Multi-millionaire Indian heiress Shriya Bhupal is having the dreamiest wedding in France

This year, the bar on big fat Indian weddings is only getting higher — Shriya Bhupal, grand-daughter of businessman GVK Reddy and the brains behind the fashion brand Shriya Som, had a lavish pre-wedding masquerade ball last night, where every aspect from culture to couture was taken note of. Held at the historic Château de Chantilly in Paris, the bride-to-be picked an elegant Giambattista Valli gown that could have easily passed off as a red carpet outfit for this year’s Met Gala 2018.

The designer is marrying Anindith Reddy, the grandson of Apollo hospitals chairman Pratap C Reddy.

India’s most expensive weddings 

Vanisha Mittal married Amit Bhatia in 2004 in a bash that cost approximately Rs 240 crore. The guestlist featured Shah Rukh Khan and the actual festivities had performances by Kylie Minogue and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The wedding was the only private event to have ever been conducted at the Palais de Versailles.
