Alia Bhatt turns heads in elegant purple saree, dances her heart out at bestie Akansha Ranjan's pre-wedding bash
Mumbai, July 11
Actor Alia Bhatt attended the pre-wedding celebrations of her close friend Akansha Ranjan Kapoor and filmmaker Sharan Sharma in Mumbai on Friday night.
Alia looked stunning as she arrived at the celebration in a purple outfit that turned heads.
Videos from the event have gone viral on social media, showing Alia dancing with friends during the intimate celebration. In one of the clips, Alia is seen dancing to Shah Rukh Khan's popular song "Maahi Ve" from Kal Ho Naa Ho. She was joined by Akansha's sister Anushka Ranjan and brother-in-law Aditya Seal as the trio danced to several Bollywood tracks while guests cheered them on.
For the occasion, Alia opted for a purple saree with a contemporary drape, keeping her look elegant and understated.
The pre-wedding festivities were attended by close friends and family members, including Janhvi Kapoor, Vaani Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, and several other personalities from the film industry.
Akansha Ranjan Kapoor and filmmaker Sharan Sharma are set to tie the knot on July 11, followed by a wedding reception on July 12. Reports suggest that the couple has planned an intimate wedding ceremony with only close family members and friends in attendance.
Rumours about Sharan and Akansha's relationship began after an old picture of the duo went viral. In December 2022, Sharan took to Instagram to share a photo with his rumoured partner.
Akansha, the younger sister of actor Anushka Ranjan, is known for her work in projects such as 'Guilty' and Netflix's 'Monica, O My Darling,' where she appeared alongside RajKummar Rao, Radhika Apte, and Huma Qureshi.
Meanwhile, Sharan made his directorial debut with 'Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl,' starring Janhvi Kapoor in the lead role.

Why is every little thing celebs do turned into news? She wore a saree, she danced with friends – it's a normal pre-wedding function. But I guess that's Bollywood for you. At least the purple saree choice was nice, minimal and classy.
The friendship between Alia and Akansha is so cute! 💜 Two close friends celebrating life, and Alia showed up as the perfect bridesmaid. That contemporary drape saree is giving me saree goals. Also, Maahi Ve is the ultimate wedding song! 😄
I love how Bollywood weddings are always so vibrant and full of life! Alia looked stunning in that purple saree – such a refreshing change from the usual heavy lehengas. The intimate vibe sounds lovely. Best wishes to the couple!
Waah, Alia dancing to 'Maahi Ve' is giving major desi feels! 🎉 That song is the ultimate mood lifter. But honestly, I'm more curious about the wedding – Sharan and Akansha seem like a lovely couple. Gunjan Saxena director marrying Guilty actress – nice!
Alia's purple saree is so elegant! Love how she keeps it classy without overdoing it. The pre-wedding bash looks like so much fun – the energy in the videos is infectious. Wishing Akansha and Sharan a lifetime of happiness! 💜
