Pre-wedding celebrations began with a qawwali night in Lucknow

A pre-wedding qawwali night was organized by Saud Rizvi, who had come all the way from Dubai to attend his cousin Ayesha’s wedding. The freezing temperatures shifted the venue from the Kothi to indoors but that didn’t put a damper on the spirit of the guests. In attendance were guests from overseas including Ghazzali Ahmad and Roshanara Khanzada who was keenly clicking pictures with Sumna Rizvi and Atiqua Farooqui.Irfan Ahmad, Atif and Maryum Rizvi, Saad Rizvi, Asim and Mohd Rashid among others were seen enjoying the melodies belted out by the troupe of Raju Qawwal.
