In a vibrant display of culture and camaraderie, celebrated Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana and his talented wife, filmmaker Tahira Kashyap, hosted a star-studded Diwali party at their Mumbai residence on Friday night. The event was a grand affair, drawing many prominent figures from the Indian film industry, each dressed in their ethnic best to mark the occasion.
Ayushmann, known for his captivating performances in films like ‘Article 15’, made quite an impression as he donned a striking black sherwani embellished with intricate golden embroidery. His wife Tahira, a creative force in her own right, complemented him beautifully in a multi-coloured lehenga that shimmered under the festive lights.
The guest list was as impressive as the hosts, featuring some of the biggest names from Bollywood. Filmmaker Karan Johar, known for his blockbuster hits and charismatic presence, mingled with other attendees including the talented actresses Bhumi Pednekar and Richa Chadha, who arrived with her husband, actor Ali Fazal. Each guest embraced the traditional spirit of the festival, showcasing an array of dazzling ethnic outfits.

Nushrratt Bharuccha, one of the guests who attended the soirée, shared glimpses of the lively atmosphere via Instagram. Among the clips, she joyously performs along with Tahira to well-loved Bollywood tunes, capturing the essence of the night. She also posed for a sweet snapshot with Ayushmann’s brother, the actor Aparshakti Khurana, adding to the gallery of warm, candid memories from the event.
