While the smaller, more intimate mehndi ceremony of Sonam Kapoor with very close family and friends, took place at her father, Anil Kapoor's Juhu bungalow last night, many were left wondering where were her in-laws and husband to be Anand Ahuja's family, here's the news - they will be joining the grand mehendi ceremony tonight.

Says our source from Delhi, "Tonight a much bigger mehendi ceremony will be held at a BKC apartment. There is no sangeet. And Sonams close friends like Varun Dhawan, Swara Bhasker and Pooja Shetty will be performing at the party-cum-party tomorrow night at a hotel. Anand's father Harish Ahuja is a prominent Delhi businessman and he, his wife Priya and their three children, brothers Anant Ahuja and Amit Ahuja and sister Priyadarshini have taken a chartered flight to Mumbai from Delhi at noon today. The other remaining relatives are expected to fly down tomorrow for the wedding ceremony which will be held at Sonam's maternal aunt's Bandra bungalow from 11 am onwards."

Apart from Anand's family, some of their very close politician friends also are expected to arrive in Mumbai tomorrow for the wedding. "Akhilesh Yadav, the current President of the Samajwadi Party, is said to be very close to the Ahuja family and his wife and the Anand family's other politician friends will leave from Delhi tomorrow and flow down to Mumbai on the chartered plane to attend the reception tomorrow night."

While Anand Ahuja is the founder and CEO of his fashion brand, Bhane and is also the co-founder of Veg Non-Veg, India’s first multi-brand sneaker boutique, his family is known as one of Delhi's most illustrious business families. They own Shahi Exports, which is said to be one of the biggest export companies in India.
