The wedding of BJP MLA Golu Shukla’s son, Anjanesh Shukla, in Indore has drawn widespread attention after videos from the ceremony went viral on X and other social media platforms. The visuals, highlighting the sheer scale and luxury of the celebrations, have sparked a broader debate on extravagance and privilege.
The viral clips showcase a sprawling venue, lavish décor and a large gathering of guests, including several prominent personalities. One widely shared video even claimed that around Rs 70 lakh was spent on fireworks alone, adding to the buzz around the event’s opulence.
Unlike many contemporary wedding setups, the venue followed a strong religious theme, featuring grand idols of Hindu deities. A large idol of Lord Shiva was placed above the main stage, where the couple exchanged garlands during the varmala ceremony.
