Akansha Ranjan and Sharan Sharma tied the knot in an intimate ceremony. The wedding was attended by close friends and family. Days after the wedding, Akansha shared an emotional video giving a glimpse of her big day. However, a moment that caught everyone's attention was Alia Bhatt delivering a heartfelt speech for her BFF, while Karan Johar turned emotional.
A video shared by Akansha Ranjan from the wedding festivities captured Alia speaking fondly about Akansha and the special place she holds in their close-knit circle of friends. In her speech, Alia said, "She's the glue that holds us all together. She has the most perfect, special, individual relationship with every girl in the group, and she always shows up."
The actress then revealed the moment that left her emotional during the ceremony. "Which is why today, when she showed up, walking down this beautiful aisle, looking like a dream, of course I was looking at her, but I first looked at Shari. Because I'm like, that's the boy she's marrying. And looking at the tears in his eyes, I was like, it's a good thing," she said.
Another touching speech came from Akansha's sister, actress Anushka Ranjan, who spoke about the bride's unconditional love and caring nature. "The one thing I know about my Kanchi is that she will love you with everything she has and everything she's got. And there is no greater gift than being loved by her. I think our girls can also agree to that," Anushka said.
The video also shows filmmaker Karan Johar getting emotional during the ceremony as Akansha and Sharan exchanged vows. Celebrities including Janhvi Kapoor, Karan Johar, and Athiya Shetty attended the intimate celebrations, looking their best.
For the uninitiated, Akansha and Sharan Sharma tied the knot on July 11 in the presence of family members and close friends from the film industry. In a heartwarming coincidence, the couple chose to get married on the very same date they began dating exactly four years ago, making the occasion even more meaningful.
The couple exchanged vows during a beautiful sunset ceremony held in the garden of their residence in Mumbai. Surrounded by their closest family members and friends, Akansha and Sharan promised to stand by each other forever before signing their marriage certificate in an intimate celebration.
