October has been marked by love and celebration for Anshula Kapoor. The influencer and filmmaker Boney Kapoor’s daughter got engaged to her longtime partner, Rohan Thakkar, in an intimate ceremony in Mumbai, which welcomed the entire extended family, including her brother Arjun Kapoor, uncle Anil Kapoor and cousins Sonam Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor, among others. For the occasion, the bride-to-be chose a custom Arpita Mehta creation.
A striking purple bandhani lehenga, her look was not just a masterful blend of heritage and craftsmanship but also a nod to her fiancé’s Gujarati roots. Bandhani, the centuries-old tie-dye technique from Gujarat and Rajasthan, remains one of India’s most enduring crafts. Its name derives from the Sanskrit word bandh, meaning “to tie,” referring to the meticulous process of hand-tying thousands of knots before dyeing. Traditionally rendered in auspicious reds and yellows, Kapoor’s choice of purple symbolised creativity and individuality.
