The grand Bollywood wedding of Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor is finally here. The couple along with their families and close friends kickstarted the celebrations at Kapoor's erstwhile bachelor pad, ‘Vastu’. Bhatt and Kapoor began the day with a puja at the residence reportedly dedicated to Kapoor's late father, actor Rishi Kapoor.

From Neetu Kapoor, Riddhima Kapoor Sahani to the actor's aunt, Rima Jain, many members of the Kapoor family turned up for the auspicious event. Later in the day, the kapoor sisters -- Kareena and Karisma -- arrived to add glamour to the festivities. Kareena Kapoor Khan looked regal in a white lehenga, while her sister, Karisma wore a gold yellow saree. Karan Johar too was spotted at Ranbir's home today. The film-maker wore a lime-yellow sherwani for the occasion. Kapoor's other cousins, Aadar and Armaan Jain also attended the celebrations at 'Vastu'.

Media reports claim that Bhatt is likely to make an official announcement regarding the wedding on her social media soon. Today, the mehendi ritual is likely to take place according to an NDTV report as well. Coincidentally or not, 43 years ago, Neetu and Rishi Kapoor had chosen 13 April as their engagement date. The yesteryear actress recently dug out an old photo of the her engagement ceremony and shared it on social media.

The couple had been very tight-lipped about the celebrations but media reports claim that they have deviated from traditional celebrity choices. According to a Hindustan Times report, the couple had not opted for the celebrity mehendi artist, Veena Nagda, but gone with someone else. Bhatt, along with her manager Grishma Shah has also chosen a photographer who had not done any celebrity weddings before, and as for the mandap, the couple has opted for a female stage designer to decorate it.

Media reports also claim that the bride-to-be will receive a custom-made wedding band, with eight diamonds encrusted on it, because eight is a number that both Batt and Kapoor consider lucky.

The big wedding is likely to happen tomorrow, April 14, in ‘Vastu’ as well. Decorative items, shipments full of crockeries, dining tables etc have been arriving at the apartment complex for some days now, as has designer bags. The entrance view of the building has been blocked because a swarm of paparazzi has been camping outside the building for wedding photos.

The couple has been dating for four years. They began their relationship on the sets of ‘Brahmastra’, a big budget fantasy saga directed by Ayan Mukherji which stars these two stars in lead roles. This is their first film together. The movie will hit the theaters on September 9, 2022.
