Karan Johar's Shaadi Playbook (Under 49 Mins) Ep1 The Manyavar Shaadi Show Ft. Pulkit, Kriti, Devika

India is a land of many languages, many cultures, and apparently not enough wedding shows.
We host 8–10 million weddings every year, and every single one feels like its own little universe, new gossip, new budgets, new surprise moments.

And that’s exactly where Episode 1 begins:
▪️ Where does your shaadi story actually start?
▪️With a budget sheet?
▪️With some half-baked childhood dreams?
▪️Or what your wedding planner suggests.

In the first episode of The Manyavar Shaadi Show, Karan Johar sits down with a truly joyous couple,
Kriti Kharbanda and Pulkit Samrat.

You’ve seen them in iconic films, you’ve laughed with them, cried with them, and now you get to see the story of a wedding that really does feel like it was stitched together by destiny itself.

Joining them is Devika Narain, founder of Devika Narain & Company — the creative brain behind some of India’s most beautiful, emotional, and downright magical weddings, including the Virat–Anushka wedding.
