Mumbai: Star couple Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s wedding was one of the most talked-about events of B-town as Ranbir finally got hitched after dating several women.
However, not many are aware that Alia and Ranbir’s intimate wedding at their Mumbai home Vastu on April 14, 2022 was the most challenging that celebrity security consultant Yusuf Ibrahim had ever managed. Apparently, the star couple’s wedding had left their neighbours annoyed.
In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Ibrahim shared that providing security cover during Alia’s wedding was one of the most challenging tasks of his career.
Revealing the details of the D-day, Yusuf said, “The toughest ever wedding we managed was that of Alia Bhatt. There were at least 350 people from media houses. At least ten people came from each company. Additionally, their fans had assembled outside their home. Same company sent four people from each of their regional channels. People had crowded the entire Pali Hill. Both ways leading to Pali Hill was filled with media and fans. The crowd was so much that we had to attend to guests’ cars from down the road leading to their building. We had to run behind the cars. It got even more challenging because even the guests at the wedding were celebrities. The chaos was such that even the people residing in the building got annoyed and were immensely troubled.”
He added, “We were about 60 people in each shift and our shift was of eight hours each. We worked round the clock. It was crazy because the building has just one gate for both entry and exit, so everybody had to enter through the same gate. We had to escort all the relatives and friends through that crowded road. All of their guests were celebs. Press was crazy on that night. I had kept half of my boys in uniform and rest of them in civil dress so that they can manage it well and keep an eye on everybody without making them conscious. They would update me that media is planning to climb the wall and so, I would instruct them to cover the walls. This is how we managed.”
Yusuf shared that he knows Alia since her debut film ‘Student of The Year,’ and has been working for Ranbir since the release of ‘Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani.’
