Filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker's son, Konark Gowariker, tied the knot with Niyati Kanakia, the daughter of real estate mogul Rasesh Kanakia, on March 2 in Mumbai. The wedding, an exquisite blend of tradition and modern glamour, was followed by a spectacular reception that brought together some of the biggest names in Bollywood.
The celebration was a visual treat, with many guests reminiscing about Ashutosh’s iconic film Lagaan — a central theme at the wedding. The film, which became a landmark in Indian cinema, set the tone for the event, and it was evident in the beautiful decor and subtle references throughout the evening. The newlyweds, Konark and Niyati, beamed with joy as they posed for photographers, surrounded by loved ones and industry stalwarts.
Aamir Khan, Gracy Singh, Sonali Bendre, Goldie Behl, Riteish Deshmukh, Genelia Deshmukh, Kiran Rao, Gayatri Oberoi, Ira Khan, and Nupur Shikhare were among the star-studded guests who made the evening even more unforgettable. Music composer Anu Malik, along with his family — Anmol Malik and Ada Malik — also graced the occasion, alongside Vidya Balan, Siddharth Roy Kapur, Javed Akhtar, and Shabana Azmi. The entire affair exuded warmth, elegance, and the camaraderie of an intimate, yet grand celebration.
Ashutosh, known for his work in films like Lagaan, Swades, and Jodha Akbar, surely had a proud moment as he watched his son embark on this new chapter of life. It was a wedding reception to remember, filled with love, laughter, and the magic of Bollywood’s finest coming together in celebration.
