Alia Bhatt gets emotional at BFF Akanksha Ranjan's wedding, says 'she's the glue that holds us all together'

Mumbai, July 15

Bollywood star Alia Bhatt turned emotional while delivering a heartfelt speech at the wedding celebrations of her longtime best friend, Akanksha Ranjan.

In a video shared by Akanksha Ranjan, from the wedding festivities, captured Alia speaking fondly about Akanksha and the special place she holds in their close-knit circle of friends.

Calling the bride "the glue that holds us all together," Alia praised Akanksha for nurturing unique and meaningful bonds with everyone in the group.

In her speech, Alia said, "She's the glue that holds us all together. She has the most perfect, special, individual relationship with every girl in the group and she always shows up."

The actress then revealed the moment that left her emotional during the ceremony. "Which is why today when she showed up, walking down this beautiful aisle, looking like a dream, of course I was looking at her but I first looked at Shari. Because I'm like, that's the boy she's marrying. And looking at the tears in his eyes, I was like, it's a good thing," she said.

Another touching speech came from Akanksha 's sister, actress Anushka Ranjan, who spoke about the bride's unconditional love and caring nature.

"The one thing I know about my Kancha is that she will love you with everything she has and everything she's got. And there is no greater gift than being loved by her. I think our girls can also agree to that," Anushka said.

For the uninitiated, Akanksha and Sharan Sharma tied the knot on July 11 in the presence of family members and close friends from the film industry.

Celebrities including Alia Bhatt, Athiya Shetty, attended the intimate celebrations looking their best.

Honestly, Alia's speech is so relatable. 'The glue that holds us all together' is such a beautiful way to describe a friend who genuinely cares. But I wish media would focus less on celeb weddings and more on real issues. Just saying. 😬

Omggg! Alia looking at the groom's tears is everything! 😭❤️ That's true friend who knows exactly how to capture the moment. Akansha ka wedding decor bhi top-notch hona chahiye! Wishing them all the happiness!

Kya baat hai, Alia ka emotional speech aur Anushka ka unconditional love wala line - pura vibe match! Bollywood friendships are real, not just for camera. Lekin kash inki shaadi ka menu bhi share karte. 😂

Aisi dosti sabko milni chahiye. But let's be honest - this article feels like PR fluff. Alia always gets spotlight even at a friend's wedding. Akanksha and Sharan deserve their moment, not Alia hogging headlines. Just my 2 paise.

Aww! 'The glue that holds us all together' is such a perfect line. Alia aur Anushka dono ne emotional speech diya. Aisi friends hamesha yaad rehti hai. Akansha bahut lucky hai itne pyaare logon ke saath! 💕
