Janardhana Reddy

Janardhana Reddy is a former Indian politician known for his tenure as a minister in the Karnataka government and his significant wealth. He gained notoriety for hosting what is considered one of the most expensive weddings in Indian history, held in November 2016, which had a staggering budget of 500 crore rupees. The lavish event, celebrated over five days, attracted over 50,000 guests and included extravagant expenditures such as a 17 crore rupee bridal saree and 90 crore rupees worth of jewelry. Reddy faced criticism for the ostentation of the wedding, particularly during a time of economic hardship in India due to demonetization, leading to questions about the sources of his wealth.
