Deepika looked gorgeous in Zuhair Murad’s blood-red, thigh-high slit, embellished gown with a long train. Ranveer looked dapper in a black tuxedo, styled by Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna. The couple walked hand in hand and posed for the shutterbugs.

Those in attendance included Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan Nanda, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Kareena Kapoor Khan arrived with Saif, Sara, Soha and Kunal Khemmu. Varun Dhawan came with girlfriend Natasha Dalal, Sanjay Dutt with wife Manyata, and Boney Kapoor with daughters Anshula, Khushi and Jahnvi.

Tiger Shroff attended the reception with Disha Patani. Other couples who were part of the celebrations included Raveena Tandon-Anil Thadani, Madhuri Dixit Nene-Sriram Nene, and Lara Dutta-Mahesh Bhupathi.

Shah Rukh Khan had not arrived till 1 am.

The couple had thrown a reception in Bangalore on December 21 and another in Mumbai on December 28 for family and friends.

Deepika and Ranveer dated for six years before they got married at the picturesque Lake Como in Italy. They first got married as per Konkani rituals on November 14 and then again on the 15th in an Anand Karaj ceremony.

Cupid struck them on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed “Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela” (2013). The two were later seen together in “Bajirao Mastani” (2015) and “Padmaavat” (2018).
