This wedding was of a Pakistani businessman who resides in Dubai and hired the services of Abdul Samad Zia for official photography.
Sharing adorable photos of the couple on the official Instapage, everyone thought it was real gold but it was actually Ayesha and Mohammed’s ‘Grand Bollywood’ night.
These fake golden bricks were actually a part of the theme of the Bollywood night, which is a parody of the popular Bollywood movie ‘Jodha Akbar’.
