While expressing appreciation to friends and well-wishers who graced the occasion, she gave special thanks to the designer who made her wedding gown, Michael Nardi, for not letting the UAE visa ban ruin her day.

Sharing a video of her dressing up in the beautiful wedding gown, the actress wrote, “Thank God for a beautiful weekend full of love and joy. Thank you to #michael5inco for making my dream wedding gown. It was a lot of hard work and patience since we were in two different countries.

“The UAE ban almost ruined it all but designer Michael Nardi whom you see in this video came to the rescue by going above and beyond to make the necessary alterations and final fittings. So huge hugs to both.

“Thank you to my dream team who worked hard to get me looking good in this gown. Love you all from the bottom of my heart.”
