Eagle-eyed netizens wasted no time in pointing out the uncanny resemblances between Parineeti Chopra’s wedding and that of Bollywood star Alia Bhatt, who tied the knot with Ranbir Kapoor.
Parineeti Chopra and politician Raghav Chadha’s lavish pearl-themed wedding, held at The Leela Palace in Udaipur on September 24th, garnered significant attention. Parineeti, renowned for her distinctive style choices, stunned in a pearl beige lehenga crafted by the iconic Indian fashion designer, Manish Malhotra.
However, it wasn’t just the outfits that drew notice; keen observers on the internet spotted striking similarities in wedding photo poses, garlands, and even the overall wedding theme, which bore resemblance to other Bollywood actors’ nuptials, including Katrina Kaif-Vicky Kaushal, Kiara Advani-Siddharth Malhotra, Athiya Shetty-KL Rahul, and more.
This emerging trend of resemblances did not escape the notice of the public, including Hyderabad residents. The conversation gained momentum following a humorous video posted by popular Hyderabadi influencer and YouTuber, Zee Aly, who humorously pointed out these recurring similarities in various Bollywood weddings.
Zee Aly’s video, which playfully compared different Bollywood weddings, highlighted the consistent trend of similar wedding themes and poses, drawing a humorous analogy to the variety of paneer dishes. In the video, she jokingly quipped, “Paneer butter masala, paneer tikka masala, paneer lababdaar, paneer makhani, paneer dopyaza, paneer pasanda. Forget about the color; the photos look the same.” Alongside the humor, Zee Aly also playfully urged Bollywood celebrities to reintroduce the traditional and timeless red bridal color for brides in weddings.
The video quickly went viral on Instagram and sparked a wave of reactions from Hyderabad residents and beyond.
