Bigg Boss 16 star Sreejita De recently tied the knot with her longtime partner Michael Blohm-Pape, celebrating their love through traditional Bengali wedding ceremonies. This joyous occasion took place after the couple first exchanged vows during a Catholic ceremony in Germany last year. The scintillate Bengali wedding was held on November 10, 2024, at the charming destination of Goa, which holds sentimental value for the couple, as they had created beautiful memories there during the lockdown.
Details of Sreejita’s latest nuptials have captivated fans across social media platforms, especially Instagram, where the actress shared snippets from her pre-wedding events, including Mehendi, Haldi, and Sangeet. Each event set the stage for the grand wedding, allowing family and friends to partake in the couple's shared joy.
On her special day, Sreejita dazzled as the Bengali bride, donning a radiant red Banarasi saree embellished with elaborate golden embroidery. Completing her bridal ensemble, she adorned herself with traditional jadau gold jewelry, comprising chooda bangles, and statement chokers, which highlighted her radiant beauty. The makeup choices were soft and elegant, featuring classic touches like the traditional bindi, and her hair was neatly styled with flowers woven in, resembling the classic bridal look of Bengali tradition.
Meanwhile, Michael Blohm-Pape complemented his bride's gorgeous attire with his own traditional ensemble—a peach kurta paired with jacket and pyjama, topped off with the decorative topor (mukut) which is often worn during such ceremonies. Together, they made for a stunning couple, capturing the hearts of their guests and followers alike.
A particularly touching moment shared on social media was when Michael applied sindoor to Sreejita's maang (parting), showcasing their deep affection and commitment to one another. He even made quite the entrance on his scooter—a cheerful nod to both their fun personalities along with the celebratory spirit of their big day.
The wedding celebration lifted off with Sreejita joyfully dancing beneath the vibrant phoolon-ki-chadar, participating fully with traditional Bengali wedding rituals; the couple's laughter and love were palpable as they shared tender moments together. Their wedding album is rich with beautiful shots depicting the couple's romance and the joyous atmosphere of their celebrations.
Sreejita De thoughtfully reflected on the significance of holding both Christian and Bengali weddings, expressing how important it was for them to honor and celebrate their diverse cultural backgrounds. “Having created wonderful memories with our German wedding, we're now excited to relive those emotions through this Bengali wedding,” she shared, emphasizing the cultural importance behind their nuptials.
This marriage marks Sreejita and Michael’s second coming together as husband and wife, following their Catholic wedding, highlighting the couple's commitment to blending their traditions. They had been dating for several years before Michael proposed to Sreejita romantically on their trip to Paris back in 2021.
While Sreejita De has made a name for herself on television, thanks to her notable roles like Mukta Rathore in the long-running show Uttaran and appearances on other series such as Nazar and Yehh Jadu Hai Jinn Ka, Michael keeps his professional life more private. They maintain a social media presence, documenting moments and milestones along their shared path, allowing admirers to connect with their love story.
With Sreejita De's charming wedding, fans are not just treated to glimpses of her life; they also resonate with the sentimental joys of love, cultures intertwining, and the beautiful narrative of two lives celebrated through enduring traditions. This chic and culturally rich affair stands not just as a wedding, but as the embodiment of love's diverse hues.
