Ikka actor Akansha Ranjan and director Sharan Sharma tied the knot Saturday in a garden ceremony in Mumbai. Ranjan, who’s childhood friends with actor Alia Bhatt, took to Instagram to share snippets of her wedding, along with a sweet note penned for her now-husband: “Tu na toh ghar ghar nahi lagta, tu hain toh darr nahi lagta (Home doesn’t feel like home without you, I don’t feel fear with you there).”

Resplendent in a bridal red sari by Arpita Mehta, with gold brocade embellishments along the border, she exchanged vows with the filmmaker, who looked dapper in an ivory kurta-pajama set, paired with a matching Nehru jacket. Ranjan kept it simple with layered neckpieces, earrings, bangles and a haathphool, with a maang tika sitting in between her sleek middle-parted hairdo.

Ditching the traditional rituals, the couple opted for a simple registration ceremony, surrounded by their loved ones. Ranjan and Sharma, who have reportedly been together since 2022, have always kept their relationship out of the public eye, choosing to stay private until they recently made it official.

For the special occasion, Bhatt chose a royal purple sari featuring intricate gold embroidery all over and hints of neon yellow peeking through, paired with a corset blouse. Instead of draping the pallu the regular way, she carried it across her right arm for a regal look. A sleek pulled-back bun, minimal makeup, gold choker and jhumkas, Kolhapuri wedges, and a matching potli completed her look.

For the choodha ceremony, Bhatt chose a grey and gold sari with a front-tie clasp and cut-out neckline to put on kaleeras on her best friend’s wrist. A maang tika and earrings, paired with round sunglasses added to her glam.
