At Shahid, Mira’s Blockbuster Reception: Amitabh Bachchan, Kangana and A-List Guests

Shahid Kapoor’s big, fat sangeet, wedding and after-party was followed by a bigger, fatter reception gala in Mumbai which the actor and his bride hosted for his friends and colleagues from Bollywood on the night of July 12.

The reception was a star-studded affair. The guest list was staggering with A-listers including Amitabh Bachchan, Kangana Ranaut, Sonam Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Shraddha Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor, Genelia Deshmukh and Dia Mirza in attendance.

The newly-weds, who walked in hand-in

-hand, looked the picture of happiness. Shahid looked handsome in a three-piece suit by close friend Kunal Rawal. Mira looked lovely in blue and white Manish Malhotra.

Big B, who was among the first to arrive, was dapper in a black bandhgala and chatted amicably with the newly weds and Shahid’s father, actor Pankaj Kapur.

Sonam, who arrived with her father Anil Kapoor, looked stunning in a peacock blue and green anarkali. Kangana Ranaut was fabulous in pink. Alia Bhatt, who is working with Shahid in Udta Punjab and Shaandaar, looked fetching in a white and lilac Manish Malhotra lehenga.

Actresses Genelia Deshmukh and Shraddha Kapoor looked exquisite in delicately embroidered anarkalis. Dia Mirza managed to out-bling everyone else in a heavily embellished gold anarkali.

It had all the elements of a typical Bollywood film – soft lights, flowers, a dreamy setting by way of the five-star Palladium Hotel.

Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor were among the late arrivals.

Shahid Kapoor’s mother Neelima Azim and her son Ishaan Khattar were the first to arrive.

Ratna Pathak Shah, sister of Shahid’s step mother Supriya Pathak, came with her sons Vivaan and Imaad.

Designer Masaba Gupta and her husband Madhu Mantena; producers Krishika and Sunil Lulla, Shahid’s Shaandaar co-star Sanjay Kapoor, UTV’s Siddharth Roy Kapur, actors Tusshar Kapoor and Sonu Sood; Bhushan Kumar of T-Series were also present.
