Actress Sonam Kapoor was elegance personified as she chose to be in sync with the ‘shades of white’ dress code for her sangeet ceremony in Mumbai on Monday evening, a day before her wedding to Delhi-based businessman Anand Ahuja.
Kapoor wore a traditional dress that featured a heavily embroidered gold blouse and an ivory-gold lehenga. She matched the dress with traditional jewellery — jadau neckpiece, maang-tika and jhumkas. Her hair was neatly done up in a long braid and adorned with a white garland.
The sangeet ceremony took place at her sprawling apartment at the Sunteck Signature Island.
Several celebrities and close friends turned up at the function dressed in different shades of white.
While one of Kapoor’s close friends and co-actress of Veere Di Wedding Swara Bhaskar flaunted her beautiful Manish Malhotra designed white and golden lehenga, father Anil Kapoor and brother Harshvardhan Kapoor looked dapper in white kurta pyjamas.
Her cousins Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor, Anshula Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Mohit Marwah with wife Antara, uncle Sanjay Kapoor and Bonny Kapoor, friends including Jacqueline Fernandez, Masaba Gupta, Shilpa Shetty, Karan Johar, Rani Mukherji, veteran actress Rekha and designer Kumal Rawal were also present.
Director Farah Khan, who has a leg injury, arrived with her three children.
Though media were not allowed inside, all the guests came out and greeted photographers. Kapoor’s fans will have to make do with sneak peeks and videos shared by her friends and family on social media.
Kapoor and Ahuja are to tie the knot on Tuesday at 11am. The reception and wedding party will take place at The Leela in the evening.
