Excerpts, including spoilers:

Walking out of the theater after DDLJ, Jay (Jonathan Groff) launches into a defense of the over-the-top emotionality of Bollywood romances. “I think we’re all embarrassed by the bigness of love,” he declares. His date, Naveen (Karan Soni), is intrigued but skeptical, later recounting the interaction to his work bestie (Peter S. Kim) as a bit weird and kind of corny.

Because A Nice Indian Boy is a rom-com, though, it’s practically a given that Naveen will come around by the end. The film delights in public displays and grand gestures, such that it opens and closes on a pair of weddings. But its real strength lies in its sensitivity toward the messy feelings, smaller acts, and platonic and familial bonds that underlie those epic shows of romance. By the end, even those who don’t fancy themselves the sentimental type — as Naveen doesn’t, and I don’t particularly either — are likely to be won over by its modest but dependable charms.

A Nice Indian Boy gets the boy-meets-boy portion of its storyline squared away early. Naveen is a shy Indian American doctor who spends his lonely evenings recording (and usually deleting) messages to former flings like “Guess you’ve been eating an apple a day because you’ve kept this doctor away!” Photographer Jay is more confident and open, a former foster kid whose story got a happy ending when he was adopted by Indian parents. The two start dating after a chance meeting at a Hindu temple, and by the end of the second of the narrative’s five acts, they’re engaged. If that sounds rushed, it is — the bulk of the relationship flies by in a montage covering some unspecified period of time. And throughout, the film’s focus on Naveen cannot help but shortchange Jay, often leaving him as an ideal for Naveen to catch up to rather than a protagonist in his own right.

But it’s a testament to the film’s attention to detail that the bond between Naveen and Jay nevertheless feels sturdy. Soni and Groff share a warm and relaxed chemistry, bolstered by Eric Randall’s efficient script (adapted from the play by Madhuri Shekar). You know these people are super into each other from their first date because there’s no other reason for Naveen to stick around after Jay embarrasses him by bursting into song in the middle of the street, or for Jay to lean in with interest as Naveen rambles in excruciating detail about the parking structure at his job. Director Roshan Sethi tosses in an occasional stylistic flourish to give their courtship an almost fairy-tale feel. When they kiss for the first time, the camera tilts as if in a swoon. When they have sex, it straightens back up, as if to signal how right everything feels when they’re together.

( he/they ) ( @rainymoodlet - kiss me in komorebi+ entry. ) for your information this post tried to delete itself twice via my browser crashing and then kept giving me error messages whenever i tried to post. thankfully i back up all my sh*t but it was a struggle i tell you so have him!!! and take care of him pls he's my best boi and very fragile. also excuse any sentences that do not make sense, i am not Englishing properly today an edit bc i am dumb and left this out: i maxed out all of their "likes" slots so i cannot list everything here but it will be in the tray! just in case you were wondering where it went rip

* biography.

nickname. — Abhi age. — 31 (August 7th, 1992, Leo; my young adults tend to fall within the range of 18-35) birthstone. — peridot, ruby (Hindu calendar) faceclaim ref. — Abhilash Vadada height. — 5'9" (176 cm) sexual orientation. — bisexual gender identity. — questioning mbti. — isfj (the Nurturer) traits. — shutterbug (custom mod, included), child of the ocean, cat & dog lover, music lover, vegetarian, morning sim skills. — photography, knitting and wellness mastered, singing, piano and violin level 9. fitness and komorebigo level 7 (custom mod, optional), logic and cooking level 5, charisma, comedy and rock climbing level 1 native languages. — tartosiano (custom mod, optional), telugu, simlish aspiration. — renowned photographer (custom mod, included), lord of the knits (completed) lifestyles. — close knit, outdoorsy current occupation. — freelance photographer a native of Tartosa and an only child born to a single parent/immigrant, Abhilash has always had to work just a little bit harder than the rest to achieve his goals. but whether it was snatching bits and pieces of lessons from the music tutor in town or convincing the boss for his summer job to let him do overtime on the weekends so he could use the weekdays for studying through high school, somehow he found a way to get it done. all of that eventually paid off, though, and after getting accepted to (and graduating at the top of his class from) Britechester with a distinguished degree in Fine Art, pursuing his studies in order to have a future career in orchestral work and composition seemed like the most natural next step. an accident shortly after, however—one that resulted in the partial loss of hearing in one ear—brought those plans to a halt, and after their physician suggested against going into music full time, Abhilash fell back on an old passion of theirs; photography. a few well timed snaps within the past few years may have only now brought them into the limelight, with a tidy 12.5k followers on Simstagram, but they would consider themselves anything but a celebrity. (their assistant is still trying to convince them that that one star means more than they think.) still, he makes it work, this newfound fame, splitting his time between running his own small business as a fashion and wedding photographer and exploring his various hobbies. he was hesitant at first after his best friend, Gulab, surprised him with plane tickets and a filled out form, but with everything else in his life gradually falling into place, he figures he might as well give this a chance and see where it goes—regardless of the fact that he may just be more than slightly terrified at the idea of opening himself up to a new relationship. (and if it fails, well, there's always their best friend to blame for that.)

* things to know.

not everyone can say they've dated their best friend and had the relationship come out intact on the other end, but Abhi considers himself one of the lucky ones—he and Gulab may have, uh... f*cked around with each other during their college days as part of a dare, and then for several years after that as well. the upside to all of this? they both realized they were very, very much bisexual. the downside? they both realized they were very, very much romantically incompatible with each other. despite the breakup, both are still close, and Abhi regularly keeps in touch with Gulab and his partner since the latter moved to Komorebi. (and as for Gulab? he would be lying if he said that he didn't sign them up for the show just so they could stop by and visit in case things didn't go as planned.) despite his apparent love of jewelry (as is evidenced by his extensive receipt history *cough*), Abhi has no piercings except the stud on his left nostril—several bad experiences in college during his attempts to pierce his ears (in all fairness, it was the artist's fault and the scars never did heal properly afterwards) firmly turned him off from the idea of getting anymore anywhere else, and he compensates by layering on the bracelets and rings. if you bribe them with enough chocolate, however, you may be able to convince them to get that septum piercing they've been putting off for ages. (we're going to pretend i didn't write this entire section bc the ear presets i had for him were literally incompatible with every single earring in my CAS library sksksk) unlike the piercings, his love of tattoos seemed to have fared better—to date, Abhi is in possession of several, including (but not necessarily limited to) two small botanic tattoos done on his left foot during a trip with his first ex-girlfriend (no initials, thank goodness), a Ganesha tattoo on the inside of his right wrist as a buddy to Gulab's Om tattoo in the same spot, a full back snake piece, and (his personal favorite but as of yet incomplete) lightning bolt ensemble. next on their list? a memento of their mother's handwriting. although his dreams of becoming a world-famous musician may have been placed on the backburner (or taken off of it entirely) Abhi still plays both piano and violin, sings and composes as a hobby—recently, they were contacted by a recording studio interested in their rendition of Vaughn-Williams' The Lark Ascending, and just before that performed at a charity concert for an orphanage. they haven't decided whether to take the studio up on the offer just yet, but the joy of being able to continue to polish their skills—something that immediately after the accident would have been considered impossible—is enough for them. when he's not taking photos or working on his music, Abhi is proud to say that he has quite the stash of knitted projects in his arsenal—no matter how many times he's fallen prey to the curse of the boyfriend sweater (or in his case, more girlfriends than boyfriends), you'll mostly find him starting up another one in his free time, usually while curled up on the couch watching his favorite movies and ugly crying whenever the saddest parts come on. (and no, despite his love of any and all Indian cinema he can possibly get his hands on, he still hasn't seen the end of Kal Ho Naa Ho. do with that what you will, but that's probably for the best.) if you ask nicely, they'll be more than happy to give film recommendations, and if you ask them what they're making? prepare to be swamped with excited chatter (and possibly fitted for measurements, just so they can go shopping for materials all over again).

ps: pls also have these full length versions of the headshot photos of Abhi, taken by Gulab when they stepped outside in the park for two seconds bc the latter insisted on taking 'proper business shots' when he visited last year—Abhi isn't wearing his hearing aid bc he forgot to put it back in after a (rather indulgent) practice session (his approach is something like this, last section), but he does come with it included sksksksk

Lesbian influencers call of wedding after cheating scandal

Popular lesbian influencers Anjali Chakra and Sufi Malik have announced their split just weeks before their planned wedding. 

In coordinated Instagram posts on Monday, Anjali and Sufi told fans that they had made the decision to split after Sufi cheated.

“I made an unrecognisable mistake of betrayal by cheating on her a few weeks before our wedding,” Sufi wrote.

“I’ve hurt her tremendously, beyond my own understanding. I’m owning up to my mistake and will continue to do so. I understand the gravity of the situation and can only ask relentlessly for forgiveness, from Anjali and Allah.”

  A post shared by Sufi Malik (@sufi.sun)

In her own post, Anjali also acknowledged the infidelity.

“What we have shared has been so full of love and nothing short of magical — I will choose to remember it this way.”

“Since the beginning, your outpouring of love and support has played such a special part in our journey and we will continue to carry that love with us moving forward.

“This may come as a shock but our journey is now shifting. We have decided to call off our wedding and end our relationship due to infidelity committed by Sufi.”

However, she also write that she wishes for “absolutely no negativity to be shown towards Sufi,” and for her followers to “respect this difficult decision.”

Who are Sufi Malik and Anjali Chakra?

The couple first gained a following back in 2019, after a photoshoot for a South Asian designer went viral.

A tweet that photographer Sarowar shared of the shoot received over 42,000 likes, with people celebrating the photos’ depiction of a queer, South Asian, interfaith love story — Sufi is Muslim and Pakistani, and Anjali is Hindu and Indian.

The couple went viral again in the same year after sharing their one-year anniversary photo shoot.

“When we first started dating I used to let go of Sufi’s hand a few blocks before my office when she walked me to work because I was scared people would find out I was queer,” Anjali wrote.

“Fast forward a year and we spent our anniversary at my cousin’s wedding, where she met 50 members of my extended family who loved her!

“Here’s to many more years of growing in our love, together.”

Hindu Wedding Photographer: Capturing the Sacred Moments with Artistic Precision

Introduction

Hindu weddings are a grand celebration of love, culture, and tradition. For couples embarking on this beautiful journey, selecting the right Hindu wedding photographer is crucial. A photographer must not only possess technical skills but also have an understanding of the intricate customs, rituals, and vibrant energy that define Hindu weddings.

Understanding the Significance of a Hindu Wedding

Hindu weddings are a reflection of centuries-old traditions, spirituality, and the merging of two families. These weddings typically span multiple days, featuring a range of ceremonies, each symbolizing different aspects of life and marriage. Some key rituals include the Haldi (purification ceremony), Sangeet (pre-wedding celebration with music and dance), Mehndi (application of intricate henna designs), and the main wedding ceremony, which is centered around sacred rituals performed before a holy fire.

Given the grandeur and significance of Hindu weddings, every moment holds a deep meaning, and it is the responsibility of the photographer to capture these moments with sensitivity, precision, and creativity. Whether it's the bride's emotional farewell (bidaai) or the exchange of vows (saptapadi), the presence of a professional Hindu wedding photographer can turn these memories into timeless treasures.

Key Elements of Hindu Wedding Photography

A skilled Hindu wedding photographer should be well-versed in the following aspects:

Cultural Sensitivity and Knowledge of Rituals

Hindu weddings are often multi-day events, requiring a deep understanding of various rituals and their significance. An experienced photographer should be familiar with key ceremonies, such as the Kanyadaan (giving away of the bride), Mangalsutra Dharanam (tying of the sacred thread), and Sindoor (application of vermillion). This cultural sensitivity allows the photographer to anticipate important moments and be in the right place at the right time.

Storytelling Through Photography

A Hindu wedding is not just a series of rituals but a story of two souls coming together in love and unity. The photographer must have the ability to narrate this story through their lens. From candid shots during the Sangeet to the emotional moments of the bidaai, the photographs should reflect the couple's journey, emotions, and the uniqueness of their celebration.

Capturing Vibrant Colors and Intricate Details

Hindu weddings are known for their explosion of colors – from the rich reds and golds of the bridal attire to the stunning floral decorations. A Hindu wedding photographer should have an eye for capturing these vibrant hues, as well as the intricate details of the bride's jewelry, the groom's attire, and the elaborate mandap (wedding altar). Mastering lighting and composition is essential to bring out the true beauty of these elements.

Pre-Wedding and Post-Wedding Shoots

In addition to covering the wedding ceremonies, many couples opt for pre-wedding and post-wedding shoots. These shoots allow for more creative and personalized photographs, often set in scenic outdoor locations or places of personal significance. A talented photographer will use these sessions to create a visual narrative that complements the wedding story.

Candid vs. Posed Photography

While some moments in a Hindu wedding are best captured candidly – such as the bride's laughter with her bridesmaids or the groom's excitement during the baraat – others, like family portraits or couple shots, may require a more posed and composed approach. A good photographer knows how to strike a balance between the two styles, ensuring the couple receives a blend of artistic and emotionally resonant images.

Handling Multiple Events with Ease

Hindu weddings typically consist of several functions spread over multiple days. This can range from intimate family gatherings to large-scale celebrations. The photographer must manage the logistics of moving between different venues and capturing all the key moments without missing a beat.

Why Choose a Specialist Hindu Wedding Photographer?

While any wedding photographer can cover a wedding, choosing a specialist Hindu wedding photographer ensures that the person behind the camera understands the nuances of your cultural traditions. Here are some reasons to choose a photographer with expertise in Hindu weddings:

Experience with Complex Rituals

Hindu wedding rituals can be intricate and complex, often involving detailed ceremonies. A photographer with experience in Hindu weddings knows which moments are most significant and how to capture them in the best light. Whether it’s the priest reciting sacred mantras or the exchange of garlands (jaimala), every important moment will be immortalized.

Seamless Collaboration with Wedding Planners

Professional Hindu wedding photographers often work closely with wedding planners and coordinators. This ensures that the photography flows smoothly with the event timeline. An experienced photographer will know when to step in for key shots and when to be unobtrusive, allowing the ceremonies to proceed without interruption.

Cultural Sensitivity

Every Hindu wedding is unique, with traditions that may vary based on region, community, or family customs. A photographer familiar with Hindu weddings understands this diversity and will approach each wedding with the cultural sensitivity and respect it deserves.

Creative Use of Traditional Elements

Hindu weddings are filled with vibrant details – from the elaborate mandap to the intricate mehndi designs on the bride's hands. A specialist photographer will use these traditional elements creatively, incorporating them into the photographs in a way that adds depth and beauty to the images.

How to Choose the Right Hindu Wedding Photographer

Finding the right photographer for your Hindu wedding requires careful consideration. Here are some key factors to keep in mind:

Portfolio Review

Start by reviewing the photographer’s portfolio to ensure their style aligns with your vision. Look for examples of Hindu weddings they’ve covered, paying attention to their ability to capture key moments, use of lighting, and overall creativity.

Experience

Ask the photographer about their experience with Hindu weddings. Do they understand the key rituals? Can they handle the complexity of multi-day events? An experienced photographer will be able to answer these questions with confidence.

Personal Connection

It’s important to feel comfortable with your photographer, as they will be capturing some of the most intimate moments of your life. Schedule a meeting or phone call to discuss your expectations and ensure there is a good rapport between you and the photographer.

Packages and Pricing

Discuss the available packages and pricing options. Some photographers offer complete coverage of the wedding and pre-wedding events, while others may provide additional services like albums, prints, or video coverage. Make sure to clarify what is included in the package and ask about any extra costs.

References and Testimonials

Ask for references or read testimonials from previous clients. This will give you a better idea of the photographer’s professionalism, reliability, and ability to deliver high-quality results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the average cost of hiring a Hindu wedding photographer?

The cost of hiring a Hindu wedding photographer can vary depending on factors like experience, location, and the scope of the event. On average, prices can range from £1,500 to £5,000 or more for complete coverage, including pre-wedding shoots, multi-day ceremonies, and post-wedding photography.

How far in advance should I book my Hindu wedding photographer?

It is recommended to book your wedding photographer at least 9 to 12 months in advance, especially if you are planning a large wedding during peak season. Popular photographers often get booked quickly, so securing your photographer early ensures availability on your chosen dates.

What should I look for in a Hindu wedding photographer’s portfolio?

When reviewing a photographer’s portfolio, look for their ability to capture key moments, such as the exchange of vows, emotional expressions, and intricate details of the ceremony. Pay attention to their use of lighting, color, and composition, and check whether they have experience with multi-day events and different Hindu wedding rituals.

Do I need to hire a separate photographer for the pre-wedding events?

Many couples choose to hire the same photographer for both the main wedding and pre-wedding events like the Haldi, Sangeet, and Mehndi. This ensures consistency in style and allows the photographer to build a rapport with the couple and their families. Some photographers offer comprehensive packages that cover all the events.

Can I request specific shots or poses during the wedding?

Absolutely! A good photographer will welcome your input and accommodate any specific shots or poses you would like. Whether it’s a family portrait, a romantic couple’s shot, or a special moment you want to highlight, communicate your preferences with your photographer in advance to ensure they capture your vision.

Conclusion

Choosing a Hindu wedding photographer is an essential part of planning your big day. A skilled photographer will not only capture the sacred moments of your wedding but also create a visual story that reflects the love, joy, and cultural richness of your celebration. By selecting a photographer who understands the significance of Hindu wedding rituals and has experience working with diverse cultural traditions, you can ensure that every moment of your wedding is beautifully documented for you to cherish forever.
