Don’t Know Them Personally: Taapsee Reveals Why She Skipped Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant's Wedding

Taapsee Pannu was among the few celebrities who remained missing from the wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. After months of pre-wedding festivities, the couple hosted a three-day wedding bash from July 12 to July 14 in Mumbai. The bigwigs from the world of entertainment, politics, sports and business attended the opulent celebrations. However, Taapsee skipped the festivities and in an old interview shared her intent behind doing the same.

It seems like Taapsee had decided well in advance that she would not be attending the wedding festivities hosted by the Ambanis. An old interview of the Pink fame actress doing rounds on social media shows her confirming her absence from the same. A clip of her talking about it has now been shared on Reddit. 

Asked if she would attend the wedding, Taapsee shared in the interview, “I don't know them personally. I feel weddings are very personal. I am sure there are a lot of friends of theirs but I prefer to go to a marriage where at least there is some kind of communication between the family and the guest.” For the unversed, Taapsee herself got married in a hush-hush ceremony in March earlier this year. The actress has previously revealed that she liked her wedding to be an intimate affair with only friends and family in attendance. She is yet to share the official photos from the ceremony.
