Bollywood’s biggest stars, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor tied the knot in Mumbai on April 14, in an intimate ceremony. In what was India’s most-anticipated celebrity wedding of recent years, the power couple cut the cake and raised a toast to their marriage surrounded by friends and family. Pre-wedding festivities began with a traditional Ganesh Puja at Kapoor’s Pali Hill house.
The house and other properties owned by the Kapoors, including RK Studios, were decked with warm lights for the wedding celebrations. A mehndi ceremony also took place, photos of which are doing the rounds on the internet these days. The couple wore Sabyasachi for their wedding, with Alia’s no-make-up bridal look garnering positive attention. She ditched the traditional lehenga and opted for a beautiful ivory saree, matched with a matha patti, gold jewellery by Sabyasachi Heritage Jewellery including a choker, jhumkas and bangles.
Alia and Ranbir are both among Bollywood’s best-paid actors. Both of them come from prominent film backgrounds. While Alia is the daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and actor Soni Razdan, Ranbir is the grandson of Hindi cinema legend Raj Kapoor and the son of actors Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh.
A post-wedding party was held for the newly-married couple and saw the who’s who of Bollywood in attendance. Mostly dressed in black, the guest list included family members such as Soni Razdan, Shaheen Bhatt, Neetu Kapoor, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Bharat Sahni, Karisma Kapoor, Aadar Jain, and Armaan Jain. Also part of the festivities were Shah Rukh Khan, Shweta Bachchan, Gauri Khan, Arjun Kapoor, Malaika Arora, Ayan Mukerji, and Karan Johar. The bash was held at Ranbir's Vastu apartment in Bandra.
On the work front, the couple recently finished working on their first joint acting appearance in the long-awaited Indian superhero movie ‘Brahmastra’, which is set to release later this year.
