At the Diwali party, Alia was joined by her sister, Shaheen Bhatt who looked pretty in a Manish Malhotra embroidered pastel ensemble. As Alia Bhatt walked towards the festive backdrop outside Manish’s residence, her lehenga took us back down memory lane when Manish shared a series of images from Alia’s mehendi ceremony celebrating the work that went into creating this masterpiece.
Alia, the beautiful Manish Malhotra Bride’s mehendi ensemble was created with a sustainable approach, so we are not surprised that the Jigra-star chose Manish’s Diwali party to celebrate his craft and the festive season under one roof.
Approximately 180 textile patches came together to mark her momentous occasion. Alia paired the lehenga with the blouse embellished in real gold and silver nakshi and kora flowers, and vintage gold metal sequins from Kutch, Gujarat.
