Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor tied the knot on Thursday in a private ceremony at their home in Bandra, which was attended by close friends and family members.

After the wedding, Alia shared a few pictures from the ceremony and wrote, “Today, surrounded by our family and friends, at home… in our favourite spot — the balcony we’ve spent the last 5 years of our relationship — we got married. With so much already behind us, we can’t wait to build more memories together… memories that are full of love, laughter, comfortable silences, movie nights, silly fights, wine delights and Chinese bites. Thank you for all the love and light during this very momentous time in our lives. It has made this moment all the more special. Love, Ranbir and Alia (sic). ”

Alia’s half-brother Rahul Bhatt says, “It all went well. The functions were exquisite and well-managed. Both the groom and the bride looked like a prince and princess. It feels great to be a part of the Kapoor family, and I must say they are such wonderful people.”

The couple took four pheras instead of seven pheras, he says. Talking about his now brother-in-law Ranbir, Rahul says, “Ranbir is the right choice for Alia. Just like Alia knows to pick her films, she made a good choice in finding herself the right life partner. I always believe that destiny is a matter of choice, not chance.”

Rahul says he saw his father, Mahesh Bhatt, in a never-seen-before avatar. “I saw my dad in his element at the wedding (laughs!). I had never seen him in his traditional wear, going all out sporting a turban. He was very happy and having a gala time mixing and mingling with the Kapoors. Soni (Razdan) was very emotional.”
