Bollywood actors Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar made a stunning surprise appearance at the 79th BAFTA Awards 2026 in London, marking a memorable evening for the couple.
The highlight of the night came when Farhan’s production ‘Boong’ won the Best Children’s & Family Film, beating international favorites like Lilo & Stitch, Zootopia 2, and Arco.
Farhan kept it classic in a sharply tailored black tuxedo, paired with a crisp white shirt and a neatly tied bow tie, exuding red-carpet sophistication. Shibani complemented him beautifully in a golden satin halter-neck gown, featuring a plunging neckline, open back, and flowing train. She accessorized minimally with diamond drop earrings, soft makeup, and a relaxed updo.
The couple also attended the BAFTA Nominees’ Party, where Farhan opted for a tailored grey suit with a black shirt, while Shibani dazzled in a cream draped gown with an asymmetric neckline and cape-style sleeve. Their understated elegance and stylish choices made them one of the most talked-about duos of the night.
With the win for ‘Boong’, the duo celebrated a proud moment for Indian cinema on a global stage, cementing their presence both as a power couple and as influential figures in the film industry.
