The glittering event also saw cricket sensation Virat Kohli accompanying his wife, Anushka Sharma. A bevy of Bollywood stars, from Karisma Kapoor to Ananya Panday and Diana Penty, added to the star-studded affair, with Khushi Kapoor making a notable appearance ahead of her film debut.
International luminaries added their own shine to the event, with Bridgerton's Simone Ashley, Never Have I Ever's Poorna Jagannathan, and Freida Pinto gracing the occasion. Model and actress Cara Delevingne, Maisie Williams from Game of Thrones, and acclaimed British actress Naomi Ackie, renowned for her portrayal of Whitney Houston, added a touch of global allure.
