In a recent episode of "Koffee With Karan 8," filmmaker Karan Johar shared details about Aditya Chopra and Rani Mukerji's closely guarded wedding in 2014. Johar, a close friend of both Aditya and Rani, revealed the lengths to which Aditya went to ensure the privacy of the event.
Aditya Chopra, known for his private nature, apparently contacted Karan Johar to personally inform him of the wedding. According to Johar, Aditya explicitly warned him against leaking any information about the ceremony. The wedding, which took place in Italy on April 21, 2014, was an intimate affair with only 18 guests in attendance.
Karan Johar recounted Aditya's words, stating, "Meri shaadi ho rahi hai, there are 18 people attending. If word gets out of this wedding, it will be you. The only person who will open his mouth is you. If I see there is a mention of this wedding in any publication...". Johar humorously added that newspapers were still the dominant source of news at the time, emphasizing the pressure he felt.
The "Koffee With Karan" episode featured Rani Mukerji and Kajol, both of whom have starred in Karan Johar's films, including his directorial debut, "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai". During the show, Karan reminisced about attending Rani and Aditya's wedding while his own production, "2 States," was nearing its release. He described feeling "hyper and hysterical" due to the responsibility of keeping the wedding a secret.
Rani Mukerji confirmed her marriage to Aditya Chopra on April 22, 2014, stating that the wedding occurred the previous night in Italy. She described it as "a beautiful wedding in the Italian countryside with just a few of our close family and friends". She also expressed missing Yash Chopra, Aditya's father and a legendary filmmaker, but acknowledged his presence in spirit. Karan Johar also tweeted on April 22, 2014, "And finally. Mr and Mrs Chopra. Love you both".
Aditya Chopra and Rani Mukerji reportedly began dating in 2008. Aditya, the head of Yash Raj Films, has directed successful films such as "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" and "Mohabbatein". The couple has maintained a low profile regarding their personal life, with Aditya rarely appearing in public or giving interviews. The couple has a daughter named Adira.
The wedding's privacy was so strict that no pictures from the event have ever been released. Karan Johar attending the wedding highlights the close bond he shares with both Aditya Chopra and Rani Mukerji. His recent revelation on "Koffee With Karan" offers a glimpse into the efforts made to maintain the privacy surrounding this significant event in Bollywood.
