Inside Aadar Jain and Alekha Advani’s Roka Ceremony: A New Bollywood Wedding Is On The Horizon
The duo recently announced their official engagement this September
Bollywood is once again abuzz with wedding fever, this time with the announcement of Aadar Jain and Alekha Advani’s much-anticipated Roka ceremony. Aadar is a member of the pristine Kapoor family, and Alekha, a rising star in the world of fashion and design, have captured the attention of fans and the media alike with their wholesome romance and fairytale-like union. Their Roka ceremony, a traditional pre-wedding ritual, marks the first step in what promises to be one of the most talked-about weddings of the year. Here’s everything we know so far about the charming couple and the intimate, family-centric event that has everyone talking.
What Is The Roka Ceremony? And Who Attended?
The Roka ceremony is a profoundly symbolic occasion in Indian weddings, where families come together to formally announce the couple’s intent to marry. This moment was a private affair for the newly-engaged duo, attended by close family members and friends. Held at their elegantly decorated home in Mumbai, the ceremony showcased a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity.
What made this roka ceremony truly special was the presence of their families. Aadar’s family included his relative Ranbir Kapoor and cousins Kareena Kapoor Khan and Karisma Kapoor, both of whom have been pillars of the Kapoor legacy in Bollywood.
Kareena, in particular, made headlines for her stunning outfit—a flowing, printed saree by designer Anita Dongre that perfectly balanced tradition with contemporary flair.
On the other hand, Karisma opted for a traditional black Anarkali.
Aadar Jain, the grandson of the legendary Raj Kapoor and son of actor Reema Jain, looked dapper in a light-coloured sherwani that exuded understated luxury.
Bride-to-be Alekha dazzled in a white pearly embellished ensemble by one of India’s finest designers, Tarun Tahiliani.
The duo shared stunning images from one of the dreamiest proposals. Aadar popped the question to his beau at the JW Marriott Maldives with the most serene floral decor and a sign that stated: “Marry Me.” Since then, the duo’s friends and family have been on the moon about the upcoming celebrations.
