Renuka Vyavahare (BOMBAY TIMES; April 6, 2022)

Perhaps the most highly awaited Bollywood wedding is upon us. Ranbir Kapoor will tie the knot with Alia Bhatt in a few days from now. While various reports have been doing the rounds, a source revealed that the RK Bungalow in Chembur is in the process of being decked up for the big day. Preparations have begun at the venue.

We hear the wedding festivities will begin April 14 onward and will go on for three to four days with ceremonies following the Punjabi traditions. While the wedding date has not been confirmed yet, April 17 is said to be the big day. The families have been tight lipped about the ceremony.

A glorious heritage of the RK legacy, the house has been chosen as the venue for a reason. “Family means the world for the Kapoors. It is perhaps the last Kapoor shaadi from this generation, which is why they wanted to keep it close to their roots,” said a source.

The lavish bungalow has a sprawling lawn and is big enough to accommodate friends and family for the wedding. While the invitations haven’t gone out as yet, people have been informed in advance. We hear the guest list strictly comprises close friends and family. In a moving gesture, Ranbir has ensured all the technicians he has worked with over the years, including his hair and make-up artistes, spot boys and assistants are on the guest list as well. Best friend Ayan Mukerji, Karan Johar, Aditya Roy Kapur are bound to be there. Vicky Kaushal has been a close friend of Ranbir, too, so Vicky and Katrina Kaif, and Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone are likely to be invited, too, among others.

As per the latest reports, actor couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt might tie the knot on April 17. The wedding date has been set keeping Bhatt’s maternal grandfather’s fragile health in mind, reported ETimes.

The online portal quoted a source as saying, “Alia’s grandfather N Razdan wanted to see her getting married to Ranbir. Mr Razdan has also grown quite fond of Ranbir and loves him a lot. A hush-hush wedding has, thus, been planned for April 17. It will be a close-knit family affair. The ceremony will be held at RK Studios and nothing extravagant has been planned yet.”

Another report in India Today stated that Kapoor will throw a bachelor party. Actors Arjun Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur and filmmaker Ayan Mukerji are likely to be in attendance.
