The 69th National Film Awards commenced at the Vigyan Bhavan in New Delhi on Tuesday. Alia Bhatt, who received the prestigious accolade in the Best Actress category, arrived with her husband Ranbir Kapoor. What grabbed eyeballs was the actor's sustainable decision to repeat her wedding saree for the event.
In the viral video, Alia Bhatt can be seen walking along with Ranbir Kapoor. She looked stunning in her wedding saree, however, she tweaked the look with a messy hair bun. She completed her look with an intricate choker necklace and a pair of stud earrings. Designed by Sabyasachi, she paired the ivory saree with a matching half-sleeved blouse.
