As actors Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt’s wedding festivities continue to create buzz, we bring you the inside scoop on all that went on the D-Day. Apart from the pheras, the pair also exchanged rings on the same day. In addition, Bhatt’s mother, actor Soni Razdan, gifted her son-in-law Kapoor with a high-end expensive watch. “It costs almost Rs. 2.50 crore,” a source tells us exclusively.

As per customs and traditions, the guests present at the wedding received Kashmiri shawls, specially picked by the bride. The source adds, “The material of these shawls was incredibly fine and everyone was in awe of it.” Another insider shares that the joota chupai ritual turned out to be quite a fun affair with Bhatt’s girl gang demanding Rs. 11.5 crores from Kapoor. “After much banter, an envelope containing Rs. 1 lakh was given to them,” the source informs.

Bhatt’s haldi ceremony took place earlier on Thursday morning, but the actor skipped the traditional chooda ritual, which requires the bride to wear the chooda for at least 40 days to a year.

“Bhatt will shortly begin filming for her next, which will most likely be her Hollywood debut alongside Wonder Woman actor Gal Gadot,” the insider shared and added, “Therefore she won’t be able to wear the chooda for the time being.”
