Karan Johar faces criticism from mehendi artist Veena Nagda over claims on Alia Bhatt’s mehendi in RARKPK; says, “Be mindful” : Bollywood News

Amidst the triumph of his recent film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, filmmaker Karan Johar shared a fascinating incident involving Alia Bhatt from the movie. He disclosed that the mehendi applied to Alia during her on-screen wedding with Ranveer Singh was the same mehendi she had adorned for her actual wedding with Ranbir Kapoor. Karan Johar revealed that the wedding sequence in the film was filmed merely four days after Alia's real-life wedding with Ranbir in April. Playfully, he joked about how Alia virtually married twice in the same week. Recently, Veena Nagda, celebrity mehendi artist penned a lengthy post asserting that the two mehendi designs were dissimilar. While she refrained from mentioning Karan Johar's name directly, she encouraged individuals to exercise caution in their remarks.

Veena had shared pictures of Alia on Instagram and wrote, “We wanted to clear out the air about Alia Bhatt's mehendi in the movie Rocky and Rani ki Prem Kahaani. 1. You can clearly see her wrist is empty in the last photo which is after her wedding. For the movie we did the entire wrist design 2. We also made changes to the design on her fingers. Few other changes were made to overall design. 3. Not at all taking away any credits from the previous designer. We mentioned that we applied mehendi on the set of the movie. So we request people to be mindful before they comment. Movies work in a different manner. Hope you understand that. If you need more details, please feel free to message us. Thank you and we really appreciate your support.”
