In entertainment industry, there has the been trend of spending a staggering amount of money on weddings. From high-scale venues to designer outfits, everything costs over crore.

When talking about Bollywood star couples, Anushka Sharma-Virat Kohli, Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra-Nick Jonas, Katrina Kaif-Vicky Kaushal, had the most expensive weddings ever. Well, if we talk about the South film industry, do you know who had the most grand and high-scale wedding in India? It was RRR star Jr NTR with his lady love Lakshmi Pranathi.

Jr NTR’s wedding became the talk of the town as it was one of the most lavish and costly affairs of the year. The actor tied the knot with Lakshmi Pranathi, daughter of top businessman Narne Srinivasa Rao, in an arrange marriage set up on May 5, 2011.

According to reports by Indian Express, the overall budget of the wedding was Rs 100 crore. Around 3000 celebrities and 1200 fans joined in to celebrate Jr NTR’s D-Day. Moreover, Rs 18 crore was spent to decorate the giant mandap. The bride donned a beautiful gold Kanjeevaram saree, estimated to be worth a staggering Rs 1 crore. On the other hand, groom wore a traditional white kurta and dhoti, perfectly complementing his bride’s grandeur.

While wedding was ultra-luxurious and grand, the couple faced a legal controversy beforehand. At the time of their engagement, Lakshmi Pranathi was just 17-years-old. Following the news of the wedding, her lawyer Singuluri Shanti Prasad filed a complainant against the actor under the Child Marriage Act, escalating the situation. In order to avoid any further controversy, Jr NTR waited for Lakshmi to turn 18 and got married after that.

The couple’s love blossomed further as they embraced parenthood three years after their marriage, welcoming their first child, a son named Abhay Ram in 2014. Their joy doubled up in 2014, when they were blessed with another child, a baby boy named Bhargav.
