Janhvi Kapoor Stuns In An Archival Chikankari Anarkali For Umrao Jaan Screening
Last Updated:
Janhvi Kapoor makes a statement in a timeless chikankari ensemble from House of Kotwara, founded by Muzaffar Ali and Meera Ali.
Janhvi Kapoor embraced heritage and craftsmanship at the special screening of Umrao Jaan in an archival ensemble from House of Kotwara.
Janhvi took to Instagram and posted a reel wearing the chikankari anarkali enhanced with intricate mukesh work. Styled by celebrity fashion stylist Manisha Melwani, Janhvi's ensemble featured a ivory and beige chikankari anarkali with mukesh work and paired it with a beige intricately embroidered dupatta.
House of Kotwara is known for taking the traditional embroidery techniques and applying them in classic and contemporary silhouettes and Manisha and Janhvi together created magic with this timeless look. Draped to perfection, the embroidered dupatta beautifully draped on Janhvi by Manisha, was not only hassle free but also added a touch of regal charm to Janhvi's overall style.
Janhvi celebrated her traditional look by posting a reel on Instagram, which she dedicated to Rekha, who she lovingly calls Pedamma. Janhvi wrote: For my Pedamma #UmraoJaan the classic, in theatres all over India from tomorrow.
Another reason the chikankari ensemble adorned by Janhvi Kapoor is special is because it's from the couture label founded by filmmaker Muzaffar Ali, who also happens to be the director of the film, Umrao Jaan. Muzaffar co-founded the label along with his wife, designer Meera Ali. Janhvi's anarkali is timeless because it blends cultures and also takes inspiration from the films directed by Muzaffar Ali.
Janhvi upped her stylish look with earrings from Jagdish jewellers and rings from Jewels by Moksh. Highlighting Janhvi Kapoor's glowing skin with her artistic glam skills was celebrity makeup artist Savleen Manchanda. Bringing Bollywood drama to Janhvi's hairstyle was celebrity hairstylist Hiral Bhatia. And capturing every expression through his lens was celebrity photographer Vaishnav Praveen.
The red carpet for the Umrao Jaan screening was graced by the who's who of Bollywood, who came to celebrate the evergreen superstar, Rekha. Alia Bhatt, Tabu, Khushi Kapoor, Aamir Khan, Anil Kapoor, Vijay Varma, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Alizeh, Manish Malhotra, Nimrat Kaur, Asha Bhonsle, Tanisha Mukerji, Hema Malini, Sophie Choudry, Sunny Kaushal, Talat Aziz, AR Rahman, Mira Kapur, Vedang Raina, Nikhat Hegde, Sunil Grover, Nushrratt Bharuccha and Mahima Choudhry, among others.

Farah Khan Prepares To Welcome Kajol, But Not Without A Hilarious Twist
Last Updated: Kajol is currently busy with the promotion of the upcoming mythological horror film Maa. Farah Khan's home was buzzing with excitement. The reason? She and her cook Dilip, who have been capturing hearts on the internet with their fun cooking vlogs, invited none other than the ever-charming Kajol to their place. The house looked beautiful, the table was laid out, and Farah and Dilip eagerly waited for their guest to arrive. But that did not happen. What followed next was nothing short of hilarious. As the video began, Farah informed her cook that Kajol would soon arrive at their place. Dilip, keeping up with the fun, told her that he knew about their special guest, and that's why he had opted to dress like Shah Rukh Khan in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge with a ukulele in his hands. Right after their playful interaction, Farah told him that Kajol had arrived and then opened the main door. To their surprise, or rather shock, a woman from Kajol's PR team appeared. And as the bell rang again, with hope of welcoming the actress this time, Farah opened the door only to meet with Kajol's bodyguard. Following this, the two welcomed the 50-year-old actress's manager, social media manager, assistant, and makeup artist. With no sign of Kajol, the two were left upset as they couldn't meet Kajol. The real twist comes when the video cuts to outside the apartment, where Kajol is seen repeatedly ringing the doorbell, with no one answering her from the other side. At last, Kajol was seen screaming 'Farah" at the top of her voice, leaving everyone in splits. Farah shared the video on her Instagram account on Tuesday, June 24, captioning it, 'When Kajol came home but really didn't bechaara Dilip.. maybe he l meet her when #Maathefilm releases n she cms to celebrate on our YouTube channel #Maaintheatres27thjune." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Farah Khan Kunder (@farahkhankunder) FYI, Kajol is counting down the days until the release of her highly anticipated mythological horror film, Maa. She has been going all out for the promotion of the movie, which is scheduled to be released on June 27. Besides Kajol, the Vishal Furia-directed film features Kherin Sharma, Indraneil Sengupta, Ronit Roy, Jitin Gulati, Surjyasikha Das, Gopal Singh, Yaaneea Bharadwaj, and Roopkatha Chakraborty. As for Farah and her cook Dilip, the two have been successfully running a cooking-based show on YouTube, where they either visit or invite celebrity guests to their home. First Published:

Janhvi Kapoor channels Rekha vibes in vintage glam at Umrao Jaan screening
Janhvi Kapoor paid a stunning tribute to Rekha and the classic film Umrao Jaan at a special screening. She embodied vintage glamor in a dreamy white anarkali, styled with a unique dupatta drape reminiscent of the film's elegance. Her minimal accessories and soft, dewy makeup completed the look, honoring a Bollywood legend with grace and style. When Janhvi Kapoor goes desi, she really goes all in and her look for the Umrao Jaan re-release screening was proof. Dressed in a dreamy white anarkali, she stepped out in full vintage glam mode, clearly paying tribute to the one and only Rekha (whom she adorably calls her pedamma). The event, held in Mumbai, celebrated the timeless classic Umrao Jaan, and Janhvi showed up looking like she'd walked right out of the movie herself. Her embroidered anarkali was all kinds of graceful, with a soft, flowy silhouette and a romantic sweetheart neckline that made the whole look feel straight-up poetic. But what really took it to the next level was the way she styled her dupatta. Instead of the usual drape, she wore it almost like a jacket - beige in colour, covered in intricate handwork, and totally fitting for something inspired by the elegance of Umrao Jaan. It gave a cool twist to the classic look, adding just enough drama without going overboard. As for accessories, Janhvi kept things minimal but meaningful. She wore delicate gold jhumkas, a pretty diamond ring, and a small nose ring that tied the whole old-school charm together. The less-is-more approach worked perfectly, especially with such a rich outfit. Her makeup was soft and fresh, just the right amount of glam. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trending in in 2025: Local network access control [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Think dewy skin, a peachy flush, subtle highlighter, and nude-pink glossy lips. She added a little sparkle to her eyes with glittery eyeshadow, kohl, and fluttery lashes that gave her that 'soft glam' finish. Honestly, it looked effortless but we know that kind of effortlessness takes work. On Instagram, Janhvi shared a behind-the-scenes reel from the photoshoot, captioning it, 'For my Pedamma #UmraoJaan the classic, in theatres all over India from tomorrow.' It was sweet and personal and made her whole look feel even more meaningful. From the thoughtful styling to the way she carried herself, Janhvi truly nailed the tribute. It wasn't just another pretty outfit—it was her way of honouring a Bollywood legend, and we're here for it. Vintage, graceful, and totally Janhvi.
