The run-up to Anshula and Rohan Thakkar’s 6th July nuptials is well under way, and in a way, Sonam has made the pre-wedding scene her own. A few of her more recent, colourful posts have left no doubt that the clan has put on a good time for the mehendi. It is as intimate and traditional as you would expect from this side of Bollywood.
Why the clips matter for fans
Sonam may not have put a name to it, but the writing was on the wall. You had the bright marigolds, some work in progress, and a kind of soundtrack you could almost hear through your phone. Her Stories were just what the fanbase wants: a bit of warmth, a few family faces, and an unvarnished look at what is going on.
Here is what stands out in the videos:
– Some live tabla to set the pace
– Sanjay with a smile by his son’s side
– Janhvi in on the fun
– The venue put together with plenty of marigolds
– Young ones having their hands done with fine mehendi work
Inside the decor and mood
It was a timeless sort of place, with flowers and garlands and a feel to it that was as much home as it was a ceremony. Seeing two young guests with the mehendi artists put it over the top: this was the bride’s big moment before the main event.
Family cameos you might have missed
There are a few tell-tale shots of Janhvi with the relatives and Sanjay taking it all in. Then there is the tabla player, who puts in that kind of traditional note you can’t put a finger on but can certainly sense. It makes for a close, happy atmosphere.
How the festivities kicked off
All of this is in the wake of a good start. A while back, Anshula had a Mata Ki Chowki put on by Rohan’s people. She was in fine form and he was on hand with a camera to make sure she was well-documented for the evening.
You will not find Sonam, Anil or Rhea in the pictures from that day, but it has not put a damper on things. If anything, what Sonam has put out there lately is a sign that the whole family is here for it as we get to the 6th.
Where the couple stands now
If you have been following along, Anshula and Rohan made it official with a Goddhana in October. Things have been building from there, with the family putting together a proper series of events for the wedding.
These little peeks at the mehendi are a step up in volume: the hush of a private moment giving in to something more exuberant. In every one of the frames Sonam has let us in on, you can tell the family is with it, in a modern, no-nonsense way.
Sonam’s busy season, still showing up
She has had a year of it, with a second child in March, but Sonam is not about to let the fans down. She has made room to put some of Anshula’s pre-wedding merriment in front of those who are not in the room for it.
What is to come? As the date gets nearer, the energy will only pick up. They have had the Goddhana, the blessings of the Mata Ki Chowki, and now this, with its colour and a tune or two to go with it.
In the end, the posts are about more than just checking in on a party. They show the old Kapoor dynamic: easy, unforced, and open. With the 6th July coming, that is what has the internet’s attention.
