Shahrukh Khan and Kajol may be one of Bollywood's favorite couples. When it was time for them to portray love and romance on the silver screen, it seems to be a breeze. In the now classic film "Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge," Kajol and SRK put on the act of strangers as Kajol is to be married off to a family friend despite her love for SRK. As the festivities are under way, SRK and Kajol shine in the song "Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna" in which the lyrics talk about a bride, her lover, and all that's in-between. Will you include this classic in your wedding?
As the days build up to the wedding nuptials, the eagerness of a couple increases. Madhuri Dixit takes on this emotion in "Sajaan Sajaan" from the movie "Aarzoo." As Madhuri awaits the arrival of her love, Saif Ali Khan, she sings this song asking, 'what is taking him so long to come home to his bride who is waiting?' Madhuri, being the dancing queen that she is, twirls and spins in the song, inspiring girls today to choose this song to dance to at mehndis. Will you play "Sajaan Sajaan" at your wedding?
A friend's wedding is not only a time to party but also a great time to celebrate your friend. The quintessential song "Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai" from "Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai" is a common pick for guys and girls alike to dedicate to either the bride or the groom. The lyrics are all about fun times, a blushing bride, and a loving groom. And we can't think of a more fitting song to celebrate a wedding to. The upbeat tempo and fun-loving vibe also help make this song a winner. Do you plan on dedicating this to someone this season?
For a more modern girl, playing 'hard to get' should not be a foreign concept. Rani Mukherjee plays this role perfectly in the song "Mehndi Mehndi" from the movie "Chori Chori." Rani insisted she does not want to adorn her hands with henna because she will not be leaving her home to go to her fiancé's home. She of course is trying to convince herself not to follow what her heart may be saying. This fun game that Rani plays with her friends adds to all the fun at a wedding. Is "Mehndi Mehndi" a song you will be teasing your groom with?
