Alia Bhatt, who hosted the Hope Gala held in London on March 28, shared an album featuring moments from last night. Alia shared a few images of her OOTN, a few candid shots and a video in which she can be seen singing Ikk Kudi with Harshdeep Kaur. For the prestigious night, Alia wore a stunning maroon velvet gown. She completed her look with a diamond necklace. Alia also wore an off-white Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla saree for the evening festivities. FYI, Ikk Kudi is a song from the film Udta Punjab, headlined by Alia and Shahid Kapoor. Alia also sang the song with Diljit Dosanjh (who also acted in the film) for the film's music album.
Alia wrote a long note in the caption. It read, "I had the great pleasure of hosting an evening that was truly special, brimming with so much love, purpose, and hope. Thank you @mo_hotels for bringing our vision to life, and to @salaambbayorg for empowering and supporting young lives, providing them with what they need for a brighter tomorrow. HOPE GALA 2024." Alia's mother Soni Razdan wrote in the comments section, "Wonderful." Ira Dubey shared a few fire emojis. See what Alia posted here:
