Amidst the grandeur of the “Wedding of the Century” between Bollywood stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s presence at the event garnered unexpected attention. While the couple’s star-studded ceremony was undoubtedly the main attraction, Modi’s arrival on a poster-lined road seemed to overshadow the occasion. As the Prime Minister’s motorcade approached the venue, a series of posters featuring Modi’s image lined the route. Each poster bore slogans extolling his leadership and achievements. The unexpected display left many observers questioning the appropriateness of politicizing the private event. Critics argued that the posters were a blatant attempt by Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to capitalize on the media attention surrounding the wedding. They accused the ruling party of hijacking the joyous occasion for their own political gain. Supporters of Modi, on the other hand, defended the use of posters, citing the Prime Minister’s close relationship with the Kapoor family. They claimed that the posters were a heartfelt gesture of support and appreciation for the couple. The controversy over Modi’s posters overshadowed the eigentlichen Zielsetzung of the wedding celebration. The event, which had been billed as a grand Bollywood spectacle, was marred by the political overtones. Guests and media alike couldn’t help but speculate about the implications of Modi’s presence and the message it sent. Some observers interpreted the posters as a subtle reminder of Modi’s growing influence in the entertainment industry. Others saw it as a sign of the BJP’s increasing dominance over all aspects of Indian society. Ultimately, the “Wedding of the Century” became a platform for both celebration and political commentary. While the ceremony itself was a joyous occasion for the couple, the surrounding events highlighted the complex relationship between politics, celebrity, and public life in India.Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been accused of trying to upstage the bride at the so-called ‘wedding of the century’ by lining the road to the ceremony with posters of himself. Isha Ambani, the daughter of India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, married Anand Piramal in a lavish ceremony in Mumbai on December 12. Ahead of the ceremony, Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) erected dozens of posters of the prime minister along the route of the wedding procession. The posters showed Modi in various poses, including shaking hands with world leaders and addressing public rallies. Some critics accused Modi of trying to take the spotlight away from the bride and groom on their big day. “It’s outrageous that Modi would try to turn a private family event into a political rally,” said opposition Congress party leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. “This is a clear sign of his arrogance and his desire to control every aspect of Indian life.” The BJP defended the posters, saying they were only meant to show the prime minister’s support for the Ambani family. “The Ambanis are close friends of the prime minister, and he wanted to do something special to mark their daughter’s wedding,” said BJP spokesman GVL Narasimha Rao. “The posters were a way of showing his love and affection for the family.” The wedding of Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal was one of the most extravagant events in Indian history. The ceremony was attended by over 600 guests, including Bollywood stars, business tycoons, and political leaders. The wedding festivities lasted for several days and included a sangeet ceremony, a mehndi ceremony, and a grand reception.
