Nizam's Jewels Spark Bachchan Wedding Flashback
9 May
Summary
- Abhishek Bachchan's wedding kalgi bore resemblance to Nizam's jewels.
- The Nizam's jewelry piece was recently seen at the Met Gala 2026.
- Diljit Dosanjh was denied access to the Patiala Necklace at Met Gala 2025.
Viral social media posts have reignited interest in photos from Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai's 2007 wedding. This resurfaced fascination stems from comparisons between a kalgi worn by Bachchan on his turban and a prominent jewel from the Nizam of Hyderabad's collection, which was displayed at the Met Gala 2026.
Designer duo Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla, who styled the couple's wedding, recalled sourcing exceptional jewelry for Abhishek. They noted the groom wore a Mughal tumbler bead necklace, ruby buttons on his sherwani, and other precious gems, while Aishwarya donned a gold Kanjeevaram saree with elaborate gold ornaments.
This discussion about the Nizam's jewels follows a similar controversy from the 2025 Met Gala. Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh was reportedly denied permission to wear the iconic 1928 Cartier Patiala Necklace due to museum loan restrictions, even as other attendees, like Emma Chamberlain in 2022, had access to parts of the collection. Dosanjh ultimately wore a replica.
