The biggest names in Bollywood were seen dazzling last evening at fashion designer and couturier Manish Malhotra's annual Diwali party held at his Mumbai residence.
From a rare appearance by fan-favourite couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, to Bollywood royalty Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan, the gathering saw several prominent names from the industry and their families.
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan arrived together and were photographed walking in hand-in-hand. Rai Bachchan donned a red saree with an ornate gold border. Her ensemble also comprised a long heavy necklace paired with a ring and red lipstick. Bachchan was dressed in a black ensemble paired with black glasses. Their joint appearance at a public event drew attention, as netizens have noticed the two largely seen separately at industry events in recent years.
Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan graced the carpet together. Kapoor Khan arrived in a gold sequinned saree with a matching halter neck blouse. Khan maintained an understated look in a black kurta with white pants.
Manish Malhotra, host for the evening, donned an all-black ensemble with gold work and a black stole to match.
Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna arrived for the event with their son, Aarav. The family posed for photos on the carpet, matching in elegant all-white and ivory ensembles.
Janhvi Kapoor arrived for the bash in a striped gold-and-black fishtail lehenga with a matching blouse. The actor completed the look with minimal jewellery and straightened hair left open.
