The big fat wedding! | |||||||
With the wedding season beckoning, lavish dos are in the air! They have become more of a trend than a tradition to be followed! Unaccountable dough is coughed up on designer gear, mammoth sets that serve as venues, gastronomical delights and basically the khatirdari of the guests!!!
But more than an occasion it epitomizes one's social status, a opportunity for up manship!
Actors from showbiz witness these lavish nuptials quite regularly. Here's what they have to say about the green notes being pumped into it and also, how would they would prefer their special moment to be! Riya V Anandwala talks to them.

Marriage is a very personal thing. But spending shit loads of money in a way is wastage! People live in a hand to mouth situation and these bigwigs lavishly spend crores and crores of rupees. And it is also a bad show off.
My marriage, though won't be simple, but will have at least one big function. You see we marry just once⦠Shweta Gulati
It's all about living upto one's standard. People who shell out tons of rupees just for a wedding do it as their social status demands that. And yes, I won't term it as flaunting. Personally, I would go in for a quiet yet lavish wedding without spending a lot. Nigaar Z Khan
According to me marriage is a private affair and calling and everyone makes it difficult for the bride and bridegroom to have their breathing space. If one has extra money that can be saved and also, some good work can be done of it. Whenever I marry I will make it a very small function inviting those who are close to me. Unnecessarily calling people is not something I would do! Barkha Bhist Marriages are being too commercialized these days. I have heard that people call choreographers to train the couple for pheras, don't you think it's preposterous? Fashion shows and dance performances too are a vital part of these lavish weddings. I would want to follow all the customs and traditions but only with my close ones around me.

Indians are getting influenced by the western culture. In Jaan-e-man, even the engagement function was lavishly done up. There is no need though, but if one has the money then why not? I don't think it's a kind of show off. The day I marry I just want my parents and my would-be wife to be there and that's it. But yes, if my mother wants me to have a grand wedding then I would spend a fortune for it! t. |
