Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor only took 4 pheras on wedding day: Here's Why

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor had an intimate wedding at his Vastu home on Thursday.

Joined by the Kapoor and Bhatt families, the duo exchanged their vows after five years of togetherness. Interestingly, Alia's half-brother, Rahul Bhatt has revealed that the bride and groom only took 4 pheras (rounds) instead of the traditional 7 as per Hindu rituals.

Rahul told India Today, “There were not seven but four pheras at the wedding. They had a special pandit. I was instrumental in a ceremony where brothers were needed. The pandit has been with the Kapoors for many years now. So he explained the significance of each phera. Ek hota hain dharm ke liye, ek hota hain santaan ke liye (One is for faith and one os o, so it was really fascinating. We have not been exposed to this. I come from a household of multiple ethnicities. So, that was fascinating. There were not 7 pheras but 4 pheras for the record. And I was during all the 4 pheras.”

Only a few hours after the wedding, Alia turned to her social media to make her debut with husband Ranbir Kapoor on Instagram. With loved-up and PDA-filled photos, the Raazi star wrote:

“Today, surrounded by our family and friends, at home … in our favourite spot - the balcony we’ve spent the last 5 years of our relationship - we got married.”

She continued: “With so much already behind us, we can’t wait to build more memories together … memories that are full of love, laughter, comfortable silences, movie nights, silly fights, wine delights and Chinese bites.”
