The Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh starrer ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ is making waves at the Box Office, amassing a collection of approximately Rs 109.33 crores in India. Karan Johar is basking in the triumph of his directorial comeback. In a recent statement, he claimed that the mehendi adorned by Alia Bhatt in the movie's wedding sequence is identical to the mehendi from her real-life wedding with Ranbir Kapoor.
Karan Johar asserted that the wedding sequence for ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ was filmed merely four days after Ranbir and Alia's actual wedding. However, his declaration about the mehendi has come under scrutiny.
Veena Nagda, a renowned mehendi artist, who was responsible for applying the mehendi during Alia's real wedding, has expressed dissatisfaction with Karan Johar's statement. She clarified that she had tailored the mehendi design for Alia in the film. To substantiate her assertion, she provided supporting evidence.
Veena Nagda shared comparative images of Alia Bhatt's mehendi from her real wedding and from the film. She elucidated the alterations she introduced to the mehendi for the cinematic wedding scene. Veena Nagda wrote, “We wanted to clear out the air about Alia Bhatt's mehendi in the movie Rocky and Rani ki Prem Kahaani. 1. You can clearly see her wrist is empty in the last photo which is after her wedding. For the movie we did the entire wrist design. 2. We also made changes to the design on her fingers. Few other changes were made to overall design. 3. Not at all taking away any credits from the previous designer. We mentioned that we applied mehendi on the set of the movie. So we request people to be mindful before they comment. Movies work in a different manner. Hope you understand that. If you need more details please feel free to message us. Thank you and we really appreciate your support!”
Aside from Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh, ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ also features Kshitee Jog, Anjali Anand, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Dharmendra, and other notable actors.
