Why did Alia Bhatt SKIP getting papped for Anshula Kapoor's reception; her ethnic look goes viral!

Anshula Kapoor and Rohan Thakkar's wedding celebrations may have wrapped up with a glamorous reception in Mumbai, but it's an unseen guest who is now grabbing the internet's attention. While Alia Bhatt wasn't spotted by the paparazzi during the festivities, fresh inside photos and videos have now confirmed that the actor was very much a part of the couple's cocktail celebrations. Shared through Orry's latest photo dump and later by her stylist, the pictures have given fans a closer look at Alia's elegant festive style.

Inside pictures reveal Alia's surprise presence

For the evening, Alia chose a rich emerald-green saree paired with a sleeveless blouse featuring a wide scoop neckline and intricate antique gold woven motifs. The matching saree carried the same elegant detailing, while the soft-flowing pallu added balance to the structured silhouette.

She complemented the traditional ensemble with shoulder-length textured waves that gave the overall look a fresh, modern feel. Her makeup stayed understated with softly defined eyes, warm nude tones, kohl-lined lashes, natural-looking skin and a peachy nude lip colour.

Instead of layering heavy jewellery, Alia kept the styling minimal by skipping a necklace and letting her oversized antique gold jhumkas take centre stage. A tiny green bindi and a chunky gold ring completed the festive appearance, proving that less can often make a stronger statement.

Other guests

Anshula Kapoor married her long-time partner Rohan Thakkar on July 6 in an intimate ceremony attended by close friends and family. The celebrations later moved to a lavish reception and cocktail party in Mumbai, where several Bollywood celebrities marked their presence.

Celebrities including Janhvi Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar and veteran star Rekha were among the high-profile guests seen arriving in stylish outfits. Since Alia Bhatt was never photographed at the venue, many assumed she had skipped the event. However, viral inside moments shared online have now revealed that she quietly joined the celebrations, leaving fans pleasantly surprised.

Alia's work life

On the professional front, Alia Bhatt was last seen in Alpha. The action entertainer has opened to mixed responses from audiences and critics, but the actor continues to remain in the spotlight, with her latest wedding appearance once again becoming a talking point among fans.
