MUMBAI: Sonam Kapoor’s wedding has officially begun and we cannot help but be excited about this and have been glued to our Instagram feeds to catch the latest pictures from the event.

The first event of the wedding was a small, intimate mehndi which mostly had close family members in attendance. Veteran actor Anil Kapoor’s house was abuzz with festivities on Sunday close friends and family members thronged the house which was adorned with lights.

Sonam and her groom-to-be, Delhi-based businessman Anand Ahuja, looked adorable in pastels clad in a salmon pink sherwani. Bollywood’s fashionista Sonam looked radiant in a peach and grey ethnic outfit as she sat down for her henna.

Photographs and video snippets from the function were splashed across social media. In one photograph, Sonam is seen surrounded by four women, including Bollywood’s ‘henna queen’ Veena Nagda, as they draw out customary designs on the Veere Di Wedding star’s hands and feet.

Among the first ones to arrive at the venue were cousins Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor and Shanaya Kapoor, who were dressed in ethnic wear. Jhanvi and Khushi chose Manish Malhotra ensembles for the pre-wedding ceremony.

Also in attendance were cousins Arjun Kapoor, Anshula Kapoor and Mohit Marwah.

Sonam’s sibling Rhea Kapoor was dressed in a subtle cream ensemble, brother Harshvardhan was in a white kurta pyjama teamed with a grey Nehru jacket, and father Anil chose an all-white ethnic outfit.
