Are you ready to burn a hole in the pocket – that is, to shell out anything up to Rs 1 crore. Then you can have your favourite celebrity to shake hands with guests, dance or sing at your wedding.
Shah Rukh Khan may not agree to do a jig, but he might happily be a guest for Rs 10 crore. Bollywood actors and item girls like Celina Jaitley, Malaika Arora Khan, Dia Mirza, Isha Koppikar and Rakhi Sawant charge nearly Rs 10 lakh each to perform.
Koena Mitra, Shefali Zariwala, Priti Jhangiyani, Payal Rohtagi, Neha Kakkar, Sanobar and Mandira Bedi charge between Rs 500,000-Rs 700,000 to perform at marriage ceremonies.
The schedule includes two high-voltage dance performances of eight-and-a-half minutes each. “It was unheard of even a decade ago. But today it’s different because people have more money. Weddings are no longer rituals for them,” Rahul Nagpal, senior manager (entertainment) of event management firm Touchwood Entertainment, told IANS.
