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. ___________________ Chapters: 0:00 — What’s Inside 1:12 — Introduction 2:50 — Planning a Wedding: Where It All Begins 3:49 — Life After Marriage for Kriti & Pulkit 5:49 — How Much Time Do You Really Need to Plan a Wedding? 7:00 — Kriti & Pulkit’s Wedding: How They Planned Everything 8:48 — Big Fat Wedding vs. Intimate Wedding 9:36 — The Ranbir–Alia Wedding Story 10:15 — Non-Negotiables in a Shaadi 12:14 — Talking Money & Budget 13:45 — Must-Haves vs. Splurge-Worthy Items 15:40 — How Virat & Anushka’s Wedding Raised the Benchmark 16:35 — Wedding Expenses You Can Easily Avoid 19:18 — Things You Should Never Compromise On 21:02 — Jugaads to Make Your Shaadi Look Grander 22:45 — Things That Went Wrong at Pulkit & Kriti’s Wedding 25:12 — The Top 3 Vendors Every Wedding Needs 26:36 — How to Find the Best Wedding Vendors: Expert Advice 27:32 — Shaadi SOS: Real Questions, Unhinged Takes 31:00 — Pulkit’s Family & How They Strike Balance 33:58 — Massive Shaadi Drama 35:40 — Did You Ever Consider Court Marriage?
