Bengaluru, 19 Oct 2016: Gali Janardhan Reddy, a former Karnataka minister in the BS Yeddyurappa government and mining baron, has given a whole new dimension to the big fat Indian wedding.
The wedding invite for Reddy’s daughter Bramhani comes in a box which when opened has an LCD screen coming live and a text announces "Bramhani Weds Rajeev Reddy".
The screen then goes on to play a video that has Reddy and his wife lip syncing to Atithi Devobhava (guest is like God)song. Later the bride and groom are introduced eyeing each other coyly. The bride swings her lehenga and runs in slow motion. The groom is introduced with white stallions in the background.
The one-minute video ends with a close-up of the family and the date and venue of the wedding.
Mr Reddy, 49, and his older brother G Karunakara Reddy were ministers in the BJP government headed by BS Yeddyurappa till July 2011. Months later, Mr Reddy was arrested by the CBI in an illegal mining case and spent three years in jail. He was released on conditional bail last year.
The wedding which is due in November is expected to be a star-studded event and a grand show of opulence, quite like the engagement ceremony last month.
