Riddhima, Karishma, and Kareena come together for the Gatbandhan ritual for Ranlia's wedding!

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt's marriage was a blissful affair, with the couple exchanging vows and tying the knot on Thursday. On Friday, Ranbir's sister Riddhima Kapoor Sahni shared a glimpse of the actual 'tying the knot ceremony, also known as 'Gatbandhan.' This Hindu wedding ceremony symbolizes the bride and groom joining in a sacred bond for their entire lives.

During the 'Gatbandhan' ritual, one end of the bride's pallu or saree is tied to the groom's traditional scarf, together with a coin, a flower, whole turmeric, durva grass, and raw rice. Riddhima Kapoor, the groom's sister, and Karisma Kapoor performed the ritual for Alia and Ranbir's wedding. Kareena Kapoor Khan and Nitasha Nanda were seen standing close.

In ivory and gold, the Sabyasachi married couple looked stunning. Alia Bhatt made the official declaration on social media, sharing a set of enchanting photos and captioned it “Today, surrounded by our family and friends, at home … in our favorite spot - the balcony we’ve spent the last 5 years of our relationship - we got married. With so much already behind us, we can’t wait to build more memories together … memories that are full of love, laughter, comfortable silences, movie nights, silly fights, wine delights, and Chinese bites. Thank you for all the love and light during this very momentous time in our lives. It has made this moment all the more special. Love, Ranbir and Alia.”
