The wedding, held in Anand, Gujarat, was a rare and spiritually uplifting celebration as Hiral Patel tied the knot with Nikunj Joshi, a young professional associated with the healthcare sector. The celebrations were unique for their deep devotional essence, seamlessly blending cinematic grandeur with spiritual consciousness.

Creating history in Gujarat, the wedding was conceptualized on the theme of Satsang Diksha, introduced on such a grand scale for the first time in the state. The entire vision and design of the wedding were personally conceived by Sandip Patel, reflecting his belief in integrating faith, values, and cultural heritage into life’s most significant milestones.

Inspired by the teachings and spiritual legacy of BAPS (Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha), the ceremonies were conducted under the divine blessings of His Holiness Shri Mahant Swami Maharaj and His Holiness Shri Pramukh Swami Maharaj. From sacred rituals to décor and ambience, every element reflected discipline, devotion, and spiritual harmony.

The multi-day celebrations included traditional Gujarati customs such as mehndi, manglik events, sangeet nights, and vibrant garba raas, thoughtfully balanced with refined contemporary elements. Guests from the worlds of business, cinema, and healthcare came together, creating a culturally rich and elegant atmosphere.

Adding a cinematic touch to the celebrations, the couple’s love story was beautifully captured through a pre-wedding song shot against the royal backdrop of Udaipur, Rajasthan, lending a visually poetic dimension to the wedding festivities.

Hiral Patel is currently pursuing her studies in dentistry, while Nikunj Joshi continues his educational journey in the healthcare sector, symbolizing a union rooted in education, service, and shared aspirations.

The wedding was visually documented by Crazy Studio, led by Bollywood photographer Ashvin Borad, whose team captured the emotions, rituals, and grandeur of the event with remarkable finesse.

The occasion was graced by the presence of Atul Patel, Vice President of the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA), along with several eminent personalities from Mumbai and other cities, and social entrepreneur Agnelorajesh Athaide.

Concluding on an emotional and memorable note, the wedding left a lasting impression of spirituality, tradition, and unity, making it not just a family celebration but a culturally significant event.
