Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor's home wedding caused their neighbours a lot of trouble, revealed security consultant, Yusuf Ibrahim.
Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor tied the knot on April 14, 2022, at their residence in Mumbai, Vastu. The couple was joined by their close friends from Bollywood and their family to celebrate the joyous occasion. The duo welcomed their daughter, Raha Kapoor, later in 2022. The trio has been winning our hearts ever since.
Security consultant, Yusuf Ibrahim sat for an interview with Siddharth Kannan. During the conversation, he was asked which celebrity wedding tested his management skills. For the unversed, Yusuf orchestrated top-notch security for several celebrity weddings, including Alia Bhatt-Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif-Vicky Kaushal, and Varun Dhawan-Natasha Dalal. The security lead looked back at providing security cover for Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s wedding and called it the most challenging task. He shared that over 350 media personnel were stationed outside their wedding venue. He was quoted saying:
"The toughest ever wedding we managed was that of Alia Bhatt. There were at least 350 people from media houses. At least ten people came from each company. Additionally, their fans had assembled outside their home. The same company sent four people from each of their regional channels. People had crowded the entire Pali Hill.
In the same conversation, Yusuf revealed that fans and media were gathered around the Pali Hills. He recalled the roads were so packed that they had to attend to the guests from all the way down the road. Yusuf also shared that not only were the celebrities troubled by the crowd, but the people residing in the building got annoyed by the chaos as well.
"Both ways leading to Pali Hill were filled with media and fans. The crowd was so much that we had to attend to guests' cars from down the road leading to their building. We had to run behind the cars. It got even more challenging because even the guests at the wedding were celebrities. The chaos was such that even the people residing in the building got annoyed and were immensely troubled."
Yusuf Ibrahim revealed that 60 people were working round-the-clock at the wedding of Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor. He added that they worked 24 hours, and it was crazy because the building had just one gate for both entry and exit. He recalled escorting all the relatives and friends through the crowded road.
Yusuf recalled that as all their guests were celebrities, the press would get crazy at night. Making sure that everyone was safe and the celebration went smoothly was a difficult task for their team. However, they were able to pull it off, making sure everything went smoothly. He stated:
"All of their guests were celebs. The press was crazy on that night. I had kept half of my boys in uniform and the rest of them in a civil dress so that they could manage it well and keep an eye on everybody without making them conscious. They would update me that the media is planning to climb the wall, and so I would instruct them to cover the walls. This is how we managed."
