Filmmaker Varun Grover recently highlighted the anticipated traffic disruptions at Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) due to an upcoming grand wedding event.
Sharing a notice from Mumbai Police regarding changes in traffic arrangements from July 12 to 15, Grover humorously referred to the event as a “public event” in his post on social media platform X. He quipped with a “lol” (laugh out loud) and commented on the potential chaos caused by the gathering of numerous celebrities.

The event in question is the wedding of Anant Ambani, son of businessman Mukesh Ambani, to Radhika Merchant. Their pre-wedding festivities, including a sangeet on July 5, have already attracted attention for hosting international celebrities in Jamnagar, Gujarat, earlier this year.
Grover’s reference to “monarchy creating anarchy” reflects his amusement at the extravagant scale and the consequential disruption of normal city activities.
The Jio World Convention Centre at BKC is slated to host the main wedding ceremonies from July 12 to 15, prompting Mumbai Police to issue traffic advisories to manage the influx of guests and accompanying media attention.
This high-profile event not only showcases opulence but also underscores the logistical challenges faced by authorities in a densely populated urban area like Mumbai.
Grover’s social media commentary, combining humor with social observation, reflects a common sentiment among residents regarding the disruptions caused by such large-scale private events.
The public reaction to such events often oscillates between fascination with the glamour and frustration with the logistical inconveniences they bring to city life.
