Shahid Kapoor Shines at Haldiram’s Viral Nagpur Wedding

New Delhi, February 17, 2026: The recent “Haldiram wedding” in Nagpur has taken the internet by storm, blending billionaire-level opulence with high-octane Bollywood energy. The event celebrated the marriage of Vivek Agrawal—son of Kamal Agrawal (MD of Haldiram Group) and grandson of Chairman Shivkishan Agrawal—to Kenisha Paliwal.

The celebration, held at the Le Meridien Nagpur over the weekend of February 14-15, 2026, became a viral sensation for several reasons:

1. Shahid Kapoor’s High-Energy Performance

Shahid Kapoor was the undisputed star of the sangeet night. Dressed in a sleek all-black ensemble, he performed a high-energy medley of his greatest hits. Fans were particularly thrilled to see him recreate his iconic moves to “Mauja Hi Mauja” (from Jab We Met), proving it remains his ultimate wedding anthem nearly 20 years later.

2. The “Upside-Down” Chandelier Cake

Perhaps the most shared detail was the eight-tier wedding cake. Far from a traditional stand, it was an upside-down chandelier cake that literally descended from the ceiling. Handcrafted by a local Nagpur bakery (The Cake Affair), the white-and-gold masterpiece featured intricate pearl beads and was lowered via a motorized chandelier for the couple to cut.

3. Spectacular Fireworks & Decor

The scale of the production was described by guests as “royal.” Key highlights included:

• Pyrotechnics: Massive firework displays lit up the Nagpur sky during the sangeet and the main ceremony.
• Palatial Decor: The venue featured towering floral arrangements, glistening ice sculptures, and massive chandeliers to create a palace-like atmosphere.
• The Guest List: Beyond Shahid Kapoor, other celebrities like Rakul Preet Singh and Vaani Kapoor were in attendance, along with political figures like BJP leader Hansraj Ahir.

4. A Cinematic Coincidence

Interestingly, the wedding took place just as Shahid Kapoor’s latest film, O’ Romeo (directed by Vishal Bhardwaj and co-starring Triptii Dimri), released in theaters on February 13, 2026. His appearance in Nagpur served as an impromptu celebration of the film’s successful opening weekend.

The “Haldiram wedding” has set a new benchmark for “big fat Indian weddings” in 2026, combining the heritage of one of India’s most famous snack empires with modern-day viral spectacle.
