Actress Aanchal Singh, best known for her role in 'Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein', has revealed the deeply personal story behind her bridal look — one rooted in a cherished memory with her mother. The actress recently married investor Mohit Chawla in an intimate ceremony in Mumbai, choosing a classic red lehenga that fulfilled a dream both she and her mother had long held.

A Mother's Wish That Became a Bridal Vision

Aanchal recalled a moment that stayed with her long after filming 'Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein'. 'I still remember my mom telling me after watching Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein, ‘I want to see you as a real bride in that beautiful shade of red one day.’ That stayed with me,' she said. The actress was clear that it was not about recreating the show's contemporary bridal costume — it was simply about that rich, timeless red she had always imagined for herself.

She added that her preference for red was never a fleeting choice. 'People have asked me whether I always knew what kind of bride I wanted to be, and the answer is yes. I never had mood boards filled with ten different colors or silhouettes. In my heart, I always saw myself as a bride in red,' Aanchal said.

Eight Hours of Customisation — Every Detail Deliberate

The lehenga was far from off-the-shelf. Aanchal reportedly spent nearly eight hours customising the ensemble — adjusting embroidery colours, redesigning motifs, refining the border, adding Banarasi fabric to the dupatta, and selecting finer craftsmanship throughout. Every element, she said, was a conscious choice aimed at creating a look that would feel timeless rather than seasonal.

'I'm a very detail-oriented person. Once I can visualize something in my head, I don't stop until I see it come alive exactly the way I imagined it. My bridal look was no different,' she said.

Temple Jewellery and Old-World Elegance

Completing the ensemble was a set of traditional temple jewellery, which Aanchal described as central to her bridal identity. 'For me, temple jewellery didn't just feel like an accessory — it felt like a part of the bridal identity I had imagined. I loved its old-world charm and the quiet elegance it brings. It has a richness that doesn't ask for attention, yet leaves a lasting impression,' she said.

She paired the jewellery with a sleek bun, fresh flowers, a tiny bindi, and classic gold accessories — a look she described as one meant to 'remain beautiful for generations,' not just trend for a season.

The Wedding and What Comes Next

Aanchal and Mohit Chawla wed in a private ceremony in Mumbai, keeping the celebration intimate. The couple is reportedly set to travel to Europe for their honeymoon. The wedding marks a significant personal milestone for the actress, who has steadily built a following since her breakout role in the Netflix thriller series.
