Anshula Kapoor, popular internet personality and half-sister to Bollywood actors Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor, tied the knot with her long-time partner Rohan Thakkar today at Taj Lands End in Mumbai. Anshula looked resplendent in a coral lehenga, as she exchanged her vows with the screenwriter, who chose a brocade sherwani for the occasion.
Her bridal ensemble that brought together crafts from across India: intricate Kashida embroidery layered with rich zari work, a bandhini gharchola dupatta as a nod to the family she was marrying into, all in a palette of antique rose, blush and muted gold, and finished with delicate Phulkari borders as a tribute to her Punjabi roots.
“There was only one thing I knew I wanted to carry with me when I became a bride – my mom’s 42-year-old gold tissue & zardozi dupatta. Everything else was built around it. On a day that marked the beginning of a new family, it felt right to be wrapped in the one that raised me first,” she mentioned in the caption of her Instagram post.

Anshula and Arjun are Bollywood film producer Boney Kapoor’s kids from his first wife, Mona Shourie Kapoor, while Janhvi and Khushi are his daughters from his second wife, the late actor Sridevi.
Surrounded by siblings Arjun, Janhvi and Khushi, and cousins Sonam, Shanaya and Jahaan Kapoor, the family has been busy embracing the pre-wedding festivities, from the Mata ki Chowki to the Chooda ceremony bringing together the entire clan for a few days of unbridled laughter and joy. Here’s a quick style recap of everything the bride wore leading up to the big day:
Chooda ceremony
Anshula chose a bespoke soft sage green kurta set by Punit Balana, adorned with the designer’s signature Chandi Tilla embroidery and paired with a contemporary interpretation of the classic Patiala salwar, and a heavily embellished dupatta lends a regal finishing touch to the ensemble.
“My chooda and kalire were lovingly customized by @mrinalinichandra. Each kalira has a blessing embossed onto it – words like love, joy, and magic. As my family and closest friends tied them onto my wrists, they were wishing those blessings upon me,” Anshula shared on Instagram, adding that when a kalira falls on someone, it’s my turn to wish those very same blessings for them. “A beautiful reminder that love is meant to be shared and passed on,” she added.
Mehendi
Sisters Janhvi and Khushi came together to plan a surprise mehendi celebration for the bride-to-be, during which Anshula wore a custom Arpita Mehta ensemble inspired by the rich textile heritage of Gujarat.
“For my mehendi, I wanted my outfit to honour the family I was stepping into…@janhvikapoor and @khushikapoor planned the entire mehendi as a surprise. I knew there was a celebration – I just had no idea what they had dreamt up. Watching it all unfold, surrounded by so much love, is a memory I’ll hold onto forever,” she mentioned in the caption of her Instagram post.
The bespoke teal blue lehenga, Mehta’s first ever Patola-inspired bridal piece, was crafted in luxurious Bandhani Banarasi fabric and paired with a statement dupatta featuring handcrafted silk Patola appliqué, intricately embellished with mirror work, kasab, and cutdana embroidery. Thoughtful details included kodi shells, antique metal coins, and delicate ghungroo accents add movement and texture, reimagining the iconic geometric language of Patola through a contemporary lens.

Mata Ki Chowki
As a Punjabi girl marrying into a Gujarati family, Anshula wanted the first look of her wedding celebrations to feel connected to her roots. For her Mata Ki Chowki, she opted for a Phulkari dupatta, “long associated with love, blessings and new beginnings” and woven into Punjabi celebrations for generations. “It felt like a small tribute to my roots, and the beautiful journey that brought me here,” she shared on Instagram.
Styled by Mohit Rai, she looked radiant in a bespoke IRTH ensemble in gold, defined by ITRH Jadau and intricate handcrafted embroidery. Banarasi silk tissue brocades detailed with ghungroo, zardosi, mirror, and polki work, were paired with the handcrafted Phulkari dupatta to bring together a layered sense of culture and heritage.
