Alia Bhatt's Stunning ethnic avatar is the highlight of INSIDE pics from Akansha Ranjan Kapoor's reception

Akansha Ranjan Kapoor and filmmaker Sharan Sharma continued their wedding celebrations with a glamorous reception in Mumbai on Sunday, just a day after they tied the knot. The newlyweds welcomed close friends and colleagues from the film industry for an intimate yet glittering evening, with inside pictures and videos from the celebration quickly making their way across social media.

While the couple looked every bit the picture-perfect newlyweds, it was Alia Bhatt's graceful traditional appearance that also caught everyone's attention. The actor, who shares a close bond with Akansha, arrived in an elegant ethnic ensemble that perfectly matched the warm and festive mood of the evening.

Alia Bhatt's understated ethnic look steals attention

Instead of opting for a heavily embellished red-carpet outfit, Alia chose a refined and timeless traditional look. She wore a richly embroidered saree in deep charcoal and olive tones, decorated with intricate floral threadwork and mirror embellishments. Her full-sleeved blouse with a sweetheart neckline added a touch of sophistication, while a matching drape completed the ensemble.

Keeping her accessories unique, Alia skipped diamonds and instead wore oxidised silver jewellery, including a statement maang tikka and oversized jhumkas. A tiny black bindi added a classic touch. She left her shoulder-length hair sleek with a centre parting and paired it with soft, glowing makeup featuring rosy cheeks, subtle eye makeup and a nude pink lip. The overall look felt festive, elegant and effortless without taking the spotlight away from the bride.

Akansha and Sharan serve classic glamour

For their reception, the newlyweds coordinated in classic shades of gold and black. Akansha dazzled in a light gold mermaid-style lehenga by Gaurav Gupta, covered in crystal embellishments and paired with a dramatic cape. She completed her glamorous look with a sparkling choker, statement earrings and stacked diamond bangles. Her soft wavy hair and radiant makeup added to the modern bridal charm.

Sharan complemented his bride in a sharp black bandhgala teamed with matching trousers and polished leather shoes, keeping his look timeless and elegant.

The reception brought together several familiar faces from Bollywood, including Bobby Deol, Boman Irani and Sonakshi Sinha, making it a star-studded celebration. Photos and videos from the evening captured joyful moments as friends gathered to celebrate the couple's new beginning.
