The city of Udaipur, renowned globally for its shimmering lakes and majestic palaces, recently served as the backdrop for one of the year’s most extravagant and high-profile weddings: the union of Netra Mantena and tech entrepreneur Vamsi Gadiraju. Netra, the daughter of US-based pharmaceutical tycoon Rama Raju Mantena, and Vamsi, a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, celebrated their knot in a spectacular ceremony that perfectly married South Indian culture with global star power.

The multi-day celebration at venues like the Jagmandir Island Palace immediately caught the public’s attention, not just for the sheer luxury on display but for a dazzling, truly international guest list that set it apart as a global cultural event.

A Guest List That Bridged Hollywood and Bollywood

The wedding’s guest list was a veritable roll call of A-list talent and international dignitaries. From Hollywood, the presence of global icon Jennifer Lopez and political figure Donald Trump Jr. turned the palace grounds into a temporary international hotspot. JLo even performed some of her biggest hits at the reception, dazzling the audience with her high-energy show.

Closer to home, the celebration was graced by Bollywood’s biggest names. Actors like Ranveer Singh, Janhvi Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor, and Kriti Sanon not only attended but set the stage ablaze with electrifying performances during the Sangeet ceremony, hosted by Karan Johar and Sophie Choudry. This exceptional gathering showcased an effortless blend of glamour, culture, and high society.

Tollywood Royalty Takes Center Stage: Ram Charan’s Presence

Amidst the global glitterati, the presence of Tollywood superstar Ram Charan quickly became one of the most talked-about highlights. The actor’s attendance cemented the wedding’s status as a major cultural event.

Ram Charan, who arrived looking effortlessly stylish in a tailored dark suit, was seen interacting warmly with various guests. A particular moment that went viral was the actor engaging in a seemingly deep conversation with Donald Trump Jr. The image of the two high-profile figures—one a global film icon, the other a major political personality—chatting amicably perfectly symbolized the unique blend of worlds that the Mantena-Gadiraju wedding had managed to bring together in the heart of Rajasthan. Ram Charan’s star power ensured that the South Indian film industry was represented at the highest level of this international gathering.

The Splendour of the Palace Backdrop

The choice of Udaipur, often dubbed the "Venice of the East," contributed immensely to the royal atmosphere. Hosting events across the majestic properties, including the island palace on Lake Pichola, provided a backdrop of regal charm and opulence that few other locations in the world can match.

The Mantena and Gadiraju families ensured that every detail reflected a commitment to luxury, from the spectacular floral installations to the curated, multi-cuisine menus that featured an Andhra station—a cultural nod to the families' roots—alongside international gourmet dishes. The wedding of Netra and Vamsi was more than just a ceremony; it was a multi-day spectacle that successfully fused rich Indian tradition with contemporary global grandeur.
