Remember the stunning pink outfit that Sonam Kapoor wore to Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal's wedding, which was held in Mumbai last month? For anyone who has seen the outfit must also remember that it had the text 'AK-OK' imprinted on it. On Friday, the actress finally quenched her fans curiosity by sharing a special post on her Instagram profile, in which she revealed that the initials 'AK' stand for her designer friend Anamika Khanna. Sonam shared a picture of herself in the same outfit and accompanied it along with an extensive note. In her post, Sonam revealed that "AK-OK" was a phrase used by Anamika Khanna's sons, who would often tell her that "everything is going to be AK-OK" after the designer "suffered through terrible illness" last yer.

Sonam Kapoor wrote: "My dear friend Anamika Khanna had gone through a terrible illness in the last year. Her beautiful twin sons Viraj Khanna and Vishesh Khanna banded together and surrounded her gave her comfort and inspiration. The common slang that is used among people is A-Ok in America. Viraj and Vishesh who just returned from America after four years in the prestigious university of Southern California, used the same term playfully with their mom when she was down, saying "mom everything is going to be AK-OK."
