New Delhi, July 13, 2026: Bollywood actress Akansha Ranjan Kapoor officially married her long-time partner, filmmaker Sharan Sharma, in a beautiful, deeply emotional garden ceremony in Mumbai on July 11, 2026. The couple, who have kept their relationship largely out of the public eye for the past four years, chose a wedding date of immense personal significance. July 11 marks the exact anniversary of the day they first started dating in 2022. Opting for an intimate civil registration over a lavish, high-profile traditional affair, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows and signed their official marriage papers in the serene garden of their residence, surrounded by their closest family members and lifelong friends.
The highlight of the intimate sunset ceremony was the deeply moving exchange of vows, which left both the couple and their guests teary-eyed. In a newly surfaced video and a series of dreamy photographs shared on social media, Akansha can be seen wiping away tears of joy as she reads her promises to Sharan. Expressing her profound love and sense of security, she told him, “I feel complete with you.” Later, taking to her official Instagram account to share the first glimpse of their special day with the world, the Guilty and Ikka actress penned a touching caption using heartfelt lyrics: “Tu na toh ghar ghar nahi lagta, tu hain toh darr nahi lagta” (Home doesn’t feel like home without you, and when you are there, I feel no fear), sealing the post with an infinity emoji.
For her special day, Akansha stunned in a romantic, timeless bridal look designed by Arpita Mehta. Ditching heavy, over-the-top lehengas, she opted for a striking red sari featuring elegant gold brocade embellishments running along the borders. Her look was beautifully understated yet resplendent, completed with layered delicate necklaces, matching earrings, traditional bangles, an intricate haathphool, and a classic maang tika nestled into a sleek, middle-parted hairdo. The groom, Sharan Sharma—celebrated for his directorial work on Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl and Mr. & Mrs. Mahi—looked dapper and complemented his bride perfectly in an elegant ivory kurta-pyjama set paired with a matching structured Nehru jacket.
The intimate union saw a star-studded turnout of Bollywood’s elite, led by Akansha’s childhood best friend and bridesmaid, Alia Bhatt. Alia was spotted cheering enthusiastically for the newlyweds alongside her husband, Ranbir Kapoor. The star-studded guest list also included high-profile film personalities such as Janhvi Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha, Karan Johar, Athiya Shetty, Ananya Panday, and Malaika Arora, all of whom gathered to bless the couple. Immediately after the wedding photos hit social media, congratulations began pouring in from the fraternity. Alia Bhatt led the internet love by leaving a string of warm sun emojis, while Ananya Panday commented, “Aw cuties!!!! Love yall ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.” Other prominent stars like Wamiqa Gabbi, Malaika Arora, and Athiya Shetty also showered the comment section with affection and blessings.
The intimate weekend celebration kicked off on Friday night with a high-energy pre-wedding sangeet party that set social media ablaze with viral dance clips. Held at 38 Manhattan, a cozy, library-inspired venue featuring rich wood and glowing chandeliers atop the St. Regis Mumbai, the party featured a strict guest list of just 120 people. For this pre-wedding bash, Akansha wore a dusty pink Manish Malhotra fishtail skirt and tube top combo, while Sharan wore a sharp burgundy ensemble—one of three custom looks gifted to him by filmmaker Karan Johar. The sangeet night turned into an unforgettable Bollywood dance-off, featuring stellar performances by the guests. Janhvi Kapoor lit up the dance floor to the track Shava Shava from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, while Karan Johar enthusiastically recreated Salman Khan’s iconic Jeene Ke Hain Chaar Din towel steps from Mujhse Shaadi Karoge. Proving to be the ultimate bridesmaid, Alia Bhatt delivered a heartwarming performance to Maahi Ve from Kal Ho Naa Ho, dancing alongside the bride’s sister, Anushka Ranjan Kapoor, and her husband, Aditya Seal.
Adding a highly personalized and relatable touch to the sophisticated weekend, the couple ensured their celebrations stayed grounded in who they are. Following hours of intense dancing and celebrating at their pre-wedding party, guests were treated to the couple’s absolute favorite late-night comfort foods—a customized 3:00 AM menu featuring hot Maggi noodles and crispy French fries. This laid-back choice perfectly mirrored the couple’s original engagement story. Sharan had previously popped the question during what Akansha thought was a grand birthday getaway to Alibaug. Despite her wanting a massive celebration, Sharan insisted on keeping it tiny. The night before the planned event, while Akansha was battling a severe allergy attack under a blanket, Sharan turned on Jack Johnson’s romantic track Angel—the exact song that later played during their wedding walk—and proposed in their pajamas. Sharan later shared that he wanted it to be straight from the heart, in their ultimate safe space.
On the professional front, both individuals are enjoying highly successful phases in their respective digital and cinematic careers. Akansha Ranjan Kapoor was recently seen delivering an impressive performance in the Netflix feature film Ikka, directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra, sharing screen space with a powerhouse cast including Akshaye Khanna, Sunny Deol, Dia Mirza, and Tillotama Shome. Additionally, she made waves for her performance in Prime Video’s popular series Gram Chikitsalaya Season 2. Meanwhile, Sharan Sharma continues to establish himself as one of modern Indian cinema‘s most reliable and emotionally intuitive commercial directors. Following their beautiful sunset ceremony and a grand wedding reception hosted in Mumbai on July 12, the newlyweds are now set to embark on an exciting new chapter of their lives together after four years of companionship.
