Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone’s 2018 wedding receptions left a strong impression on paparazzi, not just because of the star power, but because of the way the couple treated the media. While celebrity weddings often bring chaos, long waits, and crowded scenes for photographers, this one stood out for a very different reason. Paparazzo Snehkumar Zala has now recalled that Ranveer and Deepika ensured the media were well taken care of at their receptions, with food, sweets, and warm treatment that made the experience memorable.

As reported by The Indian Express, paparazzo Snehkumar Zala told Hindi Rush that Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone were always courteous to photographers and made their wedding celebrations enjoyable to cover. Recalling his experience, he said, “They both behave very nicely. They pose for the paps at all the events. We have had only good moments with them. When I was new to the industry, I had gone to cover their wedding. They made sure to get clicked with the paps.”
Zala also recalled the scale and care of the arrangements during the receptions held after the Lake Como wedding. Ranveer and Deepika tied the knot in 2018 with two ceremonies, a traditional Konkani ceremony followed by a Sindhi ceremony, before hosting multiple receptions in India. According to Zala, the media received special attention at those events.He said, “They had hosted multiple wedding receptions, about three of them, and at each event, they treated the media extremely well. They served good food and sweets at a proper five-star hotel. The arrangements were excellent. It was too fun to cover their wedding.”

Zala said another wedding that stood out for its treatment of paparazzi was the 2024 wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. He told Hindi Rush, “Similarly, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant invited the paps along with their family members to attend their wedding. We personally went and greeted them on the stage.”Their celebrations stretched across several events, from pre-wedding functions in Jamnagar to a luxury cruise in Europe and then a week-long wedding celebration in Mumbai. The provided material also states that special langars were set up outside Antilia for commoners for nearly a month, while paparazzi covering the festivities were also treated with respect.For photographers who often deal with chaos and long hours at celebrity weddings, these two celebrations stood out for a different reason. They offered respect, warmth, and thoughtful arrangements. Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone’s wedding receptions, in particular, left paparazzi with a lasting memory of genuine hospitality.
