Mehendi Artist Accuses Karan Johar of Not Crediting Her for Alia Bhatt's Mehendi in RARKPK; Says Be Mindful…

Veena Nagda On Alia Bhatt's Mehendi In RARKPK: Karan Johar has returned to the directorial seat after a hiatus of seven years with the recently released Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. The film stars the dynamic duo of Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh in the lead.

While the film has been making all the right kind of noises, celebrity artist Veena Nagda has taken to social media to slam the director. She has accused Karan Johar of not giving her the credit for Alia Bhatt's mehendi in Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.

Sharing a series of pictures of Alia Bhatt's mehendi in the film as well as her wedding her Ranbir Kapoor, she 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."

She further added, "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."

The explanation was provided a few days following Karan Johar's press conference regarding his recent release, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. During the conference, he disclosed that the Kudmayi song in the film was shot merely four days after the marriage of Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor in April 2022. Interestingly, the mehendi featured in the song was Alia's actual wedding mehendi.

Karan was quoted as saying, "Alia and Ranbir Kapoor got married. After four days, we shot this song. So actually Alia got married twice in a week then. One in real life, another in reel life. The mehendi, shown in the movie, was Alia's mehendi from her real shaadi. We had only darkened it. The song was shot in Jaisalmer."

Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kajani which hit theaters on July 28, has surpassed the Rs 100 crore mark at the domestic box office. The film also stars veteran Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi in pivotal roles.
