Bollywood Celebrity – Vishal Punjabi, the founder of The Wedding Filmer, has gained considerable fame within Bollywood circles for his exceptional work in wedding filmmaking. Recently, Vishal shared a startling anecdote about a celebrity couple who refused to accept their wedding film. The reason behind this decision was quite scandalous and unexpected.
A Scandalous Revelation: Bollywood Actor Caught Cheating
During a recent podcast on YouTube, Vishal Punjabi was asked if any marriages he filmed had ended in divorce. Vishal recounted an incident involving a “big Bollywood actor” who was caught cheating on his wife just two months after their wedding. He revealed that the actor was discovered red-handed with another Bollywood actress in his makeup van on a film set.
The Wife’s Reaction: Refusal of the Wedding Film
Without revealing any names, Vishal described how the actor’s wife caught him in a compromising situation and immediately decided she did not want their wedding film. The betrayal was so significant that the bride and groom chose not to accept the footage of their wedding, despite the effort and resources put into its creation.
Vishal’s Unsuccessful Attempts to Deliver the Wedding Film
Vishal Punjabi further elaborated on the incident, stating that he tried to contact the groom, but his calls went unanswered. When he spoke to the bride, she firmly refused to take the wedding film. It became clear to Vishal that the couple had no intention of accepting the film due to the infidelity incident.
Learning from the Incident: Changing Business Practices
Following this incident, Vishal Punjabi was left speechless and even considered selling their wedding film to Netflix. The experience led him to change his business practices; he began charging the full amount upfront before starting any project. Previously, he had a 50-50 payment arrangement in his contracts with clients.
Ownership of the Unclaimed Wedding Footage
In the same podcast, Vishal revealed that despite the couple’s refusal, he still owns the footage of their wedding film. Reflecting on the video, he mentioned that the groom’s emotional display of love, which he referred to as “crocodile tears,” turned the wedding film into an unintentional comedy. Vishal joked about potentially selling the film to earn substantial money.
The high-profile weddings of Bollywood celebrities such as Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, and Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani share a notable commonality: all their wedding films were shot by The Wedding Filmer. This renowned company, founded by celebrity wedding filmmaker Vishal Punjabi, has made a significant mark in the B-Town wedding scene.
