In a nostalgic turn, Bipasha Basu has recently revisited her wedding album, joining the wave of social media users declaring "2026 is the new 2016". The Bollywood actress shared a series of cherished photographs from her wedding to Karan Singh Grover, which took place on April 30, 2016. The pictures, posted on Saturday, offer a glimpse into the joyous occasion and celebrate their enduring love story.

Basu and Grover's romance began in 2015 on the sets of the film "Alone". After a year of dating, they sealed their commitment in a traditional Bengali wedding ceremony. The wedding was an intimate affair with close friends and family in attendance, followed by a lavish reception for Bollywood's biggest stars. In late 2022, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Devi. This year, on April 30, 2026, Basu and Grover will celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary.

The actress's recent Instagram post, showcasing her wedding album, is a contribution to the "2026 is the new 2016" trend sweeping social media. This trend involves users posting photos and videos from 2016, reminiscing about a time perceived as simpler and more carefree. The hashtag #2016 has gained traction, with millions of posts on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

The "2026 is the new 2016" trend reflects a broader sense of nostalgia, particularly among Gen Z, for the mid-2010s era. For many, 2016 represents a time before the COVID-19 pandemic and the constant barrage of global crises. It was a period when social media felt less overwhelming and more playful. The trend taps into a desire to reclaim the joy, creativity, and sense of community associated with that time.

The throwback wave includes revivals of fashion and beauty trends from 2016, such as choker necklaces, matte lipstick, and warm orange eyeshadow. Social media filters inspired by the era have also become popular, allowing users to recreate the aesthetic of 2016.

While Bipasha Basu enjoys her trip down memory lane, her husband, Karan Singh Grover, was recently seen in the film "Fighter," alongside Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, and Anil Kapoor. Basu has been away from films since her daughter's birth, focusing on her role as a mother. As the couple approaches their 10th wedding anniversary, Basu's wedding album share serves as a heartwarming reminder of their journey together and the enduring appeal of their special day.
