00:00A Kejriwal wedding at Kapoorthala House. Why and how?
00:04That's Amadmi Party National Convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal going viral for an apolitical reason.
00:10His dance at his daughter Harshita Sangeet with his wife on the Pushpa 2 hit appeared to win hearts across the political spectrum.
00:17But where there is a big fat Indian wedding of an Amadmi, a controversy isn't too far away.
00:23Harshita married her IIT Delhi classmate Sambhav Jain in Delhi's Kapoorthala House,
00:27where they held both the Jai Maal and the reception on April 18th of 2025.
00:32Now, Kapoorthala House, the third house on Man Singh Road, in the heart of Lutians, Delhi,
00:37is the official residence of the Chief Minister of Punjab.
00:39That's Bhagwan Singh Man's official residence when he is in Delhi.
00:43Kapoorthala House is so close to Cannot Place, it is not a surprise that Kejriwal's guests stayed at the Shangri-La close by as per media reports.
00:51The engagement function had also been organised at the Five Star property on April 17th of 2025.
00:56A few days later, at the Kapoorthala House, Bhagwanth Maan was seen dancing to the tunes of singer Mika Singh,
01:01who also performed at the wedding.
01:03This triggered Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar, who said that the residence was now the marriage palace of eminence.
01:10If you rewind, even Amadmi Party MP Raghav Chaddha's pre-wedding festivities,
01:14with actress Pariniti Chopra, had taken place at Kapoorthala House.
01:18The internet was largely left divided on Kejriwal's previous advocacy for frugality and minimalistic weddings.
01:24Others maintained that everyone has the right to celebrate as they wish,
01:28and that the couple getting married could well fund the event themselves.
01:31This also comes after Kejriwal's erstwhile official residence was at the centre of a heated campaign in the Delhi Assembly elections of 2025.
01:40Touted as Sheesh Mahal by the opposition for its apparent lavishness,
01:43Kejriwal was eventually voted out of power and had to resort to an alternate ARP leader's residence
01:48to host a Lutins Delhi wedding for his daughter at the end of it all.
01:52So the question simply is, can you take a stand on simple living after an extravagant wedding?
