Khaberni - Global superstar Jennifer Lopez dazzled at a legendary wedding in Rajasthan, India, after receiving $2 million for her performance, during a four-day celebration that brought together elites from Bollywood and Hollywood.
Lopez, aged 56, performed at the wedding of Indian billionaire Netra Mantina to businessman Vamsi Gadireaju in Udaipur at the weekend, following a special trip she made to headline the event, which had a total estimated cost of about $6.7 million.
During the event, Jennifer Lopez first shone in a sparkling pink saree before switching to a series of bold stage looks, starting from a fitted black suit while singing Waiting for Tonight and Get Right, followed by a shiny golden outfit, and culminating in a crystal-studded suit with high sparkling shoes.
The bride, Netra Mantina, is the heiress to a global financial and health empire and the daughter of Rama Raju Mantina, the CEO of Ingenus Pharmaceuticals and founder of several global health companies, while the groom is young entrepreneur Vamsi Gadireaju, a Columbia University graduate and co-founder of the AI-powered digital restaurant management platform Superorder, with company values estimated at around $25 million
The wedding events were held over three days in the most luxurious palaces, including Lila Palace, Zenana Mahal Palace, and the royal Jagmandir Island Palace, hosting an elite of global and local celebrities, notably Donald Trump Jr.
The festivities started with a Sangeet ceremony in the Manak Chowk courtyard of the City Palace, where Bollywood stars such as Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Janhvi Kapoor, and Varun Dhawan excelled in their musical and dance performances, while Karan Johar presented an interactive segment with the bride and groom inspired by the show "Koffee With Karan".
The wedding's dazzle was not limited to the stars alone, as a huge 15-foot wedding cake also stole the limelight, designed like a small palace adorned with domes, elephants, lions, peacocks, and flowers by luxury cake maker Bastian Blanc-Taio from Paris, inspired by the royal Rajasthani architecture.
