Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt are now officially husband and wife

The most awaited wedding of the year has attained its pinnacle as Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are now officially married. The star couple exchanged wedding vows at Ranbir's Vastu residence in the Pali Hill area of Mumbai.

The intimate wedding was done in the presence of family members and close friends, including Neetu Kapoor, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Mahesh Bhatt, Soni Razdan, Shaheen Bhatt, Luv Ranjan, Karan Johar and Ayan Mukerji, among others. 

The star couple, who has been in a relationship for over 5 years, took the plunge into a traditional Punjabi wedding ceremony. For the big day, guests arrived in colour coordinated outfits.

While the immediate family members were seen dressed their best in shades of pink, Ranbir and Alia's friends complied with the official colour palette of the wedding ceremony and arrived in shades of white and gold. Alia's bestie and possible maid of honour, Akansha Ranjan sizzled in a green saree for the celebrations.

Though the wedding ceremony has concluded, Ranbir and Alia are yet to make an official public appearance as a married couple. If reports are to be believed, Ranbir and Alia will pose as newlyweds for the paparazzi at 7 pm on April 14.

While the ceremony took place indoors, Ranbir and Alia's team distributed sweet boxes to members of the media who had assembled outside the gated complex of the Vastu residence. The pre-wedding festivities including a special pooja and mehendi ceremony were conducted on Wednesday.
