Inside India’s ‘fake’ wedding craze - What in the World podcast, BBC World Service

The big fat 'fake' Indian wedding is social media's latest party trend. Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM Fake wedding parties have taken the world and social media by storm with people getting together to enjoy all the fun of a wedding party: the food, Bollywood music, dancing and glamorous outfits. But there isn’t any of the rules on how to dress or act and none of the nagging questions from nosey relatives. We speak to Devina Gupta, a BBC journalist in Delhi, about how these fake parties are contributing to India’s $130bn wedding industry, and how venues are optimising the trend the make up for lost profits in the quiet season. And, we get all the goss on Dubai’s very own fake wedding party from pals Tanisha Dhawan, Laveena Barathi and Mihika Asrani who attended. Plus, they tell us whether they’re ready to splash the cash on a big fat wedding of their own.
