What's the story

DJ Aqeel recently spilled beans on the grand wedding of Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani, son of India's richest man Mukesh Ambani. Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, he disclosed the baraat was a nearly five-hour spectacle divided into 13 stages. "The baraat had 13 stages and I was on one of them. It was good fun," he said, adding it felt like a non-stop marathon with numerous artists present.

NDA impact

Aqeel's social media silence due to non-disclosure agreement

Aqeel also explained the reason for his attendance at the grand celebration wasn't all over social media. He revealed that he had agreed to a strict non-disclosure agreement (NDA) which prevented him from sharing any posts about the event. "Any social media posts from my end could have led to legal action against me," he clarified during the interview.

Bollywood memories

Aqeel reminisced about performing at Bollywood sangeets

Further, Aqeel fondly recalled his performances at the sangeet ceremonies of Bollywood's iconic couples. He described Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan's sangeet as an intimate event at the Taj with a select guest list. Meanwhile, he recalled Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's sangeet as a lively party at their Juhu residence. "Both events were enjoyable," he stated, attributing this to his close ties with both families.

International gig

Aqeel's performance at Lakshmi Mittal's daughter's wedding

Aqeel also spoke about performing at Lakshmi Mittal's daughter's wedding in Paris. Mittal, a UK-based steel tycoon and executive chairman of ArcelorMittal, threw a grand party for his daughter. Aqeel also revealed Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan and Saif were hosts of this event. He has been associated with the Ambani family for over two decades now.
