Viral Udaipur Wedding: The internet is abuzz with videos and photos from what’s being called the “wedding of the year” in Udaipur, where billionaire heiress Netra Mantena married tech entrepreneur Vamsi Gadiraju in a lavish four-day celebration that turned the City of Lakes into a global celebrity hotspot.
The three-day extravaganza, held at iconic venues like the Leela Palace, Zenana Mahal, and Jagmandir Island Palace on Lake Pichola, attracted A-list guests including Donald Trump Jr., Jennifer Lopez, Justin Bieber, Hrithik Roshan, Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor, and Madhuri Dixit.
Who Is Rama Raju Mantena?
Rama Raju Mantena, the father of the bride, is a prominent figure in the US pharmaceutical industry, serving as Chairman and CEO of Ingenus Pharmaceuticals, a company with operations in the United States, Switzerland, and India.
Originally from Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, Mantena moved to the United States in 1984 and built a pharmaceutical empire by founding seven successful companies, including ICORE Healthcare, International Oncology Network (ION), OncoScripts, and most recently, Integra Connect.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) in India before pursuing further studies in clinical pharmacy at the University of Maryland.
Rama Raju Mantena Wealth
Although some media outlets have labeled Mantena a “billionaire,” publicly available data estimates his net worth at around $20 million (approximately Rs 167 crore). However, in 2023, he reportedly purchased a luxury estate in Florida worth Rs 400 crore, featuring 16 bedrooms and a private beach, showcasing his opulent lifestyle.
Mantena is also known for his philanthropic activities, including a 2017 donation of a garland made of 1,008 gold coins weighing 28 kg to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams temple. He is married to Padmaja Mantena, and together they hosted this spectacular wedding celebration for their daughter Netra.
Udaipur Wedding Couple
Netra Mantena, the Indian-American heiress, married Vamsi Gadiraju, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Superorder, a rising tech startup.
The wedding ceremony, conducted according to South Indian Hindu traditions, took place on November 23, 2025, at the island palace on Lake Pichola, marking the conclusion of four days of festivities that began on November 20.
The couple’s union brought together two influential Indian-origin business families from the United States, cementing what many are calling a power marriage between pharma royalty and tech entrepreneurship.
Bollywood Stars at Udaipur Wedding
The wedding festivities featured spectacular performances by Bollywood’s biggest names, with the sangeet and mehendi ceremonies becoming the highlight of the celebration. Madhuri Dixit mesmerized guests with her iconic performance on “Dola Re Dola” from Devdas, reportedly charging between Rs 25 lakh to Rs 50 lakh for her appearance.
Ranveer Singh stole the show with his electrifying performance, dancing with bride Netra and even getting Donald Trump Jr.’s girlfriend Bettina Anderson to groove alongside him. His viral performance earned him a reported fee of Rs 3-4 crore.
What Bollywood Celebrities Charged
Shahid Kapoor matched Ranveer Singh’s fee, reportedly charging Rs 3-4 crore for his performance at the wedding. Nora Fatehi, known for her sensational dance moves, took home between Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore for her act.
Other Bollywood celebrities including Kriti Sanon, Janhvi Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Varun Dhawan, and Karan Johar were reportedly paid Rs 1-2 crore each for their respective performances at what’s being called Udaipur’s most glamorous event of 2025. The guest list also included Hrithik Roshan, who was expected to perform alongside international stars.
Jennifer Lopez at Udaipur Wedding
American pop icon Jennifer Lopez reportedly commanded a staggering fee of Rs 60 crore (approximately $7 million) for her performance at the post-wedding reception on November 24.
This isn’t her first visit to Udaipur for a high-profile wedding, she previously performed at the Hinduja family’s wedding celebration in 2015.
For the Mantena-Gadiraju wedding, JLo turned heads by wearing a custom Manish Malhotra saree, blending Hollywood glamour with Indian traditional fashion. Her fees significantly outpaced the Bollywood celebrities, making her the highest-paid performer at the wedding.
Justin Bieber at Indian Wedding
International pop sensation Justin Bieber was also reportedly part of the star-studded celebration, though his exact performance fee for the Mantena wedding hasn’t been confirmed.
However, his previous performance at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding celebration earlier in 2024 earned him a reported $10 million (approximately Rs 83 crore) for a single night’s performance in Mumbai.
Given the scale and opulence of the Udaipur wedding, industry insiders speculate that Bieber’s fee for this event could be in a similar range.
Udaipur Billionare Wedding
The wedding celebrations spanned four days, beginning with a DJ night hosted by international DJ Tiësto on November 20, followed by haldi, mehendi, and sangeet ceremonies. The main wedding ceremony took place on November 23 at Jagmandir Island Palace, with a grand reception scheduled for November 24.
The event featured over 1,200 guests, including Silicon Valley venture capitalists, Hollywood celebrities, Bollywood A-listers, and billionaire businessmen from India and America.
The wedding decor included more than 40 tons of fresh flowers arranged by a renowned London-based floral designer, while the bride’s lehengas were created by top designers Sabyasachi and Tarun Tahiliani, with costs running into crores.
Security and Global Attention
With such high-profile international guests, including Donald Trump Jr., the wedding required tight security arrangements throughout Udaipur. The presence of the US President’s son made him the “most prominent guest” at the celebration, drawing significant media attention from around the world.
Social media has been flooded with viral videos and photos from the celebrations, with fans eagerly sharing glimpses of their favorite celebrities dancing and enjoying the festivities.
The wedding has firmly established Udaipur as a preferred destination for luxury weddings, with the city being dubbed the “glamour capital” for hosting such spectacular events.
