy her subtle yet discerning palate.

But with years of notable experience into the hospitality industry under their belt, Chef Lalit and Sakshi Tuli packed a tempting punch that was simply irresistible. After few months of exhaustive food trials and innumerable meetings, Ramola Bachchan invited Tandoori Night’s to treat her distinguished gathering with their signature Indian recipes.
The catering giant kept a perfect balance between international and Indian cuisines and rendered services that were second to none. While Chef Lalit Tuli used exotic spices to lend subtle flavours and aromas to his overwhelmingly impressive recipes, Sakshi, on the other hand, effortlessly created a classic statement in presenting his artistry.
The Statement Menu
On offer was Nawabi food with Nawabi services. Experts were specially called from Lahore for the extravagantly divine Lahori shahi patther ke kebab, and Lucknow for the very delectable subz galouti served with ulte tawa ke paranthe. The guests loved the unique flavours and luscious aroma that Chef Lalit blended perfectly.

And of course, every great event has a sugary end to it! Adding to the well heeled vibe of the party was the extremely delicious nano jalebi served with gur ki allahabadi khurchan. The look of the dessert was such that nobody could pass without noticing it and the taste, well, mouthwatering is an understatement!
Cheer & Chow
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the rich culinary experience that Tandoori Night’s plated exclusively for the posh gala. As Ramola Bachchan fondly opines, “The specialty counter of kebabs from Lahore was outstanding and received the utmost appreciation from all our guests. And Tandoori Night’s’ signature dessert was equally well received. Chefs Lalit’s and Sakshi’s personal appearance and active involvement were also to be complimented.”
Despite the unfavourable weather conditions by the end, the Tandoori Night’s team unfailingly attended each and every guest personally and made sure that everyone had gala of a time!
And lastly, nothing can be better than the groom himself acknowledging the great show put up by Tandoori Night’s. Kunal Kapoor not only appreciated the food but praised the overall service and thanked the team of Tandoori Night’s for making the special occasion a gravy train!
As for Tandoori Night’s, Chef Lalit and Sakshi dub it as one of the most memorable weddings that they have contributed to and call it indeed a learning experience with Ramola Bachchan pushing them beyond limits!
Well, here’s wishing Kunal and Naina a great life ahead, and Tandoori Night’s much success!
