In the first episode of his YouTube channel ‘Voice of Vows’, Ankit shared several details about the wedding that no one had heard before. He talked about the heavy “fortress-like” security at the event, the strict rules put in place to keep everything private, and a sweet surprise moment when Parineeti walked into the mandap to a special song she had secretly recorded just for Raghav.
Arvind Kejriwal carried Raghav Chadha on his shoulders during the baraat
He also spoke about former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann, who were spotted dancing their hearts out during the baraat and even hoisted the groom on their shoulders. Giving a glimpse into the intense security measures and the star-studded guest list, Ankit shared, “The security inside the Leela Palace was absolutely insane – it was an absolute fortress. They were so fiercely protective of the privacy and sanctity of the rituals that absolutely no unauthorised photos or videos were allowed. In fact, things were so strict that even Priyanka Chopra’s mom was asked to delete photos she had taken on her phone! But beyond the tight security, the boat arrivals, and the global media frenzy, what truly blew me away was the deep respect everyone showed.”“Seeing powerful political leaders like Arvind Kejriwal ji and Bhagwant Mann ji stand spellbound for eighty minutes, genuinely trying to understand the science and soul behind every single vow, made it unforgettable,” he added.
