Vivek Agnihotri, a filmmaker and author, recently tweeted about people getting married just for show off amid Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha’s engagement ceremony. His tweet was seemingly aimed at the couple, and netizens reacted to it. While some agreed with Agnihotri, others criticized him for his comment.
Agnihotri is known for expressing his socio-political views on social media and news debates. He has spoken up against Bollywood and called out the corrupt practices at award functions. Despite having differences with Anurag Kashyap, Anubhav Sinha, and Swara Bhasker, he has made his place by going against the tide.
However, his recent tweet has sparked controversy and divided netizens. Some believe that he taunted Parineeti and Raghav through his tweet, while others think that he was making a general comment about the trend of people getting married just for show off.
Vivek Agnihotri tweeted last night, “People are getting married just to get wedding photos, videos and to get ‘destination wedding’ tag for show off”. – a wedding planner told me. It’s true I was in a destination wedding and someone said that the wedding photographer is going to be late and the bride fainted.”
Here is the tweet:
Netizens were convinced that Vivek Agnihotri possibly took a dig at Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha, who threw a grand bash of their engagement in Delhi yesterday.
A user commented, “Totally agree….it started right after virat Anushka wedding but theirs were so natural, authentic, and cultured, not showing off….. but now all they want is just to capture fake moments for social media….. cringe stuff. Normal people are coping them which is even worse”
Another seemingly hinted at Parineeti Chopra & Raghav Chadha’s engagement ceremony and wrote, “Every small event be it a festival or celebration has became a Bollywood movie set these days in India. The only thing people miss that actors are paid for doing that performance.”
“So next is destination wedding files? Another angle – destination wedding is big place for using corrupt money. Most of the destination weddings are outside of the country,” another wrote taking at dig at Vivek Agnihotri.
Another pointed out, “All effect of bollywood. 🤣. Middle class has suddenly got money. Now they don’t know how to use it sensibly. And starngele same couples gets divorce also in few years.”
While Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor promoted the trend of intimate weddings, we also saw couples like Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra pull off a big fat Indian wedding. And it witnessed the presence of their closest friends from the industry, including Karan Johar, Manish Malhotra, Juhi Chawla, and Shahid Kapoor. But The Kashmir Files director feels that weddings are more for photography nowadays.
