Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor, who married actress Alia Bhatt in a star-studded ceremony last month, joined celebrity friends, including Abhishek Bachchan and Kartik Aaryan, for a football match in Dubai on Saturday night.
The All Stars Football Club from Mumbai took on Emirates United, a team assembled from across the UAE, led by Emirati skydiver Nasser Al Neyadi and including former UAE footballer Bakheet Saad Mubarak, social media star Abdulaziz Baz, aka Bin Baz, and radio personality Kris Fade.
While the Bollywood stars, led by Bachchan, put on a good show, it was the Emirates United team who emerged victorious on the night, beating ASFC 3-0.

Abhimanyu Dassani, Karan Wahi, Shashank Khaitan, Shoojit Sircar, Shabir Ahluwalia, Samir Kochhar and Walia himself were also spotted at Mumbai airport en route to Dubai.
Actor and model Wahi shared a group photo of the team on Instagram ahead of the event, captioning it: "The Boyzzzzz in Habibi land."
Other ASFC players such as Arjun Kapoor, Tiger Shroff and Ahan Shetty were not present.
Proceeds from the star-studded match, held at the Shabab Al Ahli club's stadium in Mamzar, are going to charity Playing for Humanity, which is an initiative of GS Worldwide Entertainment, the parent company behind the celebrity football cup.
The stadium was filled with spectators cheering on their respective teams, and a troupe of cheerleaders also kept the vibe upbeat during the match.
“It was an exciting football match for us as players," said Bachchan. "Football brings people together and we are also proud to have been part of this noble initiative to help our brothers and sisters who are in need.
"We hope to be back again in Dubai for another exciting event in the future."
