  "account": "Aditya Chopra and Rani Mukerji wove a spectacular tale when they orchestrated a discreet 13-guest wedding in Italy on April 21, 2014. The couple, who had long kept their romance under wraps, managed to keep their union a secret affair, confining the event to a select few family members and close friends. The statement from Aditya's production house, Yash Raj Films, disclosed that the ceremony was an intimate gathering, with Sabyasachi Mukherjee crafting Rani's lehenga for the occasion. Sabyasachi reminisced about his experience, revealing that only 13 people were present, including Aditya, who was captivated by drones during the event. The filmmaker had given Sabyasachi just a week to complete Rani's outfit, and she playfully remarked that he was chasing drones amidst the proceedings. Among the few guests were filmmaker Karan Johar, who was once Aditya's assistant on his directorial debut, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, and Rani's in his subsequent films, including Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. When the wedding details threatened to leak, Johar was tasked with ensuring its secrecy, as he was the sole connection to the outside world. Aditya and Rani, who welcomed daughter Adira in 2015, have long maintained a private life, rarely sharing wedding photos in the public eye. The actor expressed her understanding of her husband's desire for privacy, noting that releasing the pictures on their 25th wedding anniversary would be a fitting tribute to their love.",
