20 kg organic mehendi to spread cheer!

Jaipur: Nearly 20 kg of “organic mehendi” powder has been supplied from Sojat town of Rajasthan’s Pali district for Bollywood actors Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal’s wedding festivities. Kaif, 38, and Kaushal, 33, are tying the knot after dating for almost two years.

While the couple has kept mum about their relationships, according to sources close to the development, the wedding festivities -- starting with sangeet and mehendi followed by the marriage ceremony -- will be held from December 7 to 9.

Apart from the mehendi powder, 400 pieces of mehendi cones have also been sent for the couple’s wedding, scheduled to take place at hotel Six Senses Fort Barwara, Sawaimadhopur, Rajasthan.

Sojat is famous for mehendi cultivation. “We have supplied organic mehendi to the event management company for the wedding functions. We have supplied the mehendi free of cost as a gift from Sojat, Pali,” Nitesh Aggarwal, owner of the Sojat-based mehendi processing and manufacturing firm Natural Herbal, said. He said it took them almost 20 days to process the organic mehendi especially for the wedding. The couple will celebrate the mehendi ceremony with both sides of the family. -(PTI)
