The whirlwind romance of swimwear designer Shaleen (née Chhapkhanawala) and real estate developer Rishad Khergamwala unfolds like a comforting novel, weaving through Parsi traditions in Mumbai to the sun-kissed shores of Phuket. From the heartfelt beach vows to a sangeet that danced its way into dawn, their wedding was a symphony of love and celebration — followed by a relaxing beach party to unwind.

Shaleen, the creative force behind Flawed by Shaleen, shares the delightful tale of how they met, nurtured by shared passions for adventure and of course, their plans for the future. With meticulous planning and a touch of spontaneity, the couple embarked on a year-long journey to create a magical wedding experience, where every detail became a treasured memory etched in time. Brought to life by Magnificence Events, the new bride reveals her initial vision and reminisces the pictureperfect experience with HELLO!

Shaleen, congratulations on your wedding. Tell us how you both met and spare no details!

Our families go way back, through my uncle, though I’m from Mumbai and Rishad’s from Bengaluru (he’s even babysat me when we were kids!). Our paths crossed again in Phuket for my uncle’s 50th birthday years later and we instantly hit it off. We talked non-stop, even during my university days in the UK. During my last year there, he asked me to be with him (smiles). Sometimes you just know, right? We share a love for water and adventure and travel. That’s how our story unfolds, full of simplicity and genuine connection.

And how is married life treating you?
