Bollywood star Ananya Panday has cleared the air about rumours that celebrities were paid to attend the grand wedding of Anant Ambani, son of the richest Indian businessman Mukesh Ambani, and Radhika Merchant.
The guest list for these events included Bollywood stars, Indian cricketers, social media influencers, billionaires, and political figures from around the world.
A number of reports suggested that some guests were paid large sums of money to attend the celebrations.
The ‘Call Me Bae’ actress, however, has denied these claims, saying she was there to celebrate the love of her friends, the bride and groom.
“They are my friends. I don’t understand why people think like this,” Panday said. “Obviously, I’ll dance wholeheartedly at my friends’ wedding. I love celebrating love.”
“No matter how many events there were, they greeted everyone with love and warmth,” she added.
Ananya also talked about the special connection between Anant and Radhika, saying, “Whenever they looked at each other, it was pure love. It felt like violins were playing in the background. That’s something I want in life.”
