Actor Alia Bhatt grabbed attention after attending the pre-wedding festivities of her close friend Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, who is all set to marry filmmaker Sharan Sharma. One of the evening's biggest highlights was Alia's energetic performance on the dance floor. Videos on social media showed the actor enjoying herself with friends as guests cheered throughout the celebrations. Apart from her dance moves, Alia also impressed fans with her elegant festive look, making her one of the most talked-about celebrities at the event.
'Maahi Ve' and 'Panwadi' performances go viral
Among the clips shared online, Alia was seen dancing to the popular Bollywood song "Maahi Ve" from 'Kal Ho Naa Ho'. She was joined by Anushka Ranjan Kapoor, sister of the bride-to-be, and actor Aditya Seal. The trio performed enthusiastically as friends gathered around to enjoy the celebrations.
Another widely circulated video captured Alia dancing to "Panwadi" with her group of friends, including Vaani Kapoor. The fun-filled performances added a lively atmosphere to the evening and became major talking points on social media.
For the occasion, Alia opted for a striking purple silk saree adorned with intricate silver brocade floral embroidery. She completed the look with a modern styling approach, arranging the pleats neatly while carrying the pallu gracefully over her arm instead of the traditional shoulder drape.
Karan Johar and Janhvi Kapoor add Bollywood magic
The celebrations also featured memorable performances from other Bollywood celebrities. Filmmaker Karan Johar recreated Salman Khan's famous towel dance from "Jeene Ke Hain Chaar Din" from Mujhse Shaadi Karoge, drawing loud cheers from the guests.
Another crowd-pleasing moment came when Karan teamed up with Janhvi Kapoor for a lively performance to "Shava Shava" from 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham'. Their energetic dance quickly became another viral highlight from the festivities, giving the event the feel of a grand Bollywood celebration.
The guest list included several well-known faces from the industry, including Janhvi Kapoor, Vaani Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, and other close friends of the couple.
