Both the families are ardent believers of Radha Soami sect, which follows teachings of all religions. For the wedding ceremony the "Haider" star donned a Kunal Rawal-designed white kurta-pyjama and a colourful safa(turban) while Mira wore a green and pink salwar-kurta with a heavily embellished dupatta wrapped around her head. She teamed it up with a statement maang tikka on her forehead and minimal make-up.
