Aishwarya Rai Bachchan looked every bit of the diva at the event at Antilia, the Ambani’s 27-floor private home in South Mumbai. Decked in a sari with gold floral motifs while husband Abhishek Bachchan opted for a black sherwani, the duo attended the event with their daughter Aaradhya, who was wearing a red and golden lehenga.

Alia Bhatt, Shraddha Kapoor, Sara Tendulkar, Rekha, Sara Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji looked stunning in their traditiona­l outfits.
