Udaipur is gearing up for a spectacle, the kind that blends old-world royalty with global star power. The wedding of Netra Mantena, daughter of Ingenious Pharmaceuticals chairman and CEO Rama Raju Mantena, and Vamsi Gadiraju has already turned into one of the most talked-about events of the year. Scheduled from November 21 to 24, the four-day celebration is taking over some of the city’s most iconic venues, including The Leela Palace, Manek Chowk, Zenana Mahal and Jagmandir Island Palace. Each location has been reserved to showcase Udaipur’s regal architecture and give guests an immersive royal-era experience.
What this really means is that the city is about to play host to a remarkable blend of American billionaire luxury and Indian cultural grandeur. The wedding has drawn international attention, not only for its scale but also for the guest list that keeps expanding by the hour.
Several leading Bollywood celebrities are expected to fly in for the festivities, adding a heavy dose of glamour to the already extravagant affair. Names doing the rounds include Hrithik Roshan, Ranveer Singh, Nora Fatehi, Madhuri Dixit, Jacqueline Fernandez, Kriti Sanon, Karan Johar and Shahid Kapoor. Many of them are likely to perform at various pre-wedding events, turning the celebrations into a full-fledged entertainment showcase.
Alongside Bollywood, global personalities are also set to make an appearance. Donald Trump Jr. is reportedly among the VVIP guests, while international pop icons Justin Bieber and Jennifer Lopez have been approached for headline performances. Their presence would push the wedding into the league of rare international social events hosted in India.
The backdrop is equally ambitious. The venues have been chosen not just for their status but for their storytelling value. The Leela Palace offers lakeside opulence, Manek Chowk and Zenana Mahal bring in the grandeur of Mewar’s royal courts, and Jagmandir Island Palace sets up a surreal setting in the middle of Lake Pichola. For four days, these spaces will transform into themed celebration zones featuring rituals, dance nights, custom cuisines and high-profile gatherings.
While none of the celebrities have officially confirmed their attendance, multiple media portals have reported the names with confidence. As Udaipur prepares to welcome private jets, security entourages and an international entertainment roster, the Mantena-Gadiraju wedding is shaping up to be a headline-maker long before the rituals begin.
