First photo of Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan celebrating the mehndi festivities, a pre-wedding ceremony, with his group of boys is here.

Shared by celebrity photographer Viral Bhayani on his Instagram handle, Varun is seen enjoying his time thoroughly surrounded by his close friends Manish Malhotra, Kunal Kohli, brother Rohit Dhawan among several others who all comprise the groom squad. 

The soon-to-be-groom is seen wearing an off-white Kunal Rawal sherwani teamed with a fancy pair of sunglasses while striking a ‘cool’ pose in the photo. 

For the unversed, Varun is soon going to tie the knot with his longtime girlfriend and fashion designer Natasha Dalal. The preparations for the couple’s wedding are in full swing with the mehndi festivities already underway.

The much-in-love couple will be taking their nuptial vows on January 24 at The Mansion House, a beach resort, in Alibaug. 

On Saturday night, ace filmmaker Karan Johar will reportedly host a grand sangeet for the couple. The sangeet will be a starry-affair with performances by the likes of Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor among several others. 

The couple too will reportedly be performing on a romantic number for their special day.

Varun and Natasha, who have opted for an extremely private wedding affair on the outskirts of Mumbai, reportedly have a strict phone policy in place for the wedding festivities.

Bollywood celebrities including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Shraddha Kapoor are also expected to attend the wedding. However, the Bachchan family may not be a part of the celebrations, as per reports. 

Ever since the news about the couple’s wedding broke out, social media has been flooded with ‘#varunkishadi’ and other trends, celebrating the happy news.

Varun and Natasha reportedly knew each other since their school days. The two fell in love when they met at a music concert years later. However, the duo has always kept their relationship low-key.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Varun was last seen in his father David Dhawan’s ‘Coolie No.1’, co-starring Sara Ali Khan. The actor will be next seen in ‘Jug Jugg Jeeyo’ alongside Anil Kapoor, Kiara Advani, and Neetu Kapoor.
