The intimate event, planned as a surprise by her sisters Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor, featured close family and Bollywood celebrities including Sonam Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, and Shabana Azmi. Anshula wore a custom teal-blue lehenga by Arpita Mehta inspired by Gujarat's Patola textile heritage, blending mirror work and embroidery as a tribute to her fiancé's roots.
