In a recent revelation, photographer Varinder Chawla provided insights into celebrity gatherings hosted by the Ambani family, shedding light on how paparazzi coverage unfolds at such high-profile events. Known for attracting Bollywood A-listers, events like the launch of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai and Anant Ambani’s pre-wedding festivities have become prime spots for celebrity sightings.
During a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) session, Chawla addressed queries about the Ambanis’ involvement in inviting paparazzi. Contrary to common practice among celebrities who often extend invitations for media coverage, Chawla stated that the Ambanis do not need to call paparazzi. “Do you think they need to call paps, lol,” he remarked, highlighting the organic interest generated by their events.
Chawla also detailed the varied ways in which celebrities engage with paparazzi, noting that some stars arrange for coverage during movie promotions and airport visits, while others are trailed to different locations. He revealed that tips about celebrity sightings often come from unexpected sources, including beggars in Mumbai who have direct contact with the paparazzi team.
Most recently, the Ambanis hosted a lavish pre-wedding celebration for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant aboard a cruise, attended by prominent Bollywood figures such as Janhvi Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan, Ranveer Singh, and Shah Rukh Khan. The event marked another instance where the Ambanis’ gatherings became focal points for celebrity and media attention.
Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are slated to exchange vows on July 12, further cementing the family’s prominence in both societal and media circles.
