Actress Rakul Preet Singh is at the top of her fashion game and the new bride dropped stunning pictures of herself, flaunting her bridal pink chooda. Rakul Preet got married in Goa on February 21 to actor-producer Jackky Bhagnani. The diva is currently enjoying being a new bride, and has shared a sneak peek of her latest photoshoot. In the photos, we can see Rakul wearing an embellished white outfit. The ensemble includes a white long sleeve blouse, and matching palazzo pants. The ‘Doctor G’ fame actress opted for a glam makeup look with glossy pink lips, kohl-rimmed eyes, thick brows, and contoured cheeks. She tied her hair in a neat ponytail.

For the jewellery, she sported a white and golden choker necklace, and matching round earrings. But it was her pink chooda, diamond ring and mehendi that stole the show. The post is captioned: “Fashion with chooda izza vibe.” She gave the tune of recently released song ‘Naina’ sung by Diljit Dosanjh, Badshah, and Raj Ranjodh from the movie ‘Crew’. Rakul and Jackky had a wedding with twin ceremonies: first, the ‘Anand Karaj’ in the Sikh tradition; and the second, a Sindhi-style ceremony, reflecting both Rakul and Jackky’s cultural backgrounds. On the work front, she has ‘Meri Patni Ka Remake’ and ‘Indian 2’ in the pipeline.

Singh, who said that she had always dreamt of being an actress, began her career in modelling at age 18 while she was still in college. In 2009 she made her acting debut in the Kannada film, Gilli, a remake of Selvaraghavan’s 7G Rainbow Colony. She stated that she signed up the film “with the aim to earn a little extra pocket money” and that she was unaware “how big south Indian films were”. She won critical acclaim for her role in the film before returning to complete her degree and compete in the 2011 Femina Miss India pageant. Apart from the People’s Choice Miss Indiatimes, she won four subtitles at the pageant including Pantaloons Femina Miss Fresh Face, Femina Miss Talented, Femina Miss Beautiful Smile and Femina Miss Beautiful Eyes.

She returned to films in 2011, featuring opposite Siddharth Rajkumar in Keratam which was released both in Telugu and Tamil languages, though critics noted that “she got very little screen time”. The film was also made in Tamil simultaneously titled as “Yuvan” with the same cast but different director. In 2012, she appeared in a supporting role in the Tamil film Thadaiyara Thaakka. In Jan 2013 she appeared in a Tamil film titled Puthagam. In November 2013 she was seen in Venkatadri Express in Telugu, the latter becoming a commercial success and earning her first Best Actress nomination at the 61st Filmfare Awards South.

In 2014, she debuted in a starring role in Hindi with Divya Kumar’s directorial debut Yaariyan, after which her third Tamil film Yennamo Yedho released.
