The Kapoor Clan Comes Together
The pre-wedding celebrations saw the entire Kapoor family unite in festive spirit. Arjun Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor, and Shanaya Kapoor were all present, as were senior family members including Anil Kapoor and Sanjay Kapoor, marking the occasion as a full-family affair.
Arjun Kapoor Steals the Show at Chooda Ceremony
One of the more memorable moments from the festivities came during the Chooda ceremony, when a kaleera — a decorative ornament tied to the bride's bangles — fell on Arjun Kapoor. Anshula shared a clip of the moment on social media, writing: 'When the kaleera lands on your brother.. and he's happier than anyone else.'
The video showed Anshula shaking her kaleeras over her seated unmarried siblings and friends, with the ornament landing on Arjun, who was seen beaming with a broad smile and proudly showing off the fallen piece. Anshula added with a playful note: 'I've never seen anyone so committed to getting chosen by a kalira! @arjunkapoor My fav part? The Kalira that fell on him said 'smile'!'
The Significance of the Kaleera Tradition
The kaleera ceremony is a cherished pre-wedding tradition in North India, typically held as part of the Chooda ritual. The bride shakes her kaleeras over the heads of unmarried guests; folklore holds that the person on whom a kaleera falls is destined to marry soon. The moment involving Arjun quickly became the talking point of the celebration.
What's Next
With the Chooda and Mehendi ceremonies now complete, Anshula Kapoor and Rohan Thakkar's wedding festivities are expected to culminate in the formal ceremony in the coming days, with the Kapoor family set to be in full attendance.
