Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone's Wedding Hospitality Leaves Lasting Impression on Paparazzi
In the often chaotic world of celebrity weddings, where paparazzi frequently face crowded scenes and long waits, the 2018 receptions of Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone stood out for a refreshing reason: genuine hospitality. Paparazzo Snehkumar Zala has recently shared his memories, highlighting how the couple ensured the media was treated with exceptional care, making the experience memorable for photographers.
Warm Treatment and Thoughtful Arrangements at the Receptions
As reported by The Indian Express, Snehkumar Zala told Hindi Rush that Ranveer and Deepika were consistently courteous to photographers, posing for pictures and creating enjoyable moments. He recalled, "They both behave very nicely. They pose for the paps at all the events. We have had only good moments with them. When I was new to the industry, I had gone to cover their wedding. They made sure to get clicked with the paps."
Following their Lake Como wedding, which included traditional Konkani and Sindhi ceremonies, the couple hosted multiple receptions in India. Zala emphasized the scale and care of these events, noting that the media received special attention at each one. He said, "They had hosted multiple wedding receptions, about three of them, and at each event, they treated the media extremely well. They served good food and sweets at a proper five-star hotel. The arrangements were excellent. It was too fun to cover their wedding."
Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's Wedding Also Earns Praise
Zala pointed out that another wedding that stood out for its respectful treatment of paparazzi was the 2024 union of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. He told Hindi Rush, "Similarly, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant invited the paps along with their family members to attend their wedding. We personally went and greeted them on the stage."
Their celebrations spanned several events, including pre-wedding functions in Jamnagar, a luxury cruise in Europe, and a week-long wedding in Mumbai. Special langars were set up outside Antilia for commoners for nearly a month, and paparazzi covering the festivities were also treated with respect, reflecting a thoughtful approach to media relations.
Why These Celebrations Were Memorable for Photographers
For paparazzi who often deal with disorder and extended hours at high-profile events, these two weddings offered a stark contrast by providing:
