Atleast they are conducting this wedding in India... I'm grateful to that... Money is being spent in India and it will circulate in Indian economy... Some celebrities like Deepika and Anushka have got married in foreign countries...

Many People in India waste their 50% of wealth in wedding Nothing happens, But this dude just wasting 0.5% of his wealth and everyone is crying.

As we expect from the foreign media... whenever they have to show India, they show our poverty... it seems like India is the only country in the world where poverty exists... They think, there are no developing sectors in India, only poverty that exists...

It's their money, they can spend it however they want.
