Wedding Bells!
When she got married in 2018, her initiative to merge the traditions of both her and her husband made headlines. She came to this decision when Oleg and she could not decide on the kind of wedding they wanted.
Diipa wanted a typical big fat Indian wedding with thousands of guests and ceremonies stretching over 10-11 days whereas Oleg on the other hand wanted an intimate and small wedding. In the end, being abroad made her homesick so she was able to convince her husband-to-be to have their wedding in India. Cause really, who can say no to a ‘Grand Shaadi’ in India?
The lovely duo decided to host their wedding in the white city of Udaipur at the Fateh Garh Palace. The wedding rituals lasted over 4 days.
Being a fashion influencer, she decided to incorporate traditional Indian heritage into western wedding looks. This caught the eye of many huge designers and she was even applauded for it. Her audience showered a lot of blessings and love upon the newlyweds.
She showed her true creativity which proves how she loves her work and her dedication towards it.
Committed To The Cause As A Lawyer
Diipa achieved a lot of success as a fashion influencer but this did not make her forget about the reason why she chose to come abroad and study law. She frequently uses her social media platforms to raise awareness about different issues like mental health, body positivity, gender equality, and more.
