Lavish Wedding Invite From Ex-Minister Gali Janardhan Reddy Goes Viral

Hyderabad: Former Karnataka minister and mining baron Gali Janardhan Reddy, 49, is again in news, but this time for a big fat wedding card on his daughter's marriage. The mining baron has given a new twist to the big fat Indian wedding by designing the invitation with innovative idea as it comes in a box equipped with video message.

Reddy's daughter Bramhani's wedding is scheduled on November 16 and engagement ceremony was performed in September on a grand note. If you open invite box, a little LCD screen turns alive with a song and a text announces 'Bramhani Weds Rajeev Reddy.' Then comes a message from Gali Janardhan Reddy accompanied with his wife and son saying 'Atithi Devobhava (guest is like God).'

Subsequently, the bride and groom are introduced in a lavish setting that puts Bollywood to shame. The bride and groom are introduced in the video flick. The one-minute video ends with a close-up of the family as the date and venue are announced.

He and his older brother G Karunakara Reddy were ministers in the BJP government headed by BS Yeddyurappa till July 2011. He spent three years in jail in connection with illegal mining. He was released last year on bail. However, months later, Reddy was arrested by the CBI.

His daughter's wedding is expected to be a star-studded event. Brahmani's engagement ceremony last month was considered to be one of the richest functions in the country. If the wedding invite is any indication, the powerful politician is spending a fortune on the wedding.
