The Sangeet night arrived with an air of excitement and anticipation. It was the night of music, dance, and celebration before the wedding. 

The atmosphere in the grand ballroom of the mansion was electric, with vibrant lights and decorations filling the space. 

The entire area was adorned in gold, white, and deep hues of pink, creating an elegant, royal look. 

Chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting soft glows across the room, while the floor was filled with guests mingling, catching up, and exchanging excited whispers about the upcoming wedding.

Thalia had spent hours getting ready for this night. She wore a breathtaking Sabyasachi lehenga in a stunning shade of fuchsia, with intricate gold embroidery all over. 

The lehenga was fitted to perfection, with a high-waisted, flared design that made her look regal. 

Her choli was a beautifully embroidered crop top, with a deep neckline and an open back, showcasing her slender frame. 

She paired the lehenga with delicate gold jewellery, including jhumkas and a statement maang tikka. 

Her makeup was bold yet elegant, with dramatic eyes and a deep red lip that perfectly complemented the vibrancy of her outfit. 

Her long hair was styled in soft waves, cascading over her shoulders, and she wore a sheer dupatta that floated behind her.

Shubman, ever the dashing man, was dressed in a sharp kurta, a deep burgundy shade with white gold embroidery on the collar and cuffs. 

His pants were tailored perfectly, and he paired them with polished black shoes. His deep brown eyes sparkled as he took in the sight of Thalia, his gaze filled with admiration. 

His own excitement was palpable as he walked toward her.

"You look like you belong in a royal palace, baby," Shubman whispered as he took her hand, his voice low and filled with awe. 

He leaned down to kiss her cheek gently, his lips lingering on her soft skin for a moment longer than usual.

Thalia blushed, her heart fluttering in her chest. "You're not so bad yourself, handsome," she teased, her smile wide. 

"But I think you'll have to get used to seeing me looking this fabulous from now on."

"You're always going to be my queen," Shubman replied with a wink. He lifted her hand and kissed her knuckles. "No matter what, you'll always have my heart."

The Sangeet ceremony was one for the books. It started with a spectacular dance performance by the bride and groom, Thalia and Shubman. 

The two of them were a vision, their chemistry undeniable as they twirled around the stage.

The music began with a classic Bollywood track, and they swirled effortlessly to the rhythm. As they danced, their eyes never left each other. 

Their movements were in perfect sync, and the crowd was captivated.

The guests clapped along to the beat, cheering them on as they performed a combination of modern and traditional dance steps. 

The couple had practiced this routine for weeks, and it was clear that every step came naturally to them. 

The crowd hooted and clapped as they ended their performance, their smiles wide and their hearts full of joy.

"You were amazing, baby," Thalia whispered breathlessly to Shubman, her fingers brushing through his hair as they caught their breath. "I can't believe we just did that."

"You were perfect," Shubman replied, squeezing her hand. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

As the night went on, more performances filled the ballroom. Virat and Anushka performed a fun, energetic Bollywood number that had everyone laughing and clapping. 

Virat, always known for his confidence, showed off his dance moves with Anushka, while she effortlessly matched his rhythm. The couple's chemistry was on full display, and the crowd loved every second of it.

Rohit and Ritika took the stage next, their routine full of elegance and grace. The couple moved together with precision, looking every bit the power duo they were. 

Hardik and Natasa's performance was next which left everyone in awe.

Shubman, still riding the high of his performance with Thalia, cheered loudly for his teammates, loving the energy they brought to the stage.

After all the performances, the energy in the room didn't drop. The music shifted into a more upbeat, party vibe, and the entire room began to dance. 

The dance floor was packed as the DJ played a mix of Bollywood and international hits. Thalia, still beaming from the performances, pulled Shubman onto the floor, and they danced together with abandon, their bodies moving in perfect harmony.

"I think this is what I was meant to do all along," Shubman said, his voice almost lost in the thumping music as he twirled Thalia. 

"Dance with you, laugh with you, and just... be with you."

Thalia's smile was bright, her laughter infectious. "Let's just say I'm glad we're on the same team," she said, pulling him closer as they swayed together.

As the night wore on, everyone enjoyed the lively party atmosphere, with guests dancing, laughing, and celebrating the upcoming union of two people who were clearly madly in love. 

Even Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal, joined in, laughing as they stepped onto the dance floor.

The night was filled with joy, friendship, and love. And as Thalia and Shubman danced, their hearts beat in sync—both knowing they were about to embark on the most important journey of their lives, one filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

It was the kind of night that would go down in history as one of the best celebrations before the wedding of a lifetime.
