Alia Bhatt shines in red saree at Durga Puja Pandal with sister Shaheen; Meets Kajol and others - PICS

Alia Bhatt made a stunning appearance at the Durga Puja pandal in Mumbai on Friday, where she was joined by her sister, Shaheen Bhatt. The sisters were spotted seeking blessings during the festive celebration, which saw several Bollywood celebrities come together. Alia, dressed in an elegant red net saree, radiated grace and simplicity, accessorized with statement earrings and minimal makeup that highlighted her natural beauty. She completed her traditional look with a neat bun, keeping her style timeless and sophisticated.

At the pandal, Alia was seen catching up with Kajol and her sister Tanishaa Mukerji, who are known for being regular attendees at Durga Puja celebrations every year. Kajol, a familiar face during this festival, was seen interacting warmly with Alia, reflecting the festive spirit of camaraderie. 

Durga Puja in Mumbai always brings together prominent names from the industry, with Rani Mukerji also being a frequent visitor to the pandal.

Just a day earlier, Alia’s husband, actor Ranbir Kapoor, visited the same pandal to seek blessings. His candid interactions with Rani Mukerji made headlines, and his picture with Ayan Mukerji’s father, Deb Mukerji, went viral on social media. The Kapoor family, like the Mukerjis, often takes part in these celebrations, highlighting the deep connections within Bollywood.

On the professional front, Alia Bhatt’s latest film Jigra hit theatres on Friday. Directed by Vasan Bala, Jigra tells the story of a determined sister, played by Alia, who embarks on a dangerous journey to save her brother, portrayed by Vedang Raina. The movie promises a mix of drama and action. Alia praised Vedang’s performance, noting his dedication and comparing his raw talent to that of Ranveer Singh. The film is produced by Dharma Productions and marks another exciting chapter in Alia’s successful career.

As always, the Durga Puja celebrations continue to serve as a melting pot for Bollywood’s biggest stars, blending tradition with star-studded glamour.
