Held on July 14, 2024, the wedding was also graced by several famous influencers who shared details about the venue, menu, and gifts provided to the guests.
Extravagant Gifts for Guests
In a recent interview, podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia and comedian Akaash Singh revealed some unique details about the wedding. The venue, Jio World Centre in Mumbai, featured several stores offering complimentary items such as Versace sunglasses and Banarasi sarees. However, not all stores provided free items, with exceptions like jewelry brands. Ranveer mentioned the vastness of the venue made it impossible to experience everything fully.
“There were shops built into the wedding set. There was a shop for Benarasi saris, but (the venue) was so big in size, it took too much even go to each (shop). There was no way you could humanly experience all of the wedding, there was that much to do.”
Ranveer Allahbadia also shared insights into the sumptuous food arrangements at the wedding.
The dessert counter alone spanned 300 meters, and there was a paan stall run by an authentic Banarasi paan vendor. The entire food setup, located on a separate floor above the wedding area, featured a diverse range of cuisines, including Japanese, French, Asian, and Italian, with Indian dishes from the renowned Dum Pukht.
It was on the floor above the wedding area. There was a floor full of food and places to eat. You enter and you see a long line, probably 300 metres, of just dessert counters. There was a pan shop, and it was run by an actual Benarasi pan shop owner. It’s like they got entire restaurants and placed them within the wedding.”
There was every cuisine that you could think of, but when it comes to Indian food, it was food from Dum Pukht, which is considered one of the best in the world. There was a Japanese stall, a French stall, an Asian stall, and an Italian stall. Any cuisine that you can think of, but it was the best restaurant serving that cuisine, set up within that buffet.”
Unique Experiences
According to a report by Zoom, the wedding also featured unique experiences like a personalized astrological reading shop, an ittar shop, and a bangle shop, adding a traditional touch to the festivities. Guests enjoyed a puppet show and a photo studio, enhancing the entertainment factor.
