She expressed, “You should celebrate the side of you that you feel is leading in that moment—whether that’s a saree, a super easy street-style vibe or an over-the-top gown. I believe the beauty of being a woman is that you can wear all these different clothes all the time. I can wear a pantsuit. I can wear a gown. One of the strongest aspects of this is that our wardrobe is so dynamic. I think that’s a great thing and one should celebrate it.”

As for Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, they tied the knots at their Vastu residence in Mumbai. On their special day, both the bride and groom coordinated beautifully in stunning ivory ensembles meticulously crafted by the renowned designer, Sabyasachi. In a departure from the conventional bridal lehenga, the actress chose to adorn herself in a hand-dyed ivory organza saree, exuding a minimalistic yet ethereal bridal aura. She looked absolutely radiant with her mangalsutra and kaleeras, which notably featured Ranbir's lucky number 8, symbolizing infinity.
