In an upcoming episode of Koffee With Karan 8 featuring Rani Mukerji and Kajol as guests, Karan Johar shared details about Aditya Chopra and Rani’s secret wedding in 2014. Karan shed light on how the intimate ceremony was kept under wraps, with only 18 guests invited to the destination wedding.
Speaking on the show, Karan said, “Aditya is my best friend in the whole world. We have to talk about the fact when Rani and Adi got married, it was a destination wedding. Actually they began the destination wedding of movie stars if nobody knows it. I don’t even want to say where it was because I think he will still fire me like decades later. He literally threatens me that if i ever put a photograph of his and mine that we take every Diwali.”
“He told me, ‘Meri shaadi ho rahi hai, there are 18 people attending. If word gets out of this wedding, it will be you. The only person who will open his mouth is you. If I see there is a mention of this wedding in any publication.’ At that time newspapers were still dominating. I was so hyper and hysterical,” Karan added.
The filmmaker also revealed that he didn’t tell about Aditya Chopra and Rani Mukerji’s wedding to his own mother, Hiroo Johar. He said, “I had to lie to my mother. We had a release. It was 2014, April. I will never forget it. 2 States was releasing. I had to abandon my movie release, tell everybody I have an event in Manchester, for some reason made it up. But everyone was like, ‘On release weekend, why are you going to Manchester?’ I was like, ‘I have to go, I have to go.’”
2 States hit the screens on April 18, 2014, coinciding with Aditya and Rani’s wedding. A year following their marriage in 2015, the couple welcomed their daughter Adira.
