Arjun Kapoor’s sister, Anshula Kapoor, got engaged in a traditional Gor Dhana ceremony to her boyfriend, Rohan Thakker, on 2nd October. The celebration was an intimate affair with family members in attendance. From Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor, and Sonam Kapoor to Harshvarrdhan Kapoor, everyone joined her to celebrate her big day. However, Harshvarrdhan faced criticism for his dressing choice, and he has sternly responded to it.

Harshvardhan Kapoor on his look


While the rest of the Kapoor family dazzled in festive attire, Harshvarrdhan Kapoor opted for a distinctly casual look. He wore a plain white T-shirt, loose pyjama-style pants, a relaxed black jacket, and simple footwear.



Reacting to his look, netizens wrote, “Why would anyone attend their sister’s biggest day dressed like this?” Another wrote, “Does he not own a pair of basic pants and a button-down shirt, worst case? I can’t believe traditional dress didn’t fit, so the ONLY option was this travesty.”

On Monday, Harshvarrdhan addressed the criticism online in the form of a comment on a post: "As I can see from the comments, people are concerned/curious about my choice of attire for the evening. Some formal Indian clothes were sent to me, but since I have lost a lot of weight for an upcoming art project to be shot at the end of the year, the clothes didn't fit right. With very little time left for the function and not wanting to be late, I decided to grab something basic and comfortable," he wrote.

On the work front, Harshvarrdhan last appeared in Netflix’s Thar with his father, Anil Kapoor. He is the youngest brother of Sonam Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor.

About Anshula–Rohan's engagement ceremony

After a dreamy proposal in New York, Anshula and Rohan organised an intimate engagement ceremony. While Anshula looked gorgeous in a purple embellished lehenga, Rohan looked dapper in shimmery blue ethnic wear. She even got emotional on the special day, remembering her mom.

Sharing glimpses of the moment, a part of Anshula’s note read: “02/10/2025. This wasn’t just our Gor Dhana, it was love showing up in every little detail. Ro’s favourite words have always been 'always and forever' — and today, they started to feel real in the sweetest way. A room overflowing with laughter, hugs, blessings, and the people who make our world feel full. And then, Ma’s love… quietly wrapping itself around us.”
