In her latest Instagram post, Prajakta Koli, aka MostlySane, captivated fans as she embraced her new role as a Nepali bride, or 'behuli.' Celebrating her marriage to longtime partner Vrishank Khanal, the actress shared intimate moments from their sunset wedding, leaving fans in awe. Now, Prajakta has revealed stunning shots from their reception, where she radiates elegance in a traditional Nepali bridal look—complete with sindoor, and it’s truly unmissable.
For the reception, Prajakta chose a breathtaking red-toned Nepalese wedding saree, a beautiful homage to her husband Vrishank's roots. The saree featured intricate golden leafy embroidery, accented with vibrant green hues, making it a perfect blend of tradition and modern glamour. Her matching blouse, with golden borders, complemented the saree effortlessly.
Adding the perfect finishing touch to her ensemble, Prajakta wore a Tilhari necklace, a symbolic Nepali mangalsutra, a gift from Vrishank. This piece of jewellery, worn by Nepali brides after the wedding, is a powerful symbol of marital status and love.
Prajakta’s look was further elevated with a bold statement choker, matching earrings, and bangles, all contributing to her royal bride look. Her makeup was soft and dewy, with a red bindi and sindoor, allowing her natural beauty to shine through. Her open hair completed the look, adding an effortlessly graceful charm.
The tilhari is a traditional mangalsutra made of small glass beads or pote strung together to create its distinctive green design. Its length can vary, ranging from a choker-style to long, flowing versions, similar to the mangalsutra worn by the actress from Mismatched, depending on personal preference. While red tilharis are the most common choice for brides, options in yellow and green are also available. The green version symbolizes fertility and life. Historically, married women in Nepal would never leave their homes without wearing the tilhari, while single or divorced women were not permitted to wear it.

Prajakta also wowed in her wedding dress, which was nothing short of a dream. She wore a soft golden-hued lehenga, adorned with delicate hand embroidery and hand-painted Parijaat flowers, which hold a special meaning as they are the inspiration behind her name. The lehenga, paired with a matching choli and dual dupatta, was a work of art created by Anita Dongre. Prajakta shared that her only wish was to not wear red for her wedding, and Anita Dongre turned her dream into reality.
The breathtaking dress was hand-crafted in Jaipur by a skilled artist, known for working with royal families, adding an extra layer of charm and history to this already enchanting bridal outfit.
Here's wishing this lovely duo a happily ever after!
