Another wedding is in town and this time it is Rishabh Pant's sister's wedding. What makes this wedding special is Rishabh Pant's commitment to family post his team's victorious win against New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy.
Several videos are going viral on social media. In one of the videos, Pant is seen grooving to popular Bollywood track "Badan pe sitare lapete hue" with his mother, sister Sakshi, and her to-be-husband Ankit Chaudhary.
The wedding, which is being held in Dehradun, has cricket legends like MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina in attendance. Cricketer Nitish Rana's wife Sacchi Marwah has also shared few pictures of the event. "Too much to celebrate," she wrote on Instagram.


In Indian weddings, a brother plays a pivotal role in his sister’s marriage, embodying love, responsibility, and tradition. His duties span emotional, financial, and ceremonial aspects, making him an integral part of the celebration.
In Indian weddings, a brother is not just a sibling but a pillar of strength, a guardian, and a joyful companion, making his sister’s special day even more memorable.
In many cultures, brothers perform key rituals like the Kanyadaan. Another significant moment is the Pheras, where the brother supports the sister by offering rice or flowers into the sacred fire, symbolizing his blessings for her new life.
Beyond rituals, a brother has several other things to do in a wedding like managing logistics and welcoming guests to ensuring everything runs smoothly, his presence is indispensable. In some families, he also contributes financially, easing the burden on parents. The Baraat (groom’s procession) is another high-energy moment where the brother ensures a grand welcome for the groom’s family, often leading the celebration with music and dance.
One of the most emotional traditions is the Vidaai, where the brother helps bid farewell to his sister as she leaves her parental home. Carrying her to the car or walking beside her, he reassures her that she will always have a strong support system.
