Actress Sonam Kapoor on Saturday, 5 July 2025, shared a series of videos from what appeared to be the mehendi ceremony of her cousin Anshula Kapoor, offering fans a rare peek into the Kapoor family's pre-wedding celebrations in Mumbai. While Sonam did not explicitly name the event, the vibrant floral decor, live tabla music, and mehendi artists at work made the occasion unmistakable.
Inside the Festivities
The clips Sonam posted captured the warm, festive energy of a traditional mehendi celebration. One video featured a tabla artist performing live, lending the occasion a classical musical backdrop. Another showed Sanjay Kapoor soaking in the celebrations alongside his son. Actress Janhvi Kapoor also made a brief appearance in the glimpses, seen sharing a warm moment at the event.
The venue was decked out in vibrant marigold garlands and colourful floral arrangements. In the background, two young girls could be seen getting intricate mehendi designs applied by artists — a hallmark of the ceremony.
Anshula Kapoor's Pre-Wedding Journey
The mehendi celebration is the latest in a series of pre-wedding festivities for Anshula Kapoor and her fiancé Rohan Thakkar. A few days prior, Rohan's family organised an auspicious Mata Ki Chowki to mark the beginning of the wedding rituals. Anshula looked resplendent at the event, with Rohan reportedly stepping in as her personal photographer, clicking pictures as she posed throughout the evening.
Notably, Sonam Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, and Rhea Kapoor were not seen in the photographs from the Mata Ki Chowki shared by other family members.
How the Couple Made It Official
Anshula and Rohan had their Goddhana ceremony in October 2024, the traditional Kapoor family ritual that made their relationship official. The couple has since been steadily building up to their wedding with a series of intimate family-centric events.
Sonam Kapoor's Personal Milestone
This comes as Sonam Kapoor is herself navigating a joyful chapter — she embraced motherhood for the second time in March 2025. She is already mother to a son, Vaayu, with husband Anand Ahuja. The actress's appearance at Anshula's mehendi marks one of her first public family outings since welcoming her second child.
