Security Head Says ‘Maharaja’ Gatecrasher Entered Anushka SharmaVirat Kohli’s 2017 Wedding

A podcast recollection points to weak vetting at celebrity weddings that juggle split guest lists.

Overview

  • Security chief Yaseen Khan told the Hindi Rush podcast that an uninvited man slipped into the couple’s private Tuscany ceremony.
  • He said the man wore a maharaja-style outfit, arrived in a BMW with two bouncers, and was waved in by trainee event staff.
  • Khan, stationed on the main floor, said his team flagged the guest and Virat Kohli’s manager confirmed the person was invited only to the Delhi reception.
  • According to Khan, the man kept to a corner, posed for photos with celebrities, bristled when told to leave, and then exited.
  • The wedding had about 40 guests, and outlets note no response from the couple as Khan’s firsthand account highlights how privacy plans at elite weddings can still break down.
