A few pictures of the Bachchan family from Shweta Bachchan Nanda's wedding held 22 years ago which are rare and unseen have been going viral ever since the designer duo Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla shared them on social media this Sunday as the celebrat 33 years of their journey in the industry.

The priceless pics feature the full family including Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bhaduri, Abhishek Bachchan and Shweta's hubby Nikhil along with his parents. Both Shweta and Navya are left amazed with the collection on designers' Instagram and have been leaving beautiful comments on the pictures.

The first picture designers duo shared, has Shweta dressed in a "spectacular floral veil and ornaments at her mehendi dressed in exquisitely intricate chikankari."

The next is a multiple-pictures post from Shweta's Sangeet ceremony and the designers thanked Jaya for sharing these with them. Doting brother Abhishek Bachchan escorts his sister to the function in the first pic. In the next one, would-be husband and wife shake a leg together. And then the full family in one frame.

Abu Jani - Sandeep Khosla caption it- "1997: ​A heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Jaya Bachchan for sharing these pictures from Shweta and Nikhil's Sangeet with us. Their wedding was the first ever event done by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla and the duo handled everything from decor to ensembles for each function for the entire Bachchan family. The Sangeet was an ode to Tradition at it's glorious best. And the ensembles a tribute to classical elegance and masterful craftsmanship. Shweta Bachchan wore a sumptuous gold brocade khinkhaab ghagra with gold zardozi vasli in a leafy tendril pattern. "It was a huge honour to have Mr and Mrs Bachchan entrust us with such an important occasion in the family. That they also gave us complete creative freedom was priceless. It allowed us to dream and execute to our hearts' content and bring to life an absolute fantasy“ - Abu and Sandeep"

And then the pics from the Wedding ceremony. Another set of pictures featuring the bride-groom with Amitabh and Jaya also featuring in one.

Caption reads - "1997: More from the spectacular wedding of Shweta Bachchan and Nikhil Nanda! "Jaya is like our sister and we are like Shweta's mamas. We've known her and Abhishek since they were in their early teens, so doing this wedding went beyond work for us and it will always hold a very special place in our hearts"Nikhil and his family were very close to us and our first interiors project was redecorating their home. So this wedding meant a lot to us. It was the first event we ever got to design from end to end. We had a great time. It was a fantastic creative and emotional experience!"- Abu & Sandeep"

"The duo channeled their devotion to detail into every aspect of the fabulous arrangements. Both the couture and the decor reflected the magic of their maximalist philosophy. For the wedding ceremony, they created ensembles that were a celebration of regal grace and handcrafted embroideries. Shweta Bachchan wore a velvet ghagra and blouse in maroon. Tiny booties embroidered in resham, badla and crystals filled the lehenga. A French net dupatta with a floral border completed this deliciously romantic ensemble.  And for the mother of the bride, Jaya Bachchan, an exquisite red bandhini ghagra sari with lavish floral zardozi embroidery."

Full caption to the post - "1997: Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla designed their first ever wedding and created a new standard for celebration. For the wedding itself they broke with tradition and made white the epitome of bridal elegance! The duo dressed Shweta Bachchan Nanda in a delicate, white Chikan ensemble. Crafted in real silver and antique gota borders with Zardozi embroidery at the hem, the dress exquisitely complemented the bride’s fragile beauty. Seen with her is Jaya Bachchan wearing an entirely embroidered saree featuring Chikan jaali work in the Tagar flower motif. On her big day, Shweta mesmerized in a veil made of real flowers to complement her mother’s saree. This photograph was clicked four days before she gave birth to her daughter, Navya Naveli. "
