Ananya Panday reveals whether Bollywood stars were paid to attend Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding

Ananya Panday is earning praise for her work in Call Me Bae. She was among the host of Bollywood stars who attended Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding festivities in July.

The actor appeared on the latest episode of The Bombay Journey with Mashable India, where she opened up about the big fat Ambani wedding and revealed whether there was any truth to the speculation that Bollywood stars were paid to attend the Ambani wedding.

What Ananya said

Ananya said, “Nahi (no)! I don’t know why logon ko aisa lagta hain. They are my friends. So obviously main doston ke shaadi me aisa hi nachungi na (I will dance like that only for my friend’s wedding right)?”

When asked if she had any takeaways from the wedding, Ananya said, “One big takeaway from the wedding was that so much was happening, but whenever Anant and Radhika would look at each other, it was just pure love. It felt like violins were playing behind them. That’s something I want in life — that no matter how much chaos is around, you and that person share that connection. Second, even the girls should have a baraat! Third takeaway would be, they made everyone feel welcome. No matter how many functions there were, they greeted everyone with so much love and warmth. That’s such a great quality because it makes everything feel very personal.”
