From surprise roka ceremonies to international pop performances at billionaire nuptials, 2025 was a buffet of unforgettable celebrity weddings, and 2026 looks just as eventful.

Let’s dive straight into 2025’s marquee moments. This year’s biggest wedding, at least by Instagram clout and guest list, was the colossal affair thrown for Netra Mantena (daughter of US billionaire) and Vamsi Gadiraju.

Udaipur became paparazzi central as Jennifer Lopez, Justin Bieber, and even DJ Tiesto took the stage, Bollywood stars filling any downtime between sangeet and poolside brunch. If 2018 wrote the playbook, 2025 shredded it, tossed in a few Hollywood sparkles, and sent the drones up for good measure.

The lavish Udaipur wedding of an Indian-American billionaire’s daughter attracted global heavyweights such as Donald Trump Jr., Jennifer Lopez, and Justin Bieber, with Bollywood uniting in full attendance to celebrate the occasion.

On the other end of the “scale-of-spectacle,” a batch of intimate but no less glamorous domestic marriages won hearts and headlines.

Armaan Malik and Aashna Shroff’s understated wedding, set outdoors on January 4, found more real connection and reflection than many glossier, choreographed events.

The same with Darshan Raval, who married childhood friend Dharal Surelia, and Prateik Babbar, who tied the knot with Priya Banerjee on Valentine’s Day. Sometimes, less really is more.

Aadar Jain married longtime partner Alekha Advani, first saying “I do” in an intimate white wedding on a Goan beach, then hosting a traditional Hindu ceremony in Mumbai with close family and a star‑heavy Bollywood guest list.

Prajakta Koli, better known online as MostlySane, married her partner of over a decade, lawyer Vrishank Khanal, on 25 February 2025 at Orleans Farms in Karjat. She later shared dreamy, heart–soaked wedding photos with fans on Instagram.

Roka, Rumours & New Rings

2025 was also the year of engagements and offbeat celebrations. Aadar Jain and Alekha Advani’s “roka” - attended by Kapoor family royals - marked another chapter of Bollywood and business dynasties blending their guest lists. Over in the cricket world, Rinku Singh got engaged to Priya Saroj, while bowler Kuldeep Yadav celebrated with Vanshika Chaddha. TV star Avika Gor, “Balika Vadhu” surprised fans with her engagement to Milind Chandwani.

What’s remarkable? The way these newsbreaks drop: one Instagram photo, thousands of DMs, and a wedding hashtag born overnight.

All eyes, naturally, swing to 2026’s headline pairings. South Indian royalty meets Bollywood sparkle as Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda prep for a February wedding in Udaipur. Rumours swirl around Janhvi Kapoor and Shikhar Pahariya - friends-turned-intimates likely to walk the aisle.

Tara Sutaria and Veer Pahariya, both tipped for destination festivities by year’s end. Hrithik Roshan and Saba Azad? The “Greek God” of Bollywood is supposedly ready to trade family WhatsApps for wedding vows, if all goes as ‘sources say’.

Meanwhile, Tejasswi Prakash and Karan Kundra keep fans guessing, with 2026 wedding chatter on talk shows and entertainment columns alike.

This year’s star unions reminded us why the country’s marriage industry shapes both pop culture and family traditions, putting a spotlight on love that feels genuine and, at times, refreshingly unscripted.

Looking to 2026, anticipation is running high. New couples, fresh destinations, and unexpected guest lists mean the next chapter promises even more surprises, viral moments, and new norms. Whatever your screen, city, or social circle, keep an eye out.
