Is that Khloe Kardashian or Rakhi Sawant? The Ambani wedding is attracting more memes than guests
When the Ambani family decided to host a wedding extravaganza that would make even Gatsby's legendary soirees seem like a modest get-together, the internet collectively donned their finest virtual sherwanis and sarees to join in the spectacle from their couches. The universal disappointment of missing out on the coveted invitations was palpable, and social media became a hotbed of hilarious commentary.
Jackie Shroff, ever the quirky character, turned heads by carrying his "oxygen cylinder," which was, in fact, a potted plant. This peculiar accessory spawned a wave of memes, only to be outshone by the surprise appearance of WWE star John Cena.
The wrestler’s presence at the wedding was meme gold, with fans quipping about the paparazzi photographing an "invisible man" (a nod to his popular catchphrase: “You can’t see me) and playfully urging Cena to perform his wrestling moves on unsuspecting guests.
The arrival of reality television royalty Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloe was another meme-worthy highlight. Fans couldn't resist likening Khloe to Indian Bigg Boss sensation Rakhi Sawant. Apart from that, the general awkwardness of the Hollywood crowd at such a culturally rich event was meme fodder at its finest.
And then there were the Bachchans. Jaya Bachchan's signature pout and Amitabh's dry wit were meme staples, particularly in the context of Rekha's presence. “You’re looking more beautiful than Rekha, I promise,” with a picture of Amitabh whispering something to Jaya on the red carpet was one of the recurring ones. For those not in the know, Amitabh and Rekha's alleged romantic history has been a subject of Bollywood gossip for decades, making their appearance at the same event ripe for endless internet jokes.
For board game fanatics, the wedding resulted in memes for you too. The outfit choices of Bollywood actors Ananya Panday, Khushi Kapoor and Shanaya Kapoor closely resembled Ludo pieces in yellow, green and blue lehengas, with just the red one missing.
Alluding to the multiple performances from local and internationally artists, social media began jesting that the family is attempting to recreate their Spotify Wrapped top artists live.
This wedding wasn't just a celebration; it was a meme-maker's paradise. One particular one that surfaced is relevant to every wedding with potential gate crashes, not just a billionaire’s. The meme, taken from the film 3 Idiots, showed Ambani asking which side uninvited guests were from, to which they replied, “We’re from Jio World Centre’s side,” which is where the event was held.
From Bollywood references that had the Ambani elders raising eyebrows to cheeky comments about the star-studded guest list, no aspect of this grand affair was left unroasted. The internet did what it does best: turned the most opulent wedding the world has ever seen into a playground of laughs.
