As Alia went on the stage to receive the prestigious award, she bowed down and touched the floor of the stage. The actress looked beautiful in her wedding saree which was in ivory colour.

She accessorised the look with a choker neck piece, matching earrings and tied her hair in a bun, with white roses. She completed the look with a red bindi, and minimal makeup.

Alia flashed her smile for the cameras and joined hands. The actress was accompanied to the award ceremony by her husband and actor Ranbir Kapoor.

The actor was seen wearing a black outfit, and was clicking pictures of Alia, while the latter received the award. Released in 2022, 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
