Varun Grover questions priorities as Ambani wedding causes traffic chaos
What's the story
The who's who of Indian business and entertainment will descend upon Mumbai next weekend for the wedding of Mukesh Ambani's youngest son, Anant Ambani.
The ceremony, which will take place at the Jio World Convention Centre in Bandra, is expected to cause significant traffic disruptions.
On Saturday, filmmaker-comedian Varun Grover reposted a notice from Mumbai Police's official X/Twitter handle, highlighting concerns about the impact on commuters.
Hilarious comment
'Monarchy creating anarchy...'
Grover took to X and shared the notice regarding changes in traffic arrangements on July 5 and from July 12 to 15 due to a "public event."
This coincided with Anant and his fiancee Radhika Merchant's sangeet on Friday (July 5) and their upcoming wedding festivities scheduled from July 12 to 15.
Grover hashtagged "Public Event" and humorously added "lol" (laugh out loud) next to it.
In his caption, he remarked, "Monarchy creating anarchy."
