"Today, surrounded by our family and friends, at home … in our favourite spot - the balcony we’ve spent the last 5 years of our relationship - we got married. With so much already behind us, we can’t wait to build more memories together … memories that are full of love, laughter, comfortable silences, movie nights, silly fights, wine delights and Chinese bites. Thank you for all the love and light during this very momentous time in our lives. It has made this moment all the more special. Love."

The ace designer, Manish Malhotra, revealed the outfits' further details, which included Banarasi brocades, jacquard, bandhani, and Kachha Resham knots. Alia's choice of this pink coloured ensemble indeed matched her personality and donning it, she radiated a beautiful bridal glow. Manish concluded:

"The patches are woven together using a couture technique of cross-stitches with three tar and six tar anchors. Edged in real gold zari and appliques, this handwoven silk ensemble also carries Banarasi brocades, jacquard, bandhani, Kachha Resham knots, and some scraps from brides' earlier outfits and detailing from #ManishMalhotraArchives. Every love story is unique, and @manishmalhotra05 beautifully narrates her beginning tale of a joyous forever."

On April 16, 2022, Alia Bhatt had shared a series of pictures from her mehendi ceremony on her IG handle. In some of the pictures, we could see the then-bride-to-be, Alia lost in her then-groom-to-be, Ranbir Kapoor, and together they had looked super adorable. In a few other glimpses, we could see Neetu and Ranbir dancing their hearts out, Ranbir holding a photo frame of his late father, Rishi Kapoor's portrait, and many other happy moments. Mentioning her rollercoaster ride of emotions that day, she had written:

"The Mehendi was like something out of a dream. It was a day full of love, family, our beautiful best friends, a LOT of French fries, a surprise performance by the ladkewalas, Ayan playing DJ, a BIG surprise organised by Mr. Kapoor (my favourite artist performed my favourite songs), all followed by some happy tears and quiet, blissful moments with the love of my life. There are days… and then there are days like these!"
