It was a day especially designed to get the whole family together, besides of course celebrating their love for each other. So, when brother-in-law and superstar Hrithik Roshan almost didn't make it to their 10th anniversary celebrations at the Taj Aguada in Goa over the weekend, where they renewed their vows in true Christian wedding style, Farah Khan and Aqeel Ali were naturally disappointed.
""Hrithik is a Capricorn like me, and we are the kind of people who always keep our promises. So last minute when he said he couldn't make it because of a shoot, I was very disappointed and let him know through an SMS. The next thing I know, at around 9.30pm after the ceremony, he lands up at the celebration. I was really happy, as then my entire family was there as were my pals,"" recalls Farah, who wore a beautiful white gown designed by fashion designer Manav Gangwani.
From then on, it was a full-on party! Even post the reception, despite being tired out from partying the night before at Shiro Posion, the youngsters of the bridal party moved the celebrations to Farah's cousin and actor Fardeen Khan's villa at the Taj Village. There the party went on till the wee hours of the morning, with a surprise in store for the couple.
""Zayed (Khan, her actor brother) suddenly got up and played the guitar, an instrument he's just learnt. He sang, like a true rockstar, a beautiful song especially composed for us. Hrithik and Sussanne also joined in and danced. It was fantastic!""
We know this celebration was Aqeel's gift to Farah. So, we ask, what did she gift him? ""In this day and age of divorces, I am still with him and I am truly in love with him. In fact, even in my vows this time I said 'not even in death will I part'. What more could he ask for?"" she laughs.
