Their pre-wedding functions included traditional events like haldi and sangeet. One special celebration had a Broadway theme, inspired by Shazahn's late father, Padma Shri Alyque Padamsee, and her family's strong link to Indian theatre, HT reported, citing sources.
The musical evening featured retro-style performances in full theatre fashion. Shazahn, along with her sister Raell Padamsee, theatre director Quasar and her mother, planned the event. Many theatre artists and close family friends performed.
Shazahn, the daughter of singer Sharon Prabhakar and late theatre actor Alyque Padamsee, debuted with Ranbir Kapoor in Rocket Singh (2009), produced by Yash Raj Films.
