  -> Is Mubarak ho not more like an Urdu term? I may be wrong though
agree  Dr. Puneet Bisaria: this is near to the right answer, but not a perfect answer.

disagree  Shruti Nagar: while raising a toast, we always say cheers and nothing else!

  -> Well, in a typical Indian context, cheers is not used (a lot of people don;t even knwo what it means). After the wedding, people say Badhai ho or Mubarak ho. Nobody says cheers after a wedding (if we are talking of a typical Indian wedding)
