Overview

  • The couple held a private sunset ceremony in the garden of their Mumbai home on Saturday, July 11, where they exchanged vows and signed their marriage certificate in front of family and close friends.
  • They followed the ceremony with a star-studded reception in Mumbai on July 12 that was attended by numerous Bollywood figures including Sonakshi Sinha, Randeep Hooda, Bobby Deol and Jackie Shroff.
  • Akansha Ranjan Kapoor posted an Instagram montage of the wedding around July 15 that highlighted vows, toasts and guests’ emotions and has been widely reshared by media outlets.
